    I finally made the jump from reddit to Lemmy. While it was slightly confusing for my technologically dyslexic ass I’m happy to be here.

      Hi frenchys 👋 please be sure to stop by chef Bacon’s food truck whenever it rolls around, typically once a day whenever chef feels like it. Food quality is good but the variety is where it’s at - free too

      Welcome! There is definitely a bit to learn about how everything works, but I think it’s worth the effort.

    Trigger warning: ASD, ADHD

    So a couple of weeks ago I had a phone chat with my oldest sister, someone I’ve always admired and think is pretty awesome. When I was a kid she was my idol, so artistic and clever, rebellious and political. She told me about her recent autism and ADHD diagnosis (I was pretty surprised). She knows our father’s side of the family better than I do, and pointed out a pretty strong case for ASDs running on dad’s side of the family. We ended up talking for over 4 hours. Some of the things she said seemed oddly familiar, in a way that played on my mind up until last night, when I did an online Autism Spectrum Quotient self assessment and landed right in the mid zone for Asperger’s. Some of the questions were almost creepy in a "how did they know?" kind of way. I told the kids and Elder asked if they (the kids) had ever been assessed. I had to admit no, they hadn’t, because nobody has ever suggested it. If your kids are well behaved and do the right things when required without meltdowns and ostentatious or eccentric behaviour then they generally won’t suggest it. Now I’m thinking about it for Elder, because from what I’ve been reading he and I have a lot of parallels with it. My sister welcomed her diagnosis and said it felt like, for most of her life, she’d been operating a complex piece of equipment without a manual and then was finally given one. If he doesn’t have an ASD, fine; but if he does then this knowledge may help him in his further development and understanding of himself, and assist his school with modes of delivery for his education. I figure if it’s a good idea (given the revelations about my family) then better sooner rather than later to be of most use to him. Otherwise I’m feeling a bit weird about the whole thing, like you’re feeling like there’s going to be a knock at the door and then there is.

      It is super common for women and girls to not receive a diagnosis and be left to struggle

      source
    • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      There are a ton of resources at www.reddit.com/r/aspergirls/wiki That you might find varying degrees of useful. I had my “holy shit!” Moment after 40 and so much stuff just made more sense

      • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Mine was when my kid was diagnosed as a teenager so I did a heap of research, including on how it presents differently in girls. It was like, ohhhh, that explains a lot!

    I had a dream I was working as a mechanic in a factory and I lived upstairs. I could make music 24/7 without any issues.

    It was a nice life.

      I enjoyed physical work in my 20’s. If I did it now, I’d spend the whole weekend recovering my broken body.

      It was fun though.

      I had a dream where 2 friends were gonna do the deed but I crashed the party and we all sat there awkwardly playing uno whilst she stared daggers at me. What was weird about it (as if that WASNT weird in the first place) was they are 2 friends I dont walk to any more. Hope they are both doing well.

    Just had my fourth root canal and a really aggressive treatment to hopefully make up for my compromised immune system.

    Fingers crossed that it works because the next stop is evicting the tooth.

    They underpaid me $1k. We have this thing where you can access upto $1k of your pay early.

    I didn’t use it. And I don’t have an account with the details indicated.

    Fucks sake.

    Sorry for my negativity today

    source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      but it’s still your pay, you worked for it?

      source
      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Absolutely. They’ve basically deducted it, despite the fact that I never withdrew it in advance.

        source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      All deductions and details should show up on your pay slip.

      Does it show number of hours you’ve been paid for on your payslip?

      In any case something on your payslip should show the difference from last payslip.

      Don’t let them get away with it!

    My little dog has hurt himself. I let him out for a piss this morning and he came in limping. It doesn’t help that he leaps off the porch like a superhero. He seems to be getting better but I’m still keeping an eye on him.

        Honestly he wouldn’t use them. There’s one step there but he chooses not to use it unless he’s coming inside.

    Woke up to the dishwasher stuck on 37mins to finish. I didn’t put it on and it was on a mode I never put it on, and it was empty… and there’s no one else in the house…

    Spooky.

    TIL you get a small bag of corn chips like Doritos or whatever, smoosh it up a bit, open it and put your taco meat in and the rest. It’s called a “walking taco”

    I’m sure it’s tasty but I don’t like the idea of eating hot meat out of a chip bag.

    So you know how in films to portray a character holding back their emotions, the character will clench their fist so hard it bleeds?

    I never understood that. I have always bit my nails, often leaving a good amount of skin between the nail end and the top of my fingers.

    Well, I’ve grown my nails out and yeah, I get it now. I just yawned and stretched and clenched my fists, and it hurt!
