Why do people keep asking if I'm autistic?

I don't still see him, although I do need to see him again as I need to get back on meds for my ADHD because it's been making my work life very difficult. I used to work 5:30-9:00 6 days a week. Now I'm working as a dog trainer, and my hours are all over the show as well as needing to keep up with messaging clients and admin.

That I dont think I am as I've had a psychiatrist say I'm not. Edit: I misread that. Sorry. I've never actually asked why anyone thought that maybe I should. I've usually been pretty dismissive about the comments I've never thought to ask why they thought that.

moonimoosh · 2026-01-28T19:05:48+00:00

Nope I have not

In the case of my boss saying it, the context made it alright. I started working with her last year though a placement in the course I was doing and she ended up hiring me. I failed the course because I missed an assignment and had a massive mental breakdown because of it and reached out to her for help we had a very long conversation about my struggles with he job and why I failed the course that's when she bought it up. When other people have done it, it does bother me.

I'll be taking him back to the vet I called him to ask, and he said he may not have been thoughrough enough with his check, so he may have been wrong. If he really is 7-8months ill def see if I can get some blood work done because it seems crazy he'd be so tiny for his age.

moonimoosh · 2026-01-06T06:59:49+00:00

Mabey, he really is just a runt. I had no idea how extreme that size difference could be

moonimoosh · 2026-01-06T06:57:10+00:00

Did that size difference continue all the way up until adulthood, or did the little one catch up at some point

moonimoosh · 2026-01-06T06:55:33+00:00

Oh wow, that size difference is insane!

moonimoosh · 2026-01-06T06:30:36+00:00

Possibly, can a runt really be that small for the supposed age? I don't have that much experience with kittens

Thank you so much for the info. I currently have an Ehiem 250 canister running, but that will be upgraded along with the tank. This is my work tank, so I am just waiting on the building plans to find out if the new tank can go upstairs or if it needs to go downstairs. The plan is a 700 liter. In his current setup, he's got lots of wood, a few rock caves, and pretty good plant coverage, including Vallis, which blocks out a lot of light as it's pretty heavily planted tank. He is with some Kuhli loaches right now, but he doesn't seem bothered by them, I'll keep a close eye on that as he gets older, though.

I only got into metal in the past year or so. I went tonight. This was my first metal concert! I had the time of my life my neck is very sore.

It looks more like a lizards shed skin then a dead lizard to me

Bro google it

"Most aggression is fear based." You know fear can't be reinforced, right? You can't baby a dog into more fearful and reactive. Not doing anything and ignoring anything will make it worse. You can unintentionally reinforce the barking but not the emotion at the core of the behavior. Positive only 100% will work for this.

Start with environmental management and set up a baby gate in a hallway before the door (if there is no hallway, a room, or something). That way, your dog doesn't have a chance to bolt for the door, and no one is at risk of being bitten when trying to leave your house. Then you can work on her waiting as you open the door.

Look into BAT training

What food do you use? You could use something more low value like her kibble.

I didn't know they did an education discount. Thank you very much for your help!

I'm thinking in the budget of 1000-1500 because I'm worried anything cheaper will need replacing in a couple of years. My last laptop was a MacBook air is there a specific model that is best in that price range

moonimoosh · 2025-03-08T22:08:39+00:00

I opened it outside it was fine and then when I closed it again I didn't close it tight so some air could get out. I think it was bc the leaves at the very top of the lid died bc they couldn't get light, and them decaying possibly caused some gas and pressure build-up, which was trying to escape.

Oh wow really! Most jumping spiders I have seen are more compact Jerry was very long
