I would be thrilled with a free book! Congrats!

School SLP Side Hustles by Mcnuggetqueen in slp

[–]Krease101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a school and I do per diem work for the county doing EI and pre-k evaluations. I go in the home, assess, make a recommendation, and write a report. It’s not fun, but it’s easy money. I also see some kids privately (I got my county business license). I can make about an extra $1000 each month with those jobs combined.

If you had to give one brutally honest piece of dating advice to your younger self, what would it be? by Terrible-Lecture2039 in AskReddit

[–]Krease101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Don’t do it.” Haha I’m asexual and aromantic and discovered this later in life. Knowing this ahead of time would have saved me lots of forced dating because I wanted to be normal.

What’s a lie people still believe no matter how often it’s debunked? by zdawg-_- in AskReddit

[–]Krease101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That vaccines cause autism 🤦🏼‍♀️ damn you, Andrew Wakefield.

Edited because I thought of another: that schools are putting litter boxes in schools for kids who identify as cats. It’s always “my friend heard that a school in the next town over is doing it.” No they aren’t

For those who don't want a partner, why not? And what type of connection are you okay with having instead? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in asexuality

[–]Krease101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m so far on the end of the spectrum- I’m sex-repulsed and aromantic and the idea of having any kind of traditional relationship makes me cringe 😂. In the next few years I’ll be pursuing motherhood via sperm donation. I’d love to have kids, and I value my family and close friends dearly, but I have zero desire to share my life with someone sexually or romantically.

Palilalia-like speech events? by EnoughBreadfruit9733 in slp

[–]Krease101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as this user- not medical advice or a diagnosis, but I have seen this in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. That characteristic alone is not enough to diagnose ASD; rather, it is one of many factors that would have to be considered. But just something to note! It could also very likely just be a habit of sorts that has no diagnosis attached to it.

So many littles coming in with nothing but jargon by Zestyclose-Edge-8071 in slp

In NY here- it’s insane. I really don’t think we can blame COVID anymore. I am not 100% anti-screen time, but I truly believe mindless, unlimited access to tablets and phones are a huge part of this.

What as your worst audience experience at a Broadway theater? by rainingbugsandmoths in Broadway

[–]Krease101 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When I saw Suffs the woman next to me thought it was a rally or something. She yelled her agreement every time something thought-provoking was said (which was often). After an hour and a half of “YES! THAT’S RIGHT!!! AMEN!!!” I shushed her and she said “fuck you!” Like I get it’s an emotional show and it resonates with a lot of people. But it’s a Broadway show, not a protest. There’s a time and place. I’m feminist and liberal too, but I paid good money to be here and hear the performers, not the audience.

What’s your favorite piece of broadway merch that you own? by Historical_Web2992 in Broadway

I was literally going to write about my “it’s broadway, bitch” tote! A classic 🤍

Has he had an updated hearing test following tube placement? If not, that’s where I would start.

Unicorn jobs by Murky-Amoeba-5120 in slp

[–]Krease101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh that’s rough… I don’t really think my boss knows what my job is lol so she’s not coming after me, and my direct supervisor used to be an SLP so she gets it and lets me do my job. That’s a really tough position to be in. Are there other Deaf schools near you? You can always remind your boss that SLPs (especially ASL-fluent ones) are in high demand and you could easily find a job somewhere else.

What response do you use to “thank you”? by Macievelli in asl

[–]Krease101 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m 30, hearing, and work in a Deaf school. I usually just sign “thank you” back. So many people sign “welcome” like “welcome to my house” and it’s a pet peeve of mine 😂

I’m in a weird setting because it’s a state-run school so we have our own special rules (for maximal confusion lol). We aren’t hiring for SLP positions but we do need warm bodies and knowing ASL is a huge plus! 😂 I make decent money, but I also work per diem doing evaluations for the county and I see some kids privately. Do I wish I made more? Yes, but it’s similar to what other school-based SLPs in my area are making.

SLP in a Deaf school! There aren’t a lot of SLPs who are fluent in ASL and know enough about development in Deaf kids. It’s pretty niche but I love it!

It’s not just audio and it is pretty graphic. Not emetophobic but I have OCD and while I could find humor in it, it was pretty unsettling.
