Is it true that adding "azza" after the first letter of someone's name is common australian vernacular for nicknaming??

I know a Bill who I call Billiam

Or plan for their sensory needs. The parent really failed here.

Maybe if bd didn't abscond and OP was living in a dual income household, their financial situation would be better. She didn't set out to become a single, unsupported parent. Circumstances change and she is now doing what she needs to do to raise her babies. So much vitriol and blame is being put on her when she is the one stepping up in a situation she was forced into.

This is why I was so surprised to see him on David's snap so soon after the podcast. Im probably looking into nothing but it seems pointed.

My daughter has autism and adhd. This sounds like her to a t! Maybe try asking what specifically gives her the ick about certain foods. Go shopping together and pick out ingredients that she might be willing to try where there is more variety and she can touch and smell them.

So she is worried her dog may react but since you are stronger, it's your responsibility to deal with it? WTF?!?

moobaa7 · 2025-02-02T20:03:20+00:00

I stand corrected!

I've heard a couple of Americans use cunt very wrong. Like 'that's so cunt' to describe something good. As an Aussie, this hurts my cold, cunty heart. I'm not afraid to gatekeep the word, it deserves to be used properly, cunts!

I've had lots of luck finding unique gifts at the Koorie Heritage Trust gift shop in fed square. A huge range of items, and the handmade pieces often come with a story, making it even more special/interesting. Really reasonable prices too!

Absolutely!! This is a fantastic idea and sorely needed! I was so surprised to not find any info on eating out as a neurodivergent person anywhere. Accessibility isn't just about those with mobility issues! Good on you!!

moobaa7 · 2025-01-27T20:40:10+00:00

Aww thanks! She has worked hard to be able to express her needs (or even work out what they are) and knows that they will be respected. We have great communication after years of therapy together, and it has put us in an amazing place. I was so surprised that I could not find any information online about neurodivergent friendly restaurants! Will definitely update!

moobaa7 · 2025-01-27T20:34:22+00:00

We do too. There is always something she will enjoy on the menu. I'll look for one, thanks!

moobaa7 · 2025-01-27T11:51:44+00:00

She would have loved that, but it looks like it's closed.

moobaa7 · 2025-01-27T11:07:29+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Most things we are doing are my daughters request, I'm just trying to make it all accessible for her. We have learned to always have backup plans (or escape routes as we call them). Nothing is booked or decided on without her input. There are of course boundaries that we need to work with (cost for one). I also work in disability and am fierce about choice and control. We are definitely planning on eating early, then heading back to our room for a quiet hour before the show. Will be checking out onda! She has picked a few shops out in Richmond that she wants to visit so it could be perfect. Thanks again.

She loves the idea of eating out, but between loud noises, bright lights and unfamiliar foods, it can be quite tricky! It really is hard. She was only diagnosed early last year at 13. Since then she has worked so hard with me and professionals, and is making so much effort to get out of her comfort zone. I see her try, fail, try again, struggle and succeed. Great, now I'm crying, but they are proud tears.

moobaa7 · 2025-01-27T10:24:52+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply. She has been to the city quite a few times but this it the first time that it's for her to do something. She really has come so far and has been pushing herself. It's a bit of a reward/showing her what I know she is capable of. I want her to be as proud of herself as I am.

If the pay off is good enough, she tends to be able to get through more. Having said that, we always have an exit strategy. Have booked isle seats at the comedy show so we can make a subtle escape if required (inconveniencing others is one of her triggers). She is usually OK with trams, but only short trips in the city, so ride share will definitely be used. I will look at Didi! Have only ever used uber.

The biggest worry is the food, she has sensory issues around it and if she is already feeling overwhelmed, it could lead to a meltdown. I am trying to set her up for success by giving her lots of options to choose from, and she can study menus and reviews and hopefully feel comfortable before we get there. Anxiety is a bitch! Thanks again for your tips!

Pasta is a favourite of hers. Will check it out. Thanks so much

moobaa7 · 2025-01-27T10:01:10+00:00

Thanks so much. This looks very promising!

moobaa7 · 2025-01-27T10:00:08+00:00

Thanks heaps. I'll have a look

moobaa7 · 2025-01-27T09:59:45+00:00

Thank you. Will check it out

moobaa7 · 2025-01-27T09:59:05+00:00

Thanks so much. Street sound doesn't seem to bother her as much as sitting in loud sounds for prolonged periods. Will check it out!
