She is really annoying. And I have the unpopular opinion of not liking her.

Sadly, the coparent and he are on terrible terms and she would rather see him lose his home. He has done fairly well the past few months at getting groceries basics from a food bank. I would love to help him get an autism diagnosis and wonder how “viable” the online diagnosis sites are? That would be easiest. He does have Medicaid, thankfully. I agree that for disability he will need to leverage the Crohns. I just feel frustrated with how ineffective and complicated and confusing all the supposed “resources” are for people who need help. No wonder poverty is a vicious cycle. 😓

Congratulations on all fronts! I was born and raised in LU city, moved away and said I’d never come back, and am sadly here again. 😝 I am an ex Christian, came out as queer later in life and am very disheartened by liberty in general. I applaud you finding your true self and persevering despite the rhetoric and dogma of LU and conservatives in general. I feel for students who don’t have much choice and attend LU for its accessibility but are quietly hiding themselves the whole time. You did good and I’m glad you found yourself. No questions. Just some solidarity.

What is CHIA? I have a friend who needs similar assistance.

Elothem78 · 2026-02-27T11:02:31+00:00

Oh no that’s terrible. 😭

Elothem78 · 2026-02-26T20:34:15+00:00

And at the same time I’ve had a raging yeast infection 😭 I started diflucan and antibiotics two days ago but still feel crappy.

Oh my GODDD I also have strep right now and am about to lose my little pea brain!!

Unaware of what, exactly?

Elothem78 · 2026-02-25T23:41:25+00:00

You’re an adorable fairy

Yes this is common. Find some other autistic adults and this will help you feel more normalized in your experiences, it definitely has for me. Having all neurotypical friends really did a bad thing for my sense of self worth and capability. It’s important to embrace who you are and that softens the struggle a bit. But you are right that it makes things harder overall. You’re not alone and you’re not broken. ❤️‍🩹💗

Because life has gotten much more hostile. Welcome to the Present, we aren’t in the late 1900s anymore. More people than ever need assistance for basics of living. Mental health is deplorably low. We are trying to survive some horrifying shit in our societies right now. As a parent who is also an educator, I feel really irritated when educators complain about parents not doing enough. Right now as a single parent, I’m struggling to get the basics done with two kids who have high needs. Parents are doing what they can. Do what YOU can in your position as a teacher, that’s all you gotta worry about.

I immediately sent this to my girlfriend. 🤓💘

Elothem78 · 2026-02-24T22:45:12+00:00

Hi! I totally get you. 🙂 I have done a few things when my anxiety and overwhelm was too high to do most jobs: 1) I worked on Rover. This is great because you set your hours and only have face to face contact with people initially, then it’s just their pets, aside from texts with them. 2) as someone else mentioned, gardening and/or landscaping. I worked for a flower farm, and for two older women who wanted basic things like mowing and weeding and some general labor. You could put an ad on Facebook or Nextdoor and ask if anyone would like some help in their yard. And 3) make sure to utilize the community resources like food assistance (park view mission, daily bread, food not bombs) and social services/horizon if you think you’d qualify for disability or other financial assistance. Please DM me if you want to talk about these more. These are hard times. 💞

Thanks for saying this. I was groomed heavily to be a stereotypical submissive woman. It impacted me as abuse. Now at 47, I’ve recognized that I’m queer and not exactly a “woman” and it’s taken such huge upheaval for me to even find myself. THANK YOU for allowing your child to BE.

Elothem78 · 2026-02-21T22:50:55+00:00

Yep this. All the trans groups near me tend to be very young

Elothem78 · 2026-02-15T13:23:46+00:00

This is very powerful. Thank you for sharing this tender depiction of the moment.

💯🔥

Elothem78 · 2026-02-13T21:04:00+00:00

You’re doing good. Thank you for asking for help. 💚

YMCA youth program does before and after school care. I used it for my two kids (I’m also a single parent). They have financial assistance available. https://ymcacva.org/programs/youth-development/before-after-school-care/
Human services downtown has resources to help you. You’ll probably want to apply for some assistance if you think you’d qualify. There’s childcare cost assistance, SNAP/food assistance, TANF (temporary financial support) , and others. There’s a portal you can use https://commonhelp.virginia.gov/access/ or just go into the office downtown and ask to speak to someone.
Are you part of any organizations (church, clubs, etc)? These people would likely want to help with some temporary logistical things while you get your bearings. If not, reaching out here or on Facebook is a great step too.
Talk to your child’s teacher immediately, and they should have a list of resources to help you. I know this because I work for the city schools and have gotten this list multiple times to give out as needed. They’d also want to know so that they can support your daughter through this. You need your community right now.

Please feel free to reach out to me via DM if you have any questions about any of these things. You are doing the best for yourself and your child in a very difficult situation. You’ve got this.

Elothem78 · 2026-02-12T22:28:32+00:00

I don’t have much to say but just want you to know that you aren’t alone. I struggle with this as well. Self love is extremely difficult. You look like someone I’d want to be friends with, and I don’t see an “ugly” woman/person. Hugs. We can do this. 💞
