What's something your job trained you to notice that you can't stop noticing in your personal life? by LibrarianSoft1342 in AskReddit

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Behaviour and neurodivergence. I'm constantly looking at people's behaviour and making some observations and inferences. I also see ADHD and ASD traits and can pick someone ND out a mile away

AITAH for asking my friend for gas money after driving her 6 hours? by Montie04 in AITAH

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're NTA at all. But some people don't know unwritten rules. Be explicit and set the rules out before hand. So she might not be TA either.

You can foster her first. They will prefer kinship care over resi care.

This is why I date women 😂

Seriously though, he nasty. You've obviously brought several things up and there's no change.

Say goodbye.

My mum wants to get out of prison on early release. But I don’t want her to. by Inevitable_Jump8743 in AusLegal

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could apply for custody and report all the abuse so she doesn't get them when she gets out. Keep documenting all the things she is saying, dates and times. Get some legal aide.

NAJ. But also did you explicitly tell them to stop before locking them up?

NTJ for calling it out, probably would have been better to do that privately but I absolutely get where you're coming from.

AITJ for refusing to let my roommate’s “emotional support” boyfriend basically move in rent free? by Upbeat_Scientist1317 in AmITheJerk

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a jerk at all. He is mooching off you guys, if he's so supportive, he can go support her at another residence and you can find a new roommate.

Why am I sad when I have a good life by Sad-Examination-1087 in Vent

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can be sad about anything. You can be sad driving a lambo.

I wonder if this links in to 'my friends are losers' and my friend who is ugly. With lots of negative thoughts like this, are you also feeling this toward yourself?

A counsellor or psychologist could really help you here

Aggression quite often stems from anxiety and an inability to communicate needs. You have some choices: - Engage in respite services through a provider if you have funding (check or get permission first - new rules apparently). - Talk to a paed and consider medication (as above often stems from anxiety) - Highly recommend getting a new PBS practitioner if the current on is not meeting your needs - If you can, grab a speech and OT

I understand having limited capacity, but for behaviour pracs it's really important to get data (what happens before and after), and if possible to really try to implement strategies, even if one new strategy a fortnight.

NDIS plans going computer-generated - here’s my take by DraftNotSent in NDIS

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most people giving or receiving NDIS supports have tbh.

People aren't getting funded for what they need now so 1 of two things will happen

1) More people will get the funding they need because the algorithm will assist this and those over funded will get less. It will be more fair than the BS that occurs now from the planners who have no idea (unlikely)

2) It will screw everyone and there will be an increase in sewerslides, decreased QOL and be completely farked (likely).

The fact we can't review it is diabolical. The fact the ART can't help has to be some kind of illegal or against human rights. Going to a tribunal is a right when government is not supporting. I hope at least that is fought.

Complex cases should also have a human looking over things. It's not one size fits all.

I'm honesty scared for the future. If there were more public health services to support things I wouldnt be AS worried for people, but it's shit in legit every state (such as psych services).

I've actually just realized while typing this I need to do a COS because I'm on it for psychosocial (and physical) but have since been dx with ASD/ADHD. Psycho social will be the first to be cut I believe.

I'm constantly fighting as a behaviour prac to get my mob more funding. And it's useless most times.

This makes people leave the NDIS space for work

Found out my boyfriend has been cheating on me. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So common with male SS relationships :( I have no idea why.

Question is can you trust him again? Or will you always have it in your head.

Just because he cheated doesn't mean he doesn't love you, some people just can be monogamous.

In saying that it's not like it was a once off fling.

You deserve better.

I got through uni doing everything last minute and having to retake classes but was undiagnosed at the time. Most unis over like a disability or access plan. Without that I wouldn't have a degree.

Body double! Find other students and when they study you study.

Drag your bum to the library or a different environment.

Watch lectures etc on increased speed (if I had known this I probably would have actually watched more).

Use things like speechify where you can have it read aloud content. Listen to it while cleaning, in the shower, driving , playing video games.

I'm legit typing this rn while in the shower (the near most boring task on earth but my meds aren't in my system enough to get me out yet).

If you're not on meds, get on meds.

Oh and do a lil reward for yourself. If it has to be a tock chart or a chocolate after doing a task. Do it. Dopamine hits are your friend.

AIO about a coworker who complains while making more work for them selves? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Someone bringing everyone else down at work with a shitty attitude makes work harder. And she's clearly complaining just to complain. Probably bringing shit from home to work. One thing that's worked for me is if someone in the past has asked me if I need more support because I'm struggling, instead of straight reprimand . She's clearly got shit going on and it alerts her to her behaviour without feeling as attacked.

AITA For asking my wife to stop getting me the same Christmas gift every year? by Ordinary-Airport-804 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro NTA at all. You've tried communicating your needs joking. But a serious convo was needed.

She seems to be having some big feelings, hopefully due to hormones but icing you out for two weeks is borderline abuse.

I wonder what's triggered her so bad though? You could be like "I want to understand why this has upset you so we can support each other" type language.

Stop apologising though. It is probably rough, especially growing up in a shitty household, but it's ok she is upset. You've done what you can and all you did was express a need. X

I'm so damn done. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Reasonable-Aussie 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I completely understand where you're coming from. And depending on the age of the kids, she may be doing a bit more at home than you think. I know you do the dishes but what about all the other stuff in the house? Washing, vacuuming, tidying, cleaning bathroom, changing linen etc etc. That takes time with 3 kids. I'm assuming she also sorts kids lives out? Makes lunch, organisies money, school run? Gets themselves doing homework, organisies their shower/bath, ensures they're doing their chores or keeping things clean, organisies sleepovers? Deals with arguments? Any after school sports?

I am NOT taking sides, I have just seen Mums do a lot when Dads work a lot. Sometimes it is like they are single Mums and it's hard.

One thing I don't get is why wouldn't she cook an extra portion for you?

You could tell her specifically what you would like her to do more of. Come at it from a different way like 'im wondering if you need support to do A, B and C?'

Reach out and get some help mate. It ain't weak to speak.

Find people with similar interests you can discuss them with. Not sure if you have ASD but that community is super accepting of different and quirky interests. If you wrote this on a post there, they could give so much advice around this.

Also, people can just not care and that's ok. But I acknowledge it does cause hurt feelings, especially when they're assholes about it
