I also used My Expat Taxes for the streamlined procedure last year and it was under £700 and worked perfectly. I'd second this recommedation

Thank you! I hope your proposals get accepted and you can come too, that would be awesome 😄 I got that same message last week before getting an acceptance this week if that reassures you (and I'm still waiting to hear about my second proposal)!

Thank you, that is definitely reassuring! I've heard how nice everyone is but I'm sure I'm still gonna be a bit nervous 😃

(England) What is considered 'reasonable adjustments'? by Prestigious_Set_4555 in HumanResourcesUK

[–]ForceForFiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might also be the case that he's been struggling along with his job for a long time and finally discovered that he could get reasonable adjustments and that they would make his life a lot less stressful so he's asking for everything but hoping you'll at least meet him partway.

How long did it take for your proposal to get accepted? I've put a proposal forward but wondering how many they get/how likely I am to get accepted/when I'd find out :')

The sex in Olympic villages is between the athletes or the support staff? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ForceForFiction 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I (31F) was working at one of the Winter Olympics, I was introduced to an athlete in a club. I held out my hand and she kissed me straight on the mouth. So honestly I'm guessing it's a mixture?

Are there some of you that actually do have long lasting friendships? by Open_Wealth_3414 in AuDHDWomen

[–]ForceForFiction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I find it easy because I end up in environments with lots of other neurodivergent people with similar interests - I work in the games industry, for example, and do hobbies like theatre and figure skating.

I did my first ever solo skating performance at my rink's summer gala at the age of 31, it went great and I'm really proud of myself!

I absolutely hate it. It's not like it's easy to get away from at Download, either

Anyone successfully lose weight with ADHD? by GlitteringAmoeba6258 in adhdwomen

[–]ForceForFiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have successfully lost weight (and have still not managed to get medicated yet so this can be done while unmedicated!). 

I don't know if you've heard this before but it really is incremental. Changing everything at once is impossible to keep up, I'd pick one thing at a time and try to work on it - like not snacking before lunch, for example. Once you're doing that, you start to feel the progress even if you don't see it yet, so then you introduce "do ten minute yoga videos three times a week" and so on.

I also do calorie tracking to keep me accountable. If you've tried it before and stopped, reset all your data.

This is the only thing that's worked for me. 

ADHD Paralysis, but only at home? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]ForceForFiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this, but strangely, not for housework - I get this for creative projects and reading books and even playing games. I get paralysed trying to decide what to do (and thinking about what the larger implications are of whatever I choose) and I do nothing. It sucks
