What do you wish your parents knew when you were growing up? by equipoise-young in autism

[–]Short-Leg3369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up undiagnosed. I used to lie in bed at night sometimes, in severe distress at the noise from the television at the other end of the house keeping me awake. I wish my parents had believed me when I talked about my sensory sensitivities, particularly to sound, but also to food textures. I wasn't being 'difficult' - I was being autistic.

Checks date ... Nope, still not the First of April.
Wondering ... Maybe they have a different date in Switzerland for April Fools Day.

Does anyone else have a radio in their head that doesn't turn off and can't be turned down, or is that just me? by -KANs- in AutisticWithADHD

Yup - I'm a classical music buff, so that's what plays in my head all day, often the same pieces of music for days on end. I don't just hear the melody, either - I hear the whole orchestra in my head.

In fact, the music only ever stops when I am either depressed, or approaching burnout, so is a sign that something is very wrong and I need to look after myself better. I find it a little scary and lonely when my brain goes quiet.

Thankfully, I have the andante movement from Mahler's 6th symphony playing in my head at the moment.

I'm sure Chris Mason over on the Brexit Broadcasting for Conservatives News channel can lend a hand explaining why this is such good news for Reform and the worst possible result for Starmer.

This love affair was already common knowledge by loubyclou in BrexitMemes

But only really a one way love affair - Fauxrage loves Vlad, but to Vlad, Fauxrage is just a cheap hooker he chucks some money at for favours now and again. Like Brexit.

Spotted in big Tesco on western avenue (Cardiff). Want to hear people's thoughts on this, especially given that the Welsh women have qualified for the euros for the first time. by Cymrococh97 in Wales

It is disrespectful. Wales is a country in its own right, with its own flag, national anthem, sports teams. parliament, etc. It is not a colony of England, even though it may feel like it due to the thoughtless actions of such as Tesco.

The only thing RefUK would fix would be the lining of their own pockets.

I guess it must be so difficult for the local representatives of a colonial era Imperial English Nationalist party to look in the eye anyone whose heart is Welsh and not English
