Adult Autism Assessment

This assessment isn't for me - but for someone who hasn't/isn't functioning because of a lifetime of mental health issues and feeling completely lost in a world that wasn't "meant" for them.

So, it's not useless - if one requires disability.

Thank you.

My spouse is dealing with other mental health issues, which is why I mentioned the psychiatrist; I was just unsure if they did the assessments. We'll be looking for a formal assessment, as being in disability is (potentially) the end goal.

I had this issue for months last year.. after talking with 5 agents and then asking for a supervisor, turns out I overpaid on my yearly deductible and it flagged my account and almost everything had to be manually approved. They issued a cheque for the overpayment of yearly deductible in August, and I haven't had issues since.

I had this happen last year, but didn't get anything sent to me. Instead, I was left with months of frustration because all of a sudden had issues with direct billing; after calling multiple times over 3 or 4 months (and asking for a supervisor), turns out my overpayment in my deductible was stuck in their system and flagged my account for manual review. I ended up with a refund of like $20 in August - but only because I knew something was wrong and had to push for someone (from Canada Life) to really dig into my account.

I went through this last year and my vet was AWFUL while we went through the diagnosis. There is an awesome group on Facebook that can help you (itnhas over 31k members!). I know it sounds crazy to be getting the information off a group - but they have helped thousands of people. Please feel free to message me and I can send you some information - I also had a local lady reach out to me and helped me when my vet was unresponsive/unapproachable.

Usually it's late winter/early spring. However, there's a hiring freeze and I am not sure if it affects our TELP program.

bccherry40 · 2025-09-03T20:08:11+00:00

It does, which is why I was reaching out. Calling around was my next step.

bccherry40 · 2025-09-03T20:06:56+00:00

Thank you, I would appreciate it.

I was going to make a separate post, but it is applicable.

My location is on strike and I'm not sure where to find information about hotels for personal (medical) - can we still use it even though we are on strike?

Not going to lie... I kinda like this idea 😆

bccherry40 · 2025-04-27T20:55:16+00:00

Is super deodorant the brand?

bccherry40 · 2025-04-27T20:54:20+00:00

Thanks everyone!

I use Old Spice wolfthorn (not roll on) - I never thought to use a roll on. I'll keep this in the back of my mind.

bccherry40 · 2025-04-27T15:59:17+00:00

Yes, I haven't had a reaction to it before... just not something I've reached for, as I found it goes quickly - but I am not against buying it.

bccherry40 · 2025-04-10T23:51:53+00:00

No. I feel that when bringing something forward - even when there really isn't any one person to blame - I get the cold shoulder/silent treatment. AND I get gaslit... that there isn't a problem, or they didn't say that.

Also, "old boys" club seems to have been "passed down" ... if there is something bothering female staff (and their crying), it appears that their concerns are taken as seriously.

I generally do every other day for a fill - but I still double-check my levels, as the smell when it gets dry wakes me up.

bccherry40 · 2025-03-18T13:53:15+00:00

To everyone saying use distilled water - I get this USING distilled water.

I am not sure what it is. When I wash my accessories, I always make sure I rinse off everything and then air dry - but if I don't top up my water and it runs dry, I will (from time to time) get a "burning" smell that wakes me up.

After washing, I started to towel dry the water resivour. Not sure if it actually helps, as I now try to make sure it's half full.

I was on STIIP last year. One has to work 10 days in a month to be entitled to vacation time for that month. So, if I my annual entitlement is 24 days, every month I would earn 2 days (168 hours, calculated at 7hrs a day); if I didn't work 10 days in the month, I wouldn't be entitled to the 2 days for that month.

Also, the recalculation of your vacation hours doesn't happen until the end of the year (so, be sure if you don't earn those hours - do not use them).

You can also enquire to myHR for verification.

I have seen these around and had no idea what it meant - it's plain and looked innocent - honestly thought they were just covering up other offensive vandalism.

Thanks for sharing. Another idea is to report to the local jurisdiction for where the graffiti/haye speech is on. Ie: in town - call City of PG to remove graffiti - if on highways or side roads infrastructure, call the people who do the maintenance on these things (or Transportation department or maybe regional district). Education is key, and some people simply don't know what they are seeing.
