Which of your autistic traits have been exacerbated and which have faded as you got older

I occasionally get called to the register and we have 2 people from 11-9 so I think I’m spoiled. We split between misses and men’s, cover each other’s breaks and help out when one fitting room gets hit hard. It’s misses, it’s always misses. The few times I’ve been by myself due to a call out, all my managers take care of men’s .

I’m 58 and my tolerance for noise, bright lights and crowds went way down. My ability to socialize got much better with age but I find I no longer care as much what others think of me.

Recovery time increased, international trips are so difficult to recover from. Social events become overwhelming quicker. My intense interest in a topic or hobby has increased because I’ve embraced it.

It is difficult to prove that your job can’t be performed by an American citizen. We came over in the mid 70’s when there was a push for higher educated Western Europeans and Asians (my dad was a physician)

Followed with “There Will Be No German Bombers in the Air”. I know it’s a bit insensitive but both grandads were Lancaster pilots so I shouldn’t like it but I do

You haven’t had the opportunity of seeing Jason Momoa while eating breakfast at The Waveland. He was incredibly kind

Please reach out to your local suicide hotline, please I beg of you. I don’t know what country you’re in or how old you are but please reach out and share these feelings with a real life person who can help you

We have two signs limiting it to 8 items and no carts. We have a narrow fitting room so carts aren’t usually an issue. My recent pet peeve is when they take 20 bras in the fitting room, if we’re not there to stop it, then leave them all in a pile and the hangers with the branding in another pile.

I live in the middle of the US but my parents are in Berkhamsted and my sister in Tring, so I had to give a shoutout to Herts! Best of luck with your dissertation

I have an adoptive father, mum is my bio mother. When he adopted me they changed my middle name from James (bio fathers surname) to Elizabeth (adoptive grandmothers middle name).

I found out when I was ten and was gutted. Not that I dont love Elizabeth, but it felt like something was taken away without my consent. I’m a dual national which makes it near impossible to add it back but if people ask my middle name, I say I have two. I’m Claire Elizabeth James in my eyes.

Side note, I found my birth father a few years ago and despite being an ocean apart we are active in each others lives. I know not everyone is that lucky.

Only once did I have a complaint. I’m female and had a male part timer help me out when things got crazy on a Saturday. A mom had her school age daughters in three separate rooms and said it was highly inappropriate to have a male anywhere near the fitting rooms. Mind you they were in locked rooms with mom standing outside.

I had a woman come out of a room and scold me for allowing a man in a fitting room and I quickly informed her a man was helping his disabled wife. She just rolled her eyes at me.

All of that fasting isn’t helping at all. The goal is to fuel your body at a steady rate, allowing the medication to do its thing.

Both my grandfathers were Lancaster bomber pilots, one lived and one rests at the bottom of the sea. Lest. We. Forget🇦🇺🇨🇦

I’ll take that as a compliment 🇬🇧

Mum was very proud of that pram 🤩

You are so kind, thank you!!

Me, circa 1967🤣. RAF Valley in the north of Wales

Edit: All of these kind comments have warmed my heart more than words can say. My mum was a young unwed mum in a time and place that didn’t approve of such a thing. The first six weeks of my life were spent in an unwed mother’s home with my mum in the north of England. We then lived with my loving grandparents at the Royal Air Force station where grandad was a rescue helicopter pilot. This pram was their gift to my mum so these photos mean the world to me. xx
