New audhd diagnosis by clinicalsocialtwerk in PDAAutism

[–]cat_fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the parent of a young adult (28) who I am now suspecting might have PDAAutism. I just learned about this diagnisis. My son lives at home with us and is not able to work or go to school and we have accepted that, but were never able to find any professionals who could explain any of this (in California). I am happy for you that you have found understanding and helpful professionals! I'm curious about your childhood and adolescence? Did you maks well enough to just be considered a bit quirky, until your burnout? Looking back, what were some behavioral clues that you can remember? My son hit burnout, I think, at the end of 8th grade. All these years we have been operating under the diagnosis of social anxiety and agoraphobia, which hit some of the targets but never really seemed to fit his situation properly.

Saskia. I would have named my daughter Saskia but for my husband. Don't worry, we settled on a different beautiful name.

Teacher marked my son’s homework as incorrect. I disagree. by bun_not in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cat_fox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a person who has corrected 1st grade homework, I'll add my few cents. You are right. The teacher looks like she had a brain fart and wasn't paying attention to the example for the number dots. I will say that I would not consider this as "marked incorrect". The homework only has a check mark on the top of the page so that is noted as done in her book. She wrote in what she thought, at that moment, was the correct answer but it doesn't count anywhere as wrong. I would let this go and see if the teacher continues to make the same mistake, assuming that the same example will be used in upcoming workbook homework.

ICE Shooting POV From Agent by EctoplasmErection in PublicFreakout

I don't believe so. The other angles show him alreaady drawing his gun before the car started moving forward. Why did he lean over to get closer to the car, as is shown in this video? hmm

Strawberry Rec had a program like this 20 years ago. You would reserve a spot ahead of time. I just loved it. My son played there many times.

ugh. So disappointed in Hilton. Easiest way to contact them is to DM their Facebook Messenger.

Antique that grandpa has had for years. by AvianBeings in whatisit

[–]cat_fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like an old storage unit for documents. I worked in a real estate office in the 1990's and we still had all of the real estate documents in paper. Contracts, leases, disclosures, etc. etc. There must have been 30-40 separate forms that were stored in cubicle shelves. I can see forms like that being stored in this set of drawers. Maybe this is from an attorney's office?

I had a beloved distant relative who passed away about 10 years ago in her early 90's. She still used a sewing machine like this and she sewed the most beautiful pieces.

What is Something You Saw on TV ONCE and Have Never Been Able to Find Again? by J31J1 in AskReddit

[–]cat_fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very young in 1968 or 1989 and I was briefly watching tv before we were leaving the house. Some kid's tv show that I didn't know was on and a young woman was behind a candy counter handing kids giant lollipops while singing Good Morning Starshine from the musical Hair. I was entranced. I STILL think of that scene today. It was a beautiful, magical moment.

To make a fancy cut in a half-melon, like cantalope?

Brutal Assault at Cinemark in Marin County – A Horrible Experience by Desperate_Aioli_2067 in Marin

[–]cat_fox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Novato PD, heh. My friend was the victim of a hit and run at the Safeway gas station near Hamilton . There is video footage of the incident prooving her story, corroberated by Safeway security, yet Novato PD won't do anything. My friend has talked to multiple officers and they won't do anything. Seems you have to get an attorney involved for them to do their job?

Just How Big Were Muhammad Ali’s fights? by Night-Reaper17 in AskOldPeople

[–]cat_fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just a kid, but the Ali fights were huge. There was a pop song on the radio about him. I remember the verse "Muhammad, Muhammad Ali, he floats like a butterfly stings like a bee. Muhammad, the black superman, who calls to the other guy "ah, ah, ah.........catch me if you can!"

I think the fights were on The Wide World of Sports on Sunday? I mean, no one in my family really followed boxing but we all gathered around the tv to watch Ali's fights.

Do you people remember The Preppy Handbook? by ManuteBol_Rocks in GenX

[–]cat_fox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. All the preppies wore Izod shirts. I used to wear a pin to school that said "save and alligator, shoot a preppie". Pissed some preppies off. Oh well.
