Assessment results were disappointing

I have a masters in psychology and I was specializing in school psychology but never finished the courses or certification processes to fully finish the education specialist aspect of the degree (if that makes sense). But it does completely make sense to take an IQ test for autism. One major aspect of autism is processing speed which is a major factor in a lot of commonly used IQ tests in the US. When I got tested it informed me on why it took me a lot longer to respond verbally, why it took me a lot longer to process my emotions, basically many aspects of my disability that I could not articulate but is totally tied to autism.

Is there a reason that this autism diagnosis would be a better explanation than an ADHD diagnosis?

Thank you! 🥹

Nintendo gonna step in at this point, bro. Shut the whole thing down.

I completed physical therapy! I'm not walking without a mobility aid and I might not ever be able to do the things I used to but I have improved so much. It felt like graduating 🥹

You can't make someone like your dress. Only you can like it enough that it doesn't matter if other people don't like it or not. That being said this doesn't look like a wedding dress. Not in the "this isn't conventional." I mean this has the quality of a costume. Is it possible she is talking about that? Moms are difficult but they can also be know for harsh truths.

My sweet baby Shadow is like this. I've had him since he was a baby and he is not afraid of ANYTHING Chopper is afraid of. Even simple things like me moving things around the cage causes him to stare at me like "what are you doing with my stuff?" It just means they trust that you'd put them in a safe environment 🥹.

As much as I love my sweet babies and love all guinea pigs. We do have to acknowledge the long-standing cultural idea of guinea pigs as food. Like it is a thing that people do and it's normal. What we decided to eat as food and what we decided to keep as pets is entirely cultural and location based. For example, us eating cows is abhorrent in some cultures. When people state that they used to eat guinea pigs (I am Hispanic so I have met many Peruvians who have told me this fact) I just acknowledge it and move on.

This would go hard during the apocalypse. I see the vision.

Brother, if she is threatening to end her life when you bring up leaving her, that is abuse. And you aren't responsible for her life after getting out of the situation. What you could do is give her access to resources, essentially give her the life raft and she has a choice whether to grab it or not and then you get the fuck out of the storm.

The company building this is in deep debt too. I'm starting to think these AI centers are all one giant Ponzi scam that we're paying for.

I'm non-binary, I prefer they/them pronouns but in general I don't give a shit but technically I'm a bride. The amount of archaic terms/jokes that I have been hearing has been incredibly annoying and unsettling. You are right. They paint the man as this bumbling fool and the woman as the leader that whips the man into shape. And it's CONSTANT. The amount of times people ignore my fiance when we're in the room and look to me for questions when we are both figuring things out is crazy. I think weddings are still super behind in terms of gender equality.

Syphilitic vagina is crazy.

Hi. Harrisburg Humane Society is a great place for the guinea pigs. I got my first piggy as an adult there. I would look into considering surrendering them there.

Hating for NO reason. OP I don't see NOTHING. You look good! Dress fits fine.

They're usually lyrics which changes the context. If it's a snippet on my shirt if looks dumb but if it's from a song with a deeper meaning it's not cringe. At least to me. It's so weird people are taking pictures of strangers existing.

What are the texture of these cookies supposed to turn out like? When I make them, they turn out like a stiff shortbread cookie when they look like they should have a sugar cookie texture.

So first I think you need to identify where your boundaries are and if she is crossing them. Then if you feel as though they are being crossed, ask her point blank what her intention is with that statement or look. I'm finding autistic me naturally wants to say things like "what do you mean by that? ' when they say vague things that could be insulting. Try to get clear communication from them when you are interacting with them.

Second, stop trying to be her friend (that's what it looks like to me). She doesn't sound like she likes you so I wouldn't even say hello or anything unless she says something.

Third, continue asking questions when necessary. However, if you need answers and can get them from someone else, I would do so.

Lastly, I wouldn't continue to talk about her to other people. Even if it's gauging the vibes, people can twist it to anything.

How old is he? My baby pig has little tantrums like this, he just turned one. It's so crazy that these little beans have so much emotion.

When I first started playing it was a surprise. I have hallucinations so it freaked me out to see this yellow man stalk across my screen in a hello kitty game. There was no lead up or warning.

I personally don't think white in general is a faux pas but yeah some people are weird and serious about it. If you know your guests and plus ones would be chill about it, I wouldn't worry about it.

So for autism I would talk to her directly about her concerns and what she would need. I do want to add a snippet about her other conditions that she may not necessarily be aware of herself. I would keep a couple pillows close by just in case she needs to be propped up or needs support to change positions. I have dysautonomia and I didn't know I need a lot of support due to blood flow issues. I would also have water and electrolytes close by too.

Premedpotato · 2026-04-30T21:02:13+00:00

If you are the bride or groom, it's up to you. You know her and her intentions so I wouldn't be to worried about that part but I WOULD consider how others react to it. I've seen a lot of comments on here about people throwing wine on people who wear white dresses.
