Simply put, my family is broke until May due to two unexpected bills. We have no food & no car, so it's hard to get anything here to begin with.
I'm trying to get $40 so we can eat tonight. Thank you for reading, hope you're doing well. 💞

Help! Is there anyone who can explain to me what the cultural significance of the phrase "Carl seinem Gretchen" might be in Vienna in about 1870? I understand what the words mean, but there’s some cultural reference I’m missing, I think.

For example, 45-50 min sessions are definitely not enough for my ND clients.. it's difficult 😕 it means slower paced processing which in our profit based system means more expensive for them... but they know I understand the way giving All the context and exploring All the possibilities and finding All the words for their feelings can be what is therapeutic for them. To have a witness to their way of existing ✨️🥰✨️
Training lunch break & watching vids as a brain palate cleanser of sorts. I found this fascinating. Such parenting supports weren't available 20 yrs ago. It's wonderful to see #autism#parenting#pda communities offering validation, support & education. This video reminded me of a time I visited my sister when my niece was a baby. She couldn't stop playing w/a toy that was frustrating her, she cried every time she hit it but kept doing it. #cognitivepsychology https://youtu.be/1ozg_e2XHvI?si=c_CebRLvpPZMvjOr
My doctor wasn't interested in giving me an #autism diagnosis.
I've had him for 10 years, have only seen him for 3-4 appointments during this time, and In our 45 seconds discussing autism, he stated, after literallylooking me up and down, "I don't see it."
Well, you wouldn't. I do eye contact for important short meetings like doctors and lawyers, I am a chameleon and can dress myself for any role, including, "older dude going to doctors office" and I can read, write and speak fairly eloquently, so in these meetings, what would he even be "seeing"?? 🤔
I'm assuming that some people shop for diagnosis for long term disability or other reasons, but I just wanted to know if I suck at Being Normal for any particular reason besides I Suck at Life, which I'm ... oh, whatever. There is no easy path for a second opinion, so I guess it dies here.
Apparently not #actuallyAutistic after all, and as I don't see any other path to diagnosis, I should probably shut the f about it
@Tim_McTuffty@BernieDoesIt@actuallyautistic apologies for the late reply but this is totally relatable, and I'm glad you got assessed. I am probably going to do a serious set of self exams, and maybe see if there is any path to seeing a more qualified professional here (as with many places, the medical profession here is still stressed by echos of the covid crisis, and there are doctor shortages and waits for certain specialties.)
@hooves@BernieDoesIt@actuallyautistic I got lucky, the NHS has a horrendous waiting list , but there is a little know bit of legislation that allowed me to use a private provider (after much soul searching) & it was done & dusted within 6 months.
I wish you luck with your journey mon ami, if you check out #TimsASDjourney there maybe some vaguely useful nuggets of info buried in the dross of my daily ramblings about ASD & life in general.
Heute steht Faschist Höcke vor Gericht, weil er eine verbotene Nazi-Parole benutzt hat. Wir haben 50 Reden analysiert: Höcke wird anscheinend auffällig oft von Reden von Nazis wie Hitler, Goebbels & Co inspiriert. https://www.volksverpetzer.de/analyse/hitler-steckt-in-hoecke/
@criitz@worldnews I'm gonna start by debunking the myth that Israel is invulnerable because they have nuclear weapons. Since they have so many conventional precision weapons pointed at Israel, without nuclear weapons Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran are still able to take out strategic targets: missile launchers, AA weapons, radar, runways, facilities in important bases, etc. In addition to this, they can use the strategy even against protected locations like these powerplants striking them with barrages that first use a bunch of cheap projectiles like drones to break the air defense then get a bunch of conventional strikes through depriving Israel of electricity. They can also do this to other facilities like water treatment, forcing military logistics to shift to providing food and water for civilians. note that none of this has the domestic and international consequences of using nuclear weapons. Now something to know about Israel is that they're not able to do without these amenities and they require extremely high morale to be willing to fight since they live in a giant strip mall.
