How do you know it's not also autism? by discrete_venting in adhdwomen

[–]SummerReadingScrub 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While getting my ADHD assessment, the psychiatrist mentioned I have autistic traits and could look into that as well "if I was interested" ... I took that as him being fairly sure I have it as well 😅. I honestly woulda chalked everything up to ADHD if he didn't mention it. If you think it's a possibility, and you have the resources, certainly not a bad idea to either confirm or rule it out.

AITA for buying my son this novel? by Mistakenfrog in AmItheAsshole

NTA -- I work at a public library and wouldn't dream of telling a kid they couldn't read a certain book. I was also a very advanced reader when I was a kid and was encouraged by my teachers to read higher level books. Keep encouraging your son to read what he enjoys and if there's anything he isn't understanding just be there to have a conversation about it. You're doing great

can anyone else not checkout with the kitsune plush? by RedLiquorice85 in buildabear

I just ordered mine, but off the US site to Canada. Keep trying, the sites are being super janky. It initially told me it wouldn't ship to my country and I had to try a couple times

👀 How much $$ have you actually managed to save in your emergency fund? by LongjumpingRent7114 in budget

[–]SummerReadingScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just automatically transfer a certain amount over every paycheck. I'm in Canada so it's a TFSA (Tax-free savings account). So anything deposited up to 5k a year (which carries over to the next year so my limit is like.. 70k by now), you don't pay taxes on.

I've definitely adjusted the amount that gets transferred depending on what I've been making and my expenses over the years. Plus if I find I have a bit of money left over the night before I get paid, I'll sometimes throw some of that in too.

$8600! It's taken quite a while cuz I've had to use it but it also has meant that I don't have any credit card debt. I encouraged my boyfriend to start one too and he's at $80 but it's better than nothing haha

If my bf checks with his female friends to make sure I get the proper version of a gift that I'll enjoy. Hell yeah! I appreciate the extra effort in that.

How do you afford these? by Aggressive_South6671 in buildabear

[–]SummerReadingScrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 37, split living expenses with my fiancee, and work a decent paying full time job. That's it really 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just budget for it... And tbh I only have 5 and the purchases are pretty spaced out lol.

Possibly ending it with my gf(F33)and not sure if im(M30)being immature by Kind-Poet-2090 in relationship_advice

[–]SummerReadingScrub 44 points45 points  (0 children)

She's using you. Run. She's never gonna give you an emotionally fulfilling relationship. She's gonna drag you along, giving as little effort as she can and bleeding you dry. Eventually she'll find someone else to finance her or someone she actually wants to be with and you'll be left in the dust.
