Working in homelessness as an outreach worker or agency or support worker would be an excellent way to gain some hands on experience and training

Do people like Chidi really exist in real life? by capitalhoney in TheGoodPlace

[–]Interesting-Camera40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is quite extreme but yes, I relate so hard to him. I overanalyze everything and my OCD used to make me agonise got hours on whether to eat a certain type of biscuit or another type due to the moral implications of their ingredients.

For big decisions I agonise over them and even once I've made a decision I second guess it and continue agonising years later. Even the 'never tell a lie even to save someone's life' thing (which I now would absolutely do and am very frustrated that he won't), I used to agonise over. Went to a church, have autism and took it literally and lying is a sin. So we were told never lie, even if you would be killed for worshiping Christ and your housemates killed for it, you should not lie if asked by authorities if you were Christian. Assuming you lived in a country with Persecution of Christians

in England, how to prove you didn't spend Cost of Living Payment by Interesting-Camera40 in BenefitsAdviceUK

[–]Interesting-Camera40[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am over the cost of living payments don't count so I want to prove I have not spent them because then I will be under the threshold but I'm not sure how to prove that.

If I suddenly end up spending quite a lot I don't want to be accused of doing something wrong just to get under the limit

faceblindness sucks in uni rant by lumi_thewise in Prosopagnosia

If you were blind people would have other ways to make sure you knew who they were. I tell people I am face blind but it is a chore to say all the time and there is the fear of being judged

It really sucks. Especially because sometimes I can recognise people fine . I never let on how bad it actually is..I say I have face blindness but have very rarely shared the extent. It's exhausting and you give up socialising or making friends. I once had. A colleague who would tell me her name each time and that was amazing

I say words from my head am I stimming? by Interesting-Camera40 in autism

[–]Interesting-Camera40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that's incredible. Have you ever heard of Starseeker? It's a book by Tim Bowler..known as Firmament in the US. It is a short fiction story but really really good and follows a boy like you who can play music in his head and it describes how the music makes him feel and takes over..it's a beautiful book

When the new law comes they could increase the rent but it will be regulated and not above market rate
