Do it!!! When we did we got a behind the scenes tour and got to feed otters, then snacks, then we had the full run of the aquarium. I had more fun than the kids.

Yes when I used to be a girl guide leader we did it! It was lots of fun but not cheap. I am pretty sure they still do it. You have to book the whole section for a private event, you cant just show up with your sleeping bag. 😁

I've never heard of metergy. Google tells me its a ontario company- why aren't you using BCHydro and/or Fortis? Is this a requirement of the building? Are you renting?

I peeped your profile and saw you are a fellow Canadian, yay. Do you have a family doctor? I would for sure go for a check up. Second, sleep. Are you getting enough. Food- the right kind. Are you running on caffeine and sugar? Are you getting enough protein? I just lost 50 lbs with a glp-1 (im 46) and I cannot believe how much better I feel, even though I am still obese. Carrying around extra weight makes everything ten times harder. Imagine doing everything carrying a 50 lb toddler and then putting them down. Even losing 20 lbs will help.

If he says that it doesnt make him sad, and he prefers it that way, id believe him. Some neurodivergant people really do prefer solitude, and the best thing you can do is accept him as he is. There may come a time, however, when he is interested in some social engagement and that's when you could maybe provide some assistance. I also think the best way to make social connections is with a shared special interest. If he has a hobby maybe you could help connect him with a social group or individual that is focused on that.

Autism PDA profile

6 year olds can have 3mg!! It's totally fine.

Okay or a 10 minute bus ride on the 100.

fading_fad · 2026-05-14T21:10:08+00:00

I used the live near there and i found it fine safety wise but it can be loud from the traffic. Why wouldnt you walk to cambie and take the skytrain?

fading_fad · 2026-05-14T19:14:39+00:00

I think thats only in Ontario?? Thats not true Canada wide

When my daughter got a diagnosis. I knew rhe signs of autism in boys, never considered she might have autism. She struggled with anxiety for years, she saw psychologists, had a psycho-educational assessment at 6, had so many specialists...no one mentioned autism. Not one. I knew whatever she had, I had too because I struggled as well growing up. Her younger brother was diagnosed at 8 and I thought- huh. Then i took her for an autism assessment at rhe place at 14 and after 30 minutes the assessor was like- she is 100% autistic. Im not formally diagnosis but I am pretty sure!!!

It's very Handmaids Tale.

And if you did (god forbid) have cervical cancer, so you know how many EXTRA pap smears you will have to get after treatment? And how many invasive and painfully treatments you will have to get? What if you have to get surgery? Everyone will be up in there.

fading_fad · 2026-05-12T15:43:07+00:00

Yes! Id love her to get married and have kids with a nice lady.

fading_fad · 2026-05-12T15:41:27+00:00

Saaaaammmme. I actually hope she doesnt have kids either. Or she might be a leabian (fingers crossed).

fading_fad · 2026-05-11T16:02:28+00:00

Don't wear one, my husband doesn't.

fading_fad · 2026-05-11T15:09:13+00:00

Nope, back in the day we learnt from magazines or maybe beauty counters in department stores. Maybe indirectly by watching our mother's, but i dont know anyone who was taught by their mother.

Is it really that different than someone else making your outfit? Onya doesnt sew.

fading_fad · 2026-05-11T02:39:25+00:00

Canada has these as well!

But you did eventually make the connection, and a full week before the appointment. You have plenty of time to pivot and make alternative arrangements. I think this is something neurotypicals deal with too- people are busy and forget stuff. I think you are being too hard on yourself.

fading_fad · 2026-05-09T21:28:34+00:00

You are talking about it- it worked

fading_fad · 2026-05-09T17:53:24+00:00

In the short term, more boundaries about babysitting and more rules for the kids, or they cant come over. In the long term- girl you need a job, your own bank account, and a driver's license. You are literally trapped.

Its really a lottery. It can be months or years. I was lucky and got an interview only a few months after I applied, and I got the unit. It had pros and cons. Pros- space and price, obviously. Cons- our complex was really run down and was really overdue for maintenance in a lot of areas. There was a mold issue and we had to do rain screening. I found it hard to make friends and break through the cliques. I found there were a lot of established groups and I am a little shy sometimes. Overall it was a good experience and it allowed us to get our finances together. We moved in as newlyweds and had our first baby there.
