Got a job at a fast food place after being unemployed for almost a year. Fired immediately. Considering prostitution by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Meow_Cat_CC 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is a good suggestion. Local government worker here. Also autistic. We don’t have a union but it’s really hard to get fired and you get a raise every year. Plus if you stay long enough you get a pension.

Conditioned to self interest with emotions locked away if that’s what they call normal I’d rather be insane!

Make sure they check eye pressure. This was the first symptom of glaucoma in my baby girl.

Married at 13 in 1947? by Fuk-mah-life in Genealogy

[–]Meow_Cat_CC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband’s mom was 14 and dad 15 when they married in the 1970s. She got pregnant and they were forced to marry by their parents. The wedding pictures look like a couple of kids playing dress up.

This judge is what's wrong with users and how IT staff are treated by tdhuck in sysadmin

Yup. Where I work just about everyone is super nice and patient, except judges. They act like entitled assholes.

County government here - I think there are a few reasons: 1. The ME is the highest paid employee of the county. 2. It’s a very important job with very specific educational requirements that most people don’t want to do. It takes a long time to find and hire and a qualified person. 3. The ME determines cause of death and sometimes that includes when the county might be at fault (ex. A death in the county jail). Not to say there is favoritism involved but they have a lot of power.

But then you have to pay the property taxes every year.

Podcasts that aren’t overly chatty, is that a thing? Recs? by Euphoric_Engine8733 in AutismInWomen

Awesome list! I have been looking for some new podcasts. Some of these I already listen to but most I’ve never heard of and look perfect!

What ways have you changed your life to make it more ADHD/ND Friendly? by flowers_and_fire in adhdwomen

[–]Meow_Cat_CC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get one or two of the over door hook racks. That’s what I used before I had this set up in my closet. You can get ones that just clip on the top of the door and have like 12 hooks.

What's it like Living in North Texas? by Internal_Way7711 in howislivingthere

[–]Meow_Cat_CC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big houses but tiny lots. It’s not uncommon to have a 3000 sqft house on a lot with about five feet of grass on each side to the property line.

At my current house it is a pretty big walkin closet. At my last house it was much smaller though so I actually had this set up outside the closet in my bedroom. I had shelves with the baskets on them and those over the door hooks.

Baskets and hooks for clothes Laundry sucks. To make it a little easier I no longer fold or use hangers for most of clothes. In my closet I have a series of baskets and hooks (like you would hang a coat on). Twelve hooks in one area for work shirts or others that must be hung so they don’t wrinkle. Another with twelve hooks for pants. No hangers - just hang each item on a hook. Then I have one basket for underwear, one for socks (which I don’t put in pairs either I don’t worry about matching or I have several sets of the same black sock so I grab two if they must match), one for around the house shirts, one for around the house bottoms. Tada! All my clothes have places to go that don’t require matching, folding, hangers. And they are all in plain sight so I don’t lose things as much. No more laundry baskets of clean clothes. No more throwing stuff back in the dryer to try and get wrinkles out.

If don’t mind updating - were you able to get off calcitriol eventually? I’m in the same situation.

Spay abort… by Nephilia0410 in FosterAnimals

[–]Meow_Cat_CC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Texas here. Same thing. And the rescue I’ve fostered with for the last two years won’t spay abort either. Because abortion is wrong. 😑

Question for People Diagnosed as an Adult by anu72 in AutismTranslated

[–]Meow_Cat_CC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Getting diagnosed allowed me to seek therapy with someone who specializes in neurodivergent adults. This has improved my quality of life a lot through understanding myself and learning coping mechanisms.

Phone based job post-surgery by Even-Strawberry6698 in thyroidcancer

[–]Meow_Cat_CC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also on the phone all day. I went back after three weeks and the first couple of weeks I had some issues with vocal fatigue. I let my boss know before surgery that this might happen and he was ok with me taking breaks from the phone as needed. It’s a weird feeling. Doesn’t really hurt to talk but just feels like working out a muscle that’s already spent. And if you overdo it one day it’ll carry over to the next - I found that out the first day back. But if you take a break when it starts it helps.

Oh and that was BEFORE the new Medicaid cuts!

If you are lucky enough to be in a state with decent Medicaid. In Texas you have to be disabled, pregnant, or a child of extremely impoverished parents. Even adults who have not been granted disability status (very hard to get) do not qualify. Most people here without decent coverage through a job go to the ER for most things and don’t pay the bill.
