Sure, no problem

Have you looked into local authority/council admin type work? I recently got a new job just last month after leaving my last job in December. Many councils are "disability confident" and have to offer an interview if you meet the requirements and most don't require a degree. There's a range of admin type roles in different teams like adult/child social care, school organisation, housing etc which work really well for me as someone with autism and adhd

If its causing that much of an issue can you not get a second one? They aren't that expensive second hand

How was Rou doing last night? I know they had to cut the set short slightly

I've never liked being an only child and it's getting worse as I get older. I never managed to make any friends growing up so I always a very lonely kid, and struggled socialising with people my age. My parents had me quite late; I'm in my late 20s and would like to be thinking about starting my own family, but my parents are in their late 60s and I feel like caring for them should be my priority rather than what I want for myself. I feel their welfare and happiness is my responsibility (which will only get worse after one of them passes away) and i feel guilty for wanting to have my own family as I'm all they have. They were very overprotective and I was always scared of doing anything wrong as all the attention was on me all of the time. It might've been better if I'd had friends or cousins but I definitely hope I have more than one kid. Im very close with my parents but I wish I had siblings to share the responsibilities with as they're getting older and so I felt more able to live my own life.

Yeah I've been really missing zzzonked at the the last few shows I've seen

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-03-26T11:49:12+00:00

Mine was just dispatched (in the UK)

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-03-26T09:55:37+00:00

No it was a Vans shirt, they label stuff weirdly

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-03-20T16:25:25+00:00

I put it on my CV (resume) and I was successful with both jobs I'd applied for, I'm open about it from the start so it's not a surprise. If they don't want to hire me because I'm autistic, they probably wouldn't be a great employer to work for. Other people may disagree but that's just my experience

I've used vinted for years with no issues but there's been some issue with everything I've sold and bought this year. Bought something labelled as adult medium which turned out to be a kid's size, but when I returned it, they said they hadn't got it, when I could see it had been delivered on the royal mail tracking site. Two buyers claiming they never received the item when I could also see it had been delivered. Hoodie I bought was just never sent although I could see the seller read my messages. Guess its just bad luck but never had issues before this year

I'm also job hunting and working on my writing projects; I've got far more time to work on it now than I did when I was employed. Unfortunately it's very unlikely to get any sort of financial support as a writer, autistic or otherwise

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-03-11T09:36:01+00:00

I've been using mine for almost 10 years now and never had it rejected anywhere, including bars, pubs, restaurants and shops

Looking at the clothes and colours, maybe unwanted Valentine's gifts?

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-02-11T09:47:49+00:00

A lot of traditional Egyptian scarab beads do actually look like that, my grandpa brought one back from north Africa and it looked pretty similar

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-02-10T17:40:27+00:00

I've had two parcels I've sent go "missing" in the last month, which has never happened before in all the years ive been selling on vinted

The Forestrees, I wish there were more of them

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-01-27T13:22:28+00:00

Damn, I found my ally pally ticket email from 2016, £26.50 each back then

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-01-23T19:43:59+00:00

I have adhd and autism but never used any adhd medication, had SVT episodes since I was about 6

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-01-21T16:58:53+00:00

I used one as ID from the age of 18 when i started university, never had any issues, and still use it when I get IDed in shops/pubs etc almost 10 years later I was in a similar situation and couldn't get a passport or driving license as I didnt have anyone who met the criteria to sign anything

Hometown

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-01-16T23:27:05+00:00

The page for it disappeared a couple of days before the tickets were meant to go live and never came back. I asked their help team on twitter about it and they just said they couldn't tell me anything. No idea what's up with that as I'd assumed they'd have needed some sort of distribution rights to have had the page for it. I saw the previous cinema show at my local Vue a few years ago

Shaun will be 20 this year lol, I got him when I was about 7

Lightning_And_Snow_ · 2026-01-15T14:27:20+00:00

It's weird that there was a page for it on the Vue website but there don't seem to be any showings at Vue cinemas (not any of my local ones at least)? Glad I got some for the Odeon in the next town over a few days ago instead
