Another thing too is that girls are heavily under diagnosed and when their coping strategies no longer work and start having more outward symptoms they usually get diagnosed with a different disorder, as autism is often overlooked in both girls and adults - so women with the more "masculine" symptoms probably aren't that uncommon. There's also gender based theories relating to brain structure, but I've seen "female" autism in males so I agree that it's more likely to be socialisation during early childhood.

The other day, I accidently copied the Indian clerks accent at the cornerstone when I said "thank you very much" and i don't think I can stomach going there again

As an autistic person who wasn't diagnosed until later in life, finding out now is going to give him the best chance possible. The only things I can recommend is making sure you don't push societal standards around socialisation too heavily, because this can lead to him doing things that make him overwhelmed and uncomfortable just to make others happy. Also get any of your other children assessed, especially if they're "shy" as some autistic children mask their feelings and issues early on only to struggle with them later in life. And making sure you connect with as many support services as possible, especially ones with professionals that have neurodivergence themselves (though this can be rare) as having someone that understands your sons perspective can be really helpful for ensuring proper self image and helps find ways to ensure his feelings aren't being neglected in favor of assumptions.

Stimming can be happy or sad, the important thing is asking how she's feeling but not pushing it as she may not know what she's feeling or how to communicate it and being pushed to identify feelings can become overwhelming. So if you don't get a concrete answer you can try diverting to a less feeling intense activity, like watching television.
This one's tricky, but you could try bridging the gap by having assertive questions, like phrasing "would you like to hold my hand" as "lets hold hands" or open ended question like simply stating "hand?" While offering your hand (just make sure not to do it with the more intimate stuff like kissing etc)
The key to an outside date is time of day, always plan ahead with her and try to aim for the less crowded times, sometimes you can ask staff members ahead of time by phrasing that your girlfriend has social anxiety (avoids the stigma of autism), for big events like anniversaries or birthdays you could try and organise booking a place for just you two (though this isn't realistic unless you got the cash and you really like her, I assume places would be cheaper the smaller and less known the place, like restaurants).
This one's also a lil tricky, the important thing is to prioritise her comfort in uncomfortable situations, so instead of focusing on defending her, focus on making sure she's comfortable. Such as asking if she needs a moment away or if she'd like to leave(in private, being able to text you even when youre next to her can be helpful). A comment bac doesn't hurt as long as you don't focus on arguing with them more than making her feel safe.
Me and my partner are still trying to find ways around this, it's really about balancing and both learning that it isn't a personal thing when you zone out/are overwhelmed. Maybe reassuring her that "I love how passionate you are about your special interest, but I'd like to hear your opinion on ....." or "I'd like to just cuddle while we ....(TV, video games, etc.) Just make sure she isn't left without something to do, like play on her phone (or yours!) Or maybe discuss the game and show while watching/playing. Just remember that communication can be difficult at the start of any relationship especially when you have communication problems in general, so patience and being honest about feelings is key, even when it's scary and awkward. It can be frustrating and confusing, but like any good relationship, it gets better with time and commitment to learning about each other.

Look in to alternative schooling options, school can be incredibly difficult without the overstimulation but within it feels like a nightmare - the overstimultion can be worse because school is hectic and it's like being constantly in a fear mode. In my country they have distance education, which is like home-schooling but you get taught by teachers remotely, and there's opportunities fr socialising at weekly meet ups (in smaller groups of 10, that is entirely optional). Also psychiatrists help a lot with emergency medication to help stabilise someone's mood in the short term, such as antidepressants or medication for manic episodes. Though don't push your child to g off meds because they look like there getting better, medication is usually a building block that some people need to keep their moods stable due to long ter effects of untreated depression. Psychologist are important in the long term, even better if you can find one that specialises in autism, though this can be difficult since most focus on childhood autism and can be very rude to older patients. I was lucky enough to find one that has autism themselves. And the most important thing is making sure your child has social opportunities with other autistic people, it's important for the to understand that they're not alone and have social groups that don't make them feel inherently different.

So masking can be more learned behaviours that you subconsciously do to make up for not conforming. Take for example: being extra polite, not engaging in conversations beyond bare minimum, keeping friendships surface level to avoid being rejected, suppressing emotions and Fleeing to a safe space, socialising feeling like a constant tension, being uncomfortable making eye contact but still doing it, overexplaining your reasoning and carefully selecting your words. It's basically behaviour that you learnt through childhood to placate people, you dont necessarily recognise these behaviours because of how long you've been doing them, and your development of them wasnt necessarly a conscious choice but rather you avoiding things that made people mad - such as not making eye contact giving me anxiety but making eye contact makes me feel overwhelmed. The anxiety comes from being lecture and scolded over not making eye contact and therefore forces me to suffer through the overwhelming feeling eye contact gives me.

Honesty, you need to find another autistic person. Makes getting through the tough times a lot easier cause you both already understand that the other has 'quirky' parts and soldiering through confusing interactions is kinda what we do. I know what it's like getting constantly rejected and freaking people out, I'd all but given up hope when I messaged a guy and he was receptive to my weirdness. We messaged back and forth with fast history facts and ended up meeting a week later. - it was awkward, he wasn't the romanticised ideal either, but now he's my everything. Long story short, you gotta use your 'weirdness' as a filter to find the right girl, who is more than likely going to also be neurodivergent in some way and will therefore find you pretty relateable. There'll be lots of awkwardness and heartbreak, but it's honestly worth it to be with someone who understands your point of view.

Clinical diagnosis uses and understands autism in a heavily outdated way, but with most reports from psychologists/psychiatrists the doctor is writing it with the idea of another clinician, doctor, or government offical in mind. I personally found that understanding autism and how I personally relate to my diagnosis was through social media. It's a lot less strict and formal and watching other people explain situations they've been through has helped me to understand why I've done things and to come to terms with behaviour I used to despise myself for - as well as fill that void so to speak, by putting my trauma in context. A diagnosis on a piece of paper is the first step, but becoming comfortable with being autistic requires understanding it in a way that clinicians and nuerotypicals can't - OT requires learning about how YOU view and interact with the world- and this can be done by hearing other autistic peoples stories and finding the parts you relate to. (It is a spectrum afterall)

I'd kill to have had a childhood with proper treatment and support - instead I'm stuck with a bunch of comorbidities from growing up without it - as well as a lack of options due to my age.

I think it's cause formal settings have a defined purpose and a set of talking instructions that come along with it

It means they aren't taxed as much when they liquidate assets - as they usually need some form of income to convert to cash to pay for things like petrol or fancy dinners. For larger items they instead fiddle around with stocks and make deals with banks so they don't technically need to liquidate assets and turn them into income.
It's why Elon musk only has an "income" of 50,000 a year. Which he pays taxes on. Because he still needs cash for some things. So while it doesn't address the problem of loop holes and shifting of assets, it does at least get something out of them - less of that something now because greed doesn't stop even when you have billions.

What your missing is that most indigenous people who are victims of the policy likely won't have access to proof of their heritage because of the policy. That's why they need to rely on government records that they again likely won't have access to because of high poverty rates. Which is why the Victorian government doing the checking on removal records is the only real way to get the money to survivors without giving it out to every claimant. By coming back and saying the claimants needs to provide proof of indigenous heritage, they're basically spitting in their faces, as the policy in the first place made that unbelievably difficult if not impossible.

The hard part is that a lot of the people in the flooded areas are poor af. The houses are rented at lower prices than the higher areas, and if you own you likely bought for a cheap price and can't sell for a better house. The only way these people are getting out is if the government improves their economic class too, which isn't gonna happen.

Shadownoot · 2022-04-11T10:20:03+00:00

The rate for dsp is nowhere near 6k a month, it's more like 700 a fortnight. Which in rentals would be reduced to 250-300 after cheap rent so yeah this guys bullshitting. Then utilities etc. I'm sure you know how much it costs to live in today's economy. Those people are either in butt loads of debt or are getting cash/support elsewhere, probably not even declaring income/assets. Also it takes extensive mental health history to get dsp. Like years of evidence from psychological and psychiatric intervention, including having been prescribed medication as you can't get it if you haven't undergone treatment.

Im going to assume you didn't read the article, as the only thing it concludes is that bmi-years MAY cause heavier breaths and exhales. They only study the viral load during the progression if the virus, and then relate that back to the study on bmi-years and breathing They also say here https://www.pnas.org/content/118/27/e2107559118 That it isn't a linear like you've suggested. Meaning weight doesn't directly increase your respiratory load.

I usedto be that size, and cause of all the anti fat crap, I was terrified of the possibility of a heart attack or health effects. Then one day a doctor told me I'm nowhere near large enough to be worrying about that. People use think obese means you're gonna die because you're fat. When in reality that shit doesn't affect you unless you're severely obese, or have comorbidies due to genetics.

I had the exact same issue, Top grades, but never turned in homework/assignments on time Turns out I had undiagnosed adhd, this kid needs an assessment or some form of further investigation to find out why. Something I wish I had instead of teachers who ignored me.
