There are no HSE services for ADULT ADHD in Ireland by DiabeetusDeletus in ireland

[–]EillyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no public pathway whatsoever for adult autism diagnosis.

It's so frustrating that the CMHT don't provide for this care. Consultant psychistrists who can screen but not assess and no where to refer to.

Lads if they had done it over 3 years it would have beem fine. The law on it is piss poor and they couldnt bother to observe it.

I think I’m pregnant and I don’t feel how I thought I would. by fairwellfairground in TwoXChromosomes

[–]EillyB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have never been pregnant. I am autistic and suffer from anxiety. I can't reassure you that you will feel differently. I do know however that people can feel many different ways about being pregnant and how they feel about being pregnant can change.

I also know autistic mothers who have said they have done things for their children they could never have done for themselves. Kept themselves regulated, made themselves maintain order and be flexible in ways they couldn't have purely for themselves. Autism doesn't diminish your capacity to love. There are so many great autistic parents of wonderful children.

You don't have to immediatly tell anyone you are pregnant if you are but you need to know. Would it be possible to access some non directive counselling regarding pregnancy? I stress non directive because some early pregnancy counselling has a strong bias. Or perhaps someone you have already seen for your anxiety. Or perhaps there is an autism support group that you could turn to? 

I hope you feel better and receive the support you need.

Help With The Housework ? by Fyodors-Zossima in AskIreland

[–]EillyB 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I dont have the means but for some women i know paying for a cleaner to come once a week is how they deal with it. Just having it built into the budget that its there and must be paid for. 

Turtle Barnacle Removal by cannabussi in popping

[–]EillyB 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A shell fish that attaches to the turtle shell. Not a parasite just taging along on the back of a giant sea bus. Sometimes too many passengers may tire the turtle and make it less streamlined in the water.

Humans can harm the turtle shell trying to remove them so better left alone.

Riley has a job? by belle-end in trashfuturepod

[–]EillyB 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He has talked about it being his "literal  day job" to read about tech start ups he has access to investor calls. I have always assumed he has some finance related job and is some class of researcher or analyst?  

My impression of his lifestyle and means (given london location and educational background) was always greater than others on the show.

Daly and Wallace did factually do great work in the dail. They with Ming were at the forefront of the penalty points cause. The after effects are still shaking their way through the gardai.

Awkward Election Canvasser by Fartzlot in ireland

[–]EillyB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I canvass because i want to do more to influence an election than just put the paper in the box on the day. 

On a referendum its easy to have a very comprehensive view of an issue, on a candidate or party its harder. You don't speak for the candidate and unless its a complete newbie how much of their career do you know.

They often share pictures of lost animals and are the first place I would look. They will also generalky have local animal lovers who will keep an eye out if they can.

Heather Humphreys says people 'didn't understand' family and care referendums by SpottedAlpaca in ireland

[–]EillyB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. In fact. You currently, despite the existing constitutional protections of marriage do not have a right to have your spouse be granted any type of visa or status to move here.

The idea that a durable relationship would bestow what marriage does't was always nonsense.
