So I'm going to be fostering some baby rats for my senior project...I'm hoping yo convince my family to keep them though, they arrive may 9th because I have a trip on May 4 through 6 so I won't be home to care for them....but after that I'll have them..they are getting a cage provided but I do want to make sure they have treats and such that they like...so that's happening...also I graduate June 1st, and I took my senior photos with my snake, so those are cool....um..yeah that's actually my only update really...life stayed pretty much the same for the most part

CANT FIND COMFORT FOOD ITEM

I have a preference for a specific brand of chips called "ZAPP'S", and a dollar store near me carries them all the time...but recently I went in and they had none, I had gone to this one specifically for them, and they didn't have them, and I almost had a meltdown....thankfully I was with my social worker who helped me through that and eventually I found a book and a different kind of chip I like, and I found out the gas station 5 minutes from me had them, so I thankfully did get some....but having a fixation on a specific snack that is hard to find sucks....because I also know target has them...but I can get 7 bags for the week at dollar tree to last till I go back. At a $1.25USD, whereas everywhere else one bag is 5 dollars USD. And not finding them for a week is hard....I've even resorted to buying some snacks on Amazon in bulk because I know they will have them and I like that familiarity of the snacks.....but having a hard to find fav is hard when you don't like routine changes.

Hoarding disorder

I'm watching the most recent video from Nikko Ortiz, it's called "NEVER LIVE with a hoarder...", and one thing that bothers me is he is treating it like just messy people and not an actual mental condition.....and he's very disrespectful about it saying things like "don't blame others for your mess" when it comes to a lady who hoard due to an abusive marriage with a narssacist...hoarding js a hoarding DISORDER...and then saying send them away to clean.....that makes it worse.....they hoard due to severe trauma....the things they keep are an extension to themselves at the time...losing that all with ZERO control....means they will fall back into those behavior...and I unsubscribed...it is a MENTAL DISORDER....it's not as easy as just cleaning up the house.....it's a type of OCD....OBSESSIVE HAORDING, COMPULSIVE COLLECTING, AND FEELING LIKE YOU HAVE NOTHING WITHOUT IT.....they aren't hoarding because they want to.....they do it as a form of control during trauma...they often feel EXTREME shame and disgust in themselves for the behavior.....but they can't JUST CLEAN.....ITS A MENTAL DISORDER.....they need a whole team of therapy available, and EXTENSIVE support systems....it is not easy to just clean

I subscribed today, and unsubscribed today....I don't support that behavior and I don't think he has a right to discuss that topic without proper research and understanding that it isn't just being a messy person....he clearly did not take time to understand that these people have mental disorders causing the hoard....and they don't just do it because they want to but they feel like they HAVE TO.....and he did NOT do that research and instead chose to degrade and bully those people who have sever mental disorders instead of having empathy and understanding that they are already shameful of the hoard and they didn't want it to get as bad as it did.....Nikko Ortiz....do better....you have been doing this long enough to understand how important mental health is....and yet you blatantly didn't do your research....yet you will do research on police video, firefighter video, and military content, stick to the shit you care about....because clearly its not mental health and respecting those who need help and being empathetic to them

AUTISM AND FOOD FIXATIONS BUT NOT LIKING THE FOOD NORMALLY

I recently have run into a food fixation of pepperoni sandwiches, im American so don't think that actually means a good meal...it's processed red meat that I don't even know what animal it's from, on Walmart brand white bread with miracle white spread...I don't like pepperoni though, but I fixated on it and will eat it....even though I don't enjoy it. It's hard though, because my family, although my older brother who is 30(12 years older than me and diagnosed at 2 years old) is also autistic, he will eat anything that is offered because he doesn't want to make someone sad for making him food. Whereas I don't understand how that makes someone sad so I will directly say "I don't like pepperoni", or even recently my middle brother(neurotypical) made Shepard pue for dinner, which contained peas and cubed carrots, both of which I dislike and I said "oh I'll have a sandwich, I don't like those veggies, thanks for cooking though.", he still went "REALLY!?", even though I thanked him.....with pepperoni, I only like it on sandwiches, I don't like it any other way, so if it's an ingredient, I most likely won't eat that meal....and it makes my family upset because I enjoy it on sandwiches but not other things, they don't understand that.
