yah its Autism Spectrum Disorder, soz that i DSM-V it up at times ahahaha. you'd think they'd pick it up at school but as usual unless you go to a school that has its act together (becoming less and less these days now that they're sucking all the money out of schools too) you really have to either Act Out or Be Lucky and thats if you dont get suspended/expelled for bad behaviour or get one arsehole psych/doc who keeps vetoing an assessment for dumb reasons. or when the "casual individual autism test thing" rolls around they will do it in the class cos they dont want fail rates and you will be like me, overhear the other kids having it from the other end of the room and know the 'correct' neurotypical answers to give lmaoSpoiler: small diatribe about why its a bit hit n miss showits hellishly hit and miss it seems (much like gender services seem to be across the uk, sigh, like most things that arent erectile dysfunction and fat men treatments) im still learning myself so pinch of salt ofc, but staunch and old fashioned psychs and the ~~~~""""""official"""""~~~~ guidelines will have you believe that if they dont pick up on it by age 3 then you're neurotypical as all hell and if you present as autistic later on then you're just "acting up". a bunch of Assessment stuff is around "childhood milestones" (certain developmental things as ur growing up) but kinda misses the plot on the more subtle adolescent ones. additionally mimicry is an autism skill that some pick up as a coping skill and you mimic enough social skills to kinda "pass" as a neurotypical for so long and can maybe hold your own in like, a quick casual conversation in a shop, but anything other than that socially at work or in a social life is a nightmare. so you end up with this weird Hidden Autism which dont get picked up on as quick. in the USA all kids are tested for autism by default whereas in the uk its up to the parents themselves to "raise the alarm" so to speak. theres no real automatic test. so if your parents dont even know what ASD is or maybe if they want to pretend it doesn't exist and they want a "Normal" kid instead (dont look into the Defeat Autism Now! protocol or ABA or anything like that for the love of god) ..........you can see what im gettin at here. its rly easy for this to slip under the radar.
anyway rant aside and i dont know how any of whoever helps u most w/ this stuff would see it (prolly ur mum?) maybe ask ppl u know well about it etc etc and Have A Think and then go maybe see ur GPs about it if you decide maybe you might be on the spectrum somewhere and about accessing possible Assessment. i mean you may know in yourself whether you are possibly Spectrum or not and whether you want to persue it a little bit? i am just a lowly idiot on a forum but from what ive seen and with the other common stuff that comes with it (all that stuff we blabbed on about in previous effortposts) i would suspect it a little at least. i mean literally no-one into pokemon isn't on the spectrum somehow (inentional double negative) anyway soi tried the Get An Assessment thing myself but they will only assess you for support as an adult which i didn't need at the time (had a job and was in uni and by all means was doing ok except now not so much) so i may have trip reports myself in time to come lmao
These new £1 coins aren't very aesthetic. I'm happy that they've got the leek on there and all but they're essentially that kid who ran with their arms behind their back but as a coin when compared to the old £1 coins.
rly?? the old ones are garbage can lids in comparison. so boring. so round like most of the other coins.
Long distance relationship hell is real. My S/O moved to California so I end up staying up even later to talk to them, and last night they ended up crying because, partly because we're so far apart and partly for other reasons, and all I could do was sit there, in my room, trying me best to comfort them without breaking into tears myself. I just wanted to be there with them so badly.
DONT LET THE PEOPLE ON STAGE LEFT KNOW THE SCRIPT
I keep screwing up on pronouns /all/ of the time. Like, not in a using the wrong one because assuming gender or whatever, literally I just become incompetent when telling stories and will refer to guys as she and stuff and I don't understand why, like it should not be a difficult concept lmao. Gets even worse if its a story about a guy and a girl and I start switching them round which /completely/ changes the meaning of the story. I literally need to start using "ze" for everyone or something -_-
TBH california is also where your pocketbook and any conservative ideas you had (if you had any) goes to die. Plus, be prepared for wildfires unless you live somewhere like LA, Glendale, San Diego, San Fran, etc.
