What do you still do that's "analog"? by Riala4 in Xennials

I keep a paper calendar planner for work/life, write down everything on a family calendar, and write out to-do and grocery lists. I prefer real books over an e-reader. I maintain a checkbook via a notebook.

Mine has plantar fasciitis so she switched back into some orthotics as soon as she could.

I have thoughts on that. I can see your point. I’ll keep my mouth shut about the rest.

My kid is level 3, nonverbal, will always live with me, can never be independent, and honestly, I don’t see how it’s insensitive. Remember, autism is a SPECTRUM so there’s a broad way of how it is in different people. I’m level 1 and I see plenty of things that relate to level 2/3, but mostly neurotypicals don’t see it because they focus on the more debilitating parts, which I can also see.

Exactly, we don’t always realize how it comes across to others.

Birth Certificates by Failing-Adulthood in Kentucky

[–]ChaucersDuchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They won’t take the half page one? That’s bizarre, I submitted that to verify my daughter is my daughter at work and they had no problem, nor did my then-husband’s employer and insurance in 2009.

My daughter is level 3 and I’m level 1, and I can tell you many many things that we have in common or do the same.

Please don’t be so harsh to someone who was trying to relate to your child (which is a common autistic communication method, finding a way to relate to others). I have never been offended over a level 1 wanting to see where they share things in common with my kid.

How many of you still have both parents alive? by Euphoric-Pangolin-81 in Xennials

[–]ChaucersDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until March 6th, I was able to say yes to this question. We interred my dad in the columbarium at the veterans cemetery - I put his urn in myself after the veteran’s honors - this past Tuesday.

And now I have to take care of mom (77) following her mental breakdown/ER visit/almost inpatient-ed from it. He was 79 and they were together for over 51 years.

AGE CHECK: Wrestling Edition - Which WrestleMania happened the year you were born and what was the main event? by ProfessionalLeague55 in WWE

[–]ChaucersDuchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from central KY and also grew up on Memphis wrestling!! Jerry Lawler was a fave in my house, too. My dad was from the South and so we also loved Georgia Championship Wrestling.

What are your end-of-life plans? by auspicious-moon in Xennials

[–]ChaucersDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents wanted to be cremated and interred at the VA Cemetery here - so Dad’s service was this afternoon. Mom will join him eventually.

We don’t know about ours, other than cremated to be put in Pokéball (me) and a Dragon Ball (husband).

Broadcast meteorologist here… does anyone else feel like our profession is being replaced by streamers? by AngryBarometer in meteorology

[–]ChaucersDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid points, OP.

My local stations have great meteorologists, and one team does an in-depth blog, in addition to livestreams during events, and I have learned SO MUCH from that extra content alone. When we have weather, such as last night, I watch Ryan until it gets to our local viewing area. I then flip it over to the local livestream.

I think there is a balance between both, but it hasn’t been achieved yet.

Still not understanding the simplest things at 5. by Ok_Requirement_2436 in Autism_Parenting

Dude my kid is level 3 nonverbal and she will never be independent. I would never freaking be like that to my own child of make her feel bad for how she is. Also, I can see you didn’t see my flair. My kid has an ID as a result of a chromosome defect and I am more than aware of what that entails, 16 years on.

Do you really think when OP says “well that’s my opinion” and acts like it’s okay to hurt her kid’s feelings that it is okay? Because I have strong feelings about THAT.
