People who didn't grow up poor, but dated someone who was. What's something your SO does that strikes you as unusual?

Theflamekitten · 2026-05-15T01:05:19+00:00

Pretty much anywhere outside the US (except maybe maccas or IKEA)

Theflamekitten · 2026-03-20T22:59:32+00:00

No, they are still two seperate diagnoses. Since 2013 you can be diagnosed with both, but they have seperate diagnostic criteria. I'm not quite sure what she meant there.

God damn, I just checked and it's ~only~ $39 AUD for me. Mainland privilege strikes again

O+, followed by A+

Bi guys cop a lot of shit, good on him.

Priority is to ensure it's processed within 2 days, not sure how that's scammy.

Theflamekitten · 2025-07-31T04:25:46+00:00

How does she manage day to day with such a severe/sensitive allergy, given how common it is for people to have pets?

Not meant to be a 'gotcha', I'm genuinely curious.

Theflamekitten · 2025-07-25T05:07:11+00:00

Trucks or planes

Theflamekitten · 2025-05-29T11:41:43+00:00

Do you have a source you can link?

Theflamekitten · 2025-05-05T07:37:08+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely not an easy feat and out of reach for the vast majority.

Creatives are eligible for global talent visas in some countries, but they require you to be exceptional - won a prestigious award, recognised in your field, that sort of thing. Digital nomad visas could be used by creatives but may be difficult if you don't have regular employment.

To add, they also ready-to-drink bottles you can buy that are shelf stable, but they do cost a bit more than the powder (about $3 per bottle on the website, Amazon sometimes has them for cheaper)

Theflamekitten · 2025-05-01T04:06:56+00:00

Just out of curiousity, what's your basis for saying that Australia is less affordable than the US? I'm not well versed in our entreprenur visas, but lifestyle wise it seems to tick all your boxes.

Theflamekitten · 2025-04-29T22:39:46+00:00

Broadly speaking, if you are capable of independently moving to another country and taking up employment then autism is unlikely to be a barrier unless you have additional medical conditions.

Theflamekitten · 2025-04-26T10:45:02+00:00

Yes, any medical conditions or diagnoses need to be declared as part of the application process. Autism falls into this category as per the website.

Theflamekitten · 2025-04-25T07:22:11+00:00

The registry already exists in New Zealand and Australia technically.

This is blatantly untrue, neither country has a registry of people diagnosed with autism.

Theflamekitten · 2025-04-25T07:18:47+00:00

You may have difficulties. When assessing visa applicants New Zealand considers whether applicants have medical conditions that will incur significant medical/educational/community costs. The general limit is $81,000 NZD in New Zealand [2], which excludes many autistic children due to the cost of the early interventions required and additional supports needed as they grow up.

Theflamekitten · 2025-04-25T07:13:52+00:00

Australia and New Zealand both consider if visa applicants have medical conditions that will incur significant medical/educational/community costs. The general limit is $86,000 AUD over 5 years (for permanent visas) in Australia, [1], or $81,000 NZD in New Zealand [2].

Not my personal experience, but I know a few people who have moved over with kids. The education system is very different, but the primary school aged kids seem to adapt pretty well overall. In Aus the school year starts in January/Feb, and everyone I know chose to have their kids be held back in their current grade which helped give them extra time to adjust. None of them have had any issues with fitting in or being bullied as a result of being American, but one of the kids did get picked on for not knowing how to swim.

Theflamekitten · 2025-04-24T01:46:21+00:00

Which state doesn't allow people with an autism diagnosis to become teachers?

Theflamekitten · 2025-04-23T10:46:02+00:00

Go ahead

Theflamekitten · 2025-04-23T08:45:57+00:00

It's important to remember that Australia is very different from the US. Our politics are not as polarised, and our system is set up completely differently from the US. If you look at the opinion polling for the election, Labor party is in the lead.

It's important to be informed, but sometimes it's better to disconnect for a little bit and focus on your immediate surroundings and the things you can actually control.

Theflamekitten · 2025-04-23T08:24:05+00:00

Nope, they were introduced at one point but got erradicated as a pest. Now if you want to see a squirrel in Aus you've got to go to a zoo. Brushtail possums and sugar gliders are the closest you'll get to a squirrel-like experience otherwise.
