    Thoughts on grocery stores? (I have a grocery store special interest)

    there is a save a lot a couple towns over from me and I have been curious (I like discount grocery stores) but alas I can't drive so I can only go where the bus goes. I like aldi but I often won't go out of my way to go there. the vibes are just slightly off like an alien was given a very...

    Thoughts on grocery stores? (I have a grocery store special interest)

    I have also considered overnight stocking due to that and also because I have awful insomnia at times and I end up naturally sleeping during the day anyway. I think it would be a bit tough on my body though due to some other issues. my love for grocery stores has instilled a love for cashiering...

    Thoughts on grocery stores? (I have a grocery store special interest)

    thank you for the pictures! they made me feel very happy. I have not been to a meijer since I was a child. once dominick's closed we started going to other stores because if I remember correctly the meijer was a bit out of the way but it was close to the dominick's so it made sense. now my...

    Thoughts on grocery stores? (I have a grocery store special interest)

    grocery stores at night are very good. the parking lots are so empty and peaceful. just you and the streetlights. maybe you can go to parking lots at night and take some pictures? I take lots of pictures of interesting products I find at grocery stores.

    POTS and Orthostatic Hypotension

    hello! I also have the trifecta (pots,asd,eds) mine started when I was 14 and I still am disabled by it (most days I can only stand upright and still for about 5 minutes before I need to sit down. 10 minutes on a good day) but a low dose beta blocker and electrolytes help a lot. I can't stand...

    Thoughts on grocery stores? (I have a grocery store special interest)

    I really want to go to a grocery outlet but there aren't any near me sadly. it's on my grocery store bucket list along with a restaurant supply store and Jungle Jims in OH.

    Thoughts on grocery stores? (I have a grocery store special interest)

    I have a special interest in grocery stores. I have a tab for my local grocery store's website open at most times. I like to make lists and plan out the week. I watch grocery hauls and then I like to watch what those same channels do with the food via lunch packing or meal prep videos. I read...

    "Autistic" or "Person with Autism"?

    I don't care honestly. I can tell if somebody is more or less knowledgeable about the community based on the words they use but the only terms I don't like are the euphemistic ones like "on the spectrum". There are many spectrums - I am on the autism spectrum. Also I prefer that other people not...

    I got a concussion and sprained my neck this morning. DCD is annoying sometimes. They gave me a muscle relaxant at the hospital and I can't think well right now so I am not a fan.

    How to Survive Amusement Park

    the group home program was like that mostly. It was also quite the hostile environment at times. I feel so lucky to have access to the place I am now and I have made tons of progress I otherwise would not have made. It is one of my life goals now to improve access to these programs and also just...

    How to Survive Amusement Park

    I am also unsure how much control I will end up having/am even comfortable having but my hope is that some people will also be tired and I can at least follow them around. The standing in line bit is not fun but the main concern I have is actually fainting as I have a disorder that causes...

    How to Survive Amusement Park

    I am going to attempt to take a fanny pack/bum bag with me to make sure I don't lose anything. Thank you for the shoe advice I will wear the most comfortable pair I own.

    How to Survive Amusement Park

    How to Survive Amusement Park

    I like to rock so I am hoping to go on some rides that rock and I may even try a roller coaster. I am most concerned about the lines and the noise. Restaurants can be too much so more people in a small space is almost impossible.

    How to Survive Amusement Park

    I will be attending an amusement park with my transition program in a couple months and I am quite anxious about it. I have never been to an amusement park of any kind as my family is not amusement park people (though that may be mostly because of me) I have,however, been to renaissance fairs...
