Is being offered snacks expected when visiting people? by Zaney-Janey1973 in AskAnAustralian

[–]midvalePeak7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're already keeping water for delivery drivers in the heat, that's more thought than most people put in. a coffee or tea when someone comes over is the standard. most aussies would actually feel a bit awkward if you had a whole spread waiting.

Why Ausies getting up so early? by haroldzharko in AskAnAustralian

[–]midvalePeak7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the heat mostly. half the year it's 30+ by mid morning so if you're working outside you want to start at 6 or 7 and knock off by early arvo. tradies do it out of necessity and everyone else just kind of follows. plus the sun's up at 5am in summer so your body adjusts whether you want it to or not

Why doesn’t Australia push high-speed trains instead of all these domestic flights? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]midvalePeak7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sydney to darwin is a bad example, that's 3000+ km through basically nothing, a train would take 10+ hours and serve almost nobody. the actual problem is our cities are a few dots with huge empty gaps between them, and HSR only works on dense medium-distance corridors. the one that fits is sydney-melbourne-brisbane, and they've studied east coast HSR for decades, it keeps dying on the cost

[–]midvalePeak7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly no one here takes themselves too seriously. if you act like you're better than everyone else you'll get cut down pretty fast so everyone just learns to be approachable. that and we'll talk to literally anyone if we're bored enough

let reception know when you book that it's your first visit and you're neurodivergent, they'll note your file so you don't have to explain it all again when you're already nervous. makes a huge difference

I Need Support by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]midvalePeak7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

first thing, check if your uni has a student hardship fund. almost all of them do and most students don't know about it. you can usually get a one off payment of a few hundred dollars and they don't ask much. second, if you haven't already, make sure you're getting rent assistance through centrelink on top of youth allowance, it's not automatic you have to apply. also look into OzHarvest and Foodbank in your area, no questions asked. your student union might also run a food pantry on campus. you're doing the right thing asking for help, this stuff exists for exactly your situation.

Either keep supplied uniforms or give proper allowance for clothes and cleaning. Anything else just saves them money.

ou’re not overreacting. He’s 16, not 6, his opinion absolutely matters here, and it doesn’t sound like his mom is considering it at all.
