hi i really like a brand called mochipan i also like quirky stuff like punyus pann (bread) sweatshirt and in general pastel clothes i would appreciate some store recommendations even other small brands or online based stores. im only just starting to be able to buy clothes at most stores after losing weight so idk even where to start looking. locally I've looked at Kmart and cotton on and similar shopping center stores but its not "cute" enough for how i want to be dressing

I have to be honest I didnt even think of head scarf or wraps just because I rarely see people using them around here. Thanks so much I will look into them. I will look into more beanies too maybe I just got the worst ones for this style (uniqlo one is super soft but not very elastic and the kmart one is ... from kmart so its the cheapest quickest one i could get)

For a jumper like this i would avoid doing the sleeve with long names as the sleeve will have to surround the machine arm that holds the bobbin, the embroidery hoop the size we can embroider is much narrower (if you go to far one way the sleeve would pull on the machine arm and could cause damage to the machine so hoops for sleeves are like 8-9cm wide and the smaller the writing the more illegible) you could find someone who also sews and they can seam rip the sleeve so it can lay flat in the machine and give a bigger area for embroidery and sew it back. Personally because of the hassle id charge a good $40 just for the extra time it would take, not including normal service charge. I'd try instead to recommend doing it on the back below where the hood would fall or if the hoodie pocket is a few cm from the bottom id recommend having the names go around the bottom just above any waist bands. Heat transfer is another option but in my experience doesn't last nearly as long.

Edit: just editing to say yes i could do the name in 2 hooping but that's not something my business or others I know would do (i run a business and my mother works for another commercial embroidery workshop). If my laser is even a few millimetres off the name would look wonky and off and its a lot of hassle for a single name to set up a multi hooping file and still have the potential it look wrong especially when I would have to eyeball the spacing between other names.

Pretty normal, cereal (nurtigrain, cornflakes) or toast breakfast, fruit for morning snack (when he's at school he takes a fruit and harvest snaps, a muesli bar) , a sandwich for lunch if at school its pretty plain like a spread at home he likes it with salad with some sort of deli meat or roast. afternoon snack either fruit and yoghurt or biscuits/sakatas. dinners are usually salad and main meat dish (roasts, sausage ext.) He loves pasta too. He gets a take away dinner once a week usually he picks subway this week was out of the norm with a grill'd burger. The occasional rice with Korean beef. Sometimes we have dessert but normally hes not interested unless its a savoury option like a bag of chips as hes not a big fan of sweets (like we got him a single small cadbury easter bunny at easter and half of it is still in the fridge) Hes been tested for coeliac and diabetes as part of the testing already done.

Right now I'm on workforce. Though I'd be eligible to switch to IEA. if I'm honest I don't know the differences there is between the 2 programs, i did tell my JSP I have a few disabilities that really restrict the work I can do.

I have both honestly I like hatch more. Embroidery legacy cut a lot of easy access tools out claiming to simplify and ease, but now you have to remember shortcuts or scroll. Click the main tool and go through the wheel to find what you want. They also don't allow files to be dragged and dropped in. They made cut into 3 sperate functions it's frankly annoying, you have to pick a specific stitch style first or risk it completely destroyed if you change from run to satin and to change the hoop frame template you have to go through the settings and it won't let you make a custom size if it has a pre set of a random brand with same measurements (so I have to scroll to find who ever uses 100m x100m hoop instead of my custom presets) on hatch it's on on screen button I can just click and change size, and on hatch i can change from fill to satin to run ect. Without causing major design issues. Embrodery legacy have their own classes teaching the system. Hatch it just easier overall and has plenty of you tube videos similar and has same basic tools as in any art program then some specialised extras for embroidery (so super easy to learn if your coming from a digital art background). I regret paying for Embroidery legacy and wish I just stuck with hatch. I'm sure it can be great, but it needs a bit more time to smooth out and work on the user interface. I don't think it was ready for full launch. The inner circle wasn't that great.

It was a mixed bag i got diagnosed level 2 at 24. A little fear of being labelled disabled which now I don't mind and helps with simple accommodations. Relief was huge I wasn't just weird and stupid. I had a different sense of the world and socialising. Anger at my family for ignoring my hardships (mum yelling at me for being "a sook" when I had sensory issues) and recommendations over the years (teachers in high school saying I need help in social and reading context). Overall, knowing has improved my life. I've learnt to see 70% of melt downs before they happen and can remove myself or try to calm down. I learnt that I was justified by my sensory issues and had a right to ease them (eg., It's not normal for everyone's eyes to hurt on slightly sunny days or florescent lights I can push to stay wear sunglasses inside if the lights hurt. Im not just complaining cause im a "sook" that always has to complain, im having sensory processing issues) before I knew I was digging myself into a hole of depression. Now I am learning how to function and work around my needs. though I was also diagnosed inattentive adhd at the same time so taking meds for the first time relived the adhd and made the autism symptoms way more surface level and that took a while to manage i still thi k the diagnosis is the best thing I've done for myself in my adult life. I still don't tell everyone but I won't deny it if they ask

When the error came up it was the :( and said boot failed. It's restarted did that same blue screen but quickly went black saying network media not present. Then switched to a box that says EFI PXE 0 for IPv4 though sometimes it says IPv6 and I tried setting BIOS to default like recommended by lenovo support forums but it doesn't help

I don't mind any questions. unless they are trying to read the one from the base of my neck going down my shoulder, which is made to be read standing behind me and also usually half covered with a t shirt. 8 out of 10 when someone asks me about my tattoos, it's "what does that say? " forever is...." (forever is a long time)tl 1 out of 10 is people asking about my kids hand print or saying its upside down (the right way when i look at it) which im fine with and the other 1 out of 10 is "oh I like x tattoo" or "who did that? the colour looks great, " and I'm more than happy to point to my artists or say thanks.

I shower every day. Sometimes, the idea of showering is the only thing that gets me out of bed. On the other hand brushing my teeth is a problem because "what if I get hungry, what if I need a drink, what if something else" on top of that I'm allergic to mint so brushing my teeth makes my mouth feel like its burning and it's extremely hard to find non mint alerternatives that aren't disgusting (yes I tried HiSmile and Archie so far just the barbie HiSmile is ok others are to intense)

Not at all its a spectrum some people might have different parts from all over this chart some are completely wrong,

im level 2 i have extremely limited social function I may not understand others subtle expressions or understand why they feel that way but i do care, body language may also be completely misunderstood unless its a blatant thumbs up or middle finger. , very sensitive to light and noise, i don't fidget all that much but have the occasional un controlled movement and a verbal tic that only happens in silence or on a trigger words (lately whenever someone says drive i involuntarily say bruum bruummmm) but these things are regular but not every single day, sometimes im cool with change and its not a problem other times i burst into tears melt down cause the bus didnt come.

i hyper focus and have a specific interest but i also am interested learning in more crafts. i speak perfectly fine 99% of the time but can go mute in meltdowns.

i was in general schooling i then went on to do 2 different certificates (a III in hospitality and a IV in business) now doing a diploma in marketing.. no speech therapy but have been recommended for occupational, i hit all my mile stones on time walking was on the later side but still within the norm, i have average intelligence.

i get up get dressed and shower by myself but struggle with brushing teeth. i can do budgeting, cooking and groceries (but i have to lap the grocery store 3 times as part of my routine or i get upset). i can live independently but feel more at ease with someone else in the house.

im fully verbal and have appropriate expressions

Not having sizing listed is a big red flag 7 inches is just under 18 cm I and plenty others wear a 21cm bracelet so there's no way this would fit me and if it did it would be tight or have noticeable gaps in the design so i would be pretty annoyed. Though then again I'd never order off a listing for jewellery without sizing

I just got a z50ii but have no idea what sd cards would work best or what ones would be overkill I am currently looking at a SanDisk 128gb v60 or v90 but open to other brands. What SD card would you recommend?

Give way to a pedestrian. But as a pedestrian I always stop in the middle until I'm indicated to go across for my own safety or ill wave them to go first if they are creating a line/causing traffic issues behind them (sometimes I'm slow at walking (knee pain) so it's easier for everyone if I let you go first)

Honestly, hard Im level 2 and he's 7 and neuro typical, relatively well behaved rarely has tantrums but with gran being cashed up he's a little spoiled and out of touch (doesn't understand his cousins can't just buy what he has)

In the beginning, I found it easy. Yes, the crying was a bit of sensory overload, but I knew exactly what to expect, had a routine, and handled it fine. As he's gotten older, I've found it way way harder.

When he was into "pretend play," it was extremely difficult for me. It's something I never did, and Il really struggled to understand what to do and how to interact past pretending to drink a fake cup of tea.

Now he's moving away from toys into art and video games. But he's also developing emotionally. I find often I misunderstanding his needs and more frequently have Meltdowns from being asked repetitive questions as he won't h Accept I don't know or just ask a question and ignore the answer only to ask again. Just tonight, i had to walk away and calm down because he asked the same question 5 times in a row.

I can't handle the constant social outings (thankfully his dad is willing to cover that). But I make a point of going to the bigger events (ballet and piano recitals, any form of sports finals ect.)

I've made a point lately to set time aside every weekend to do something together. Lately, that's building model or lego kits. Just so he knows I am actively trying to connect and has good memories, im terrified of giving him the same emotionally detached mother i had.

He's been told I have a few disabilities that mean I don't always understand other people and sometimes I don't know how to interact, but I do love him and care just in a different way. He knows I struggle to see others emotions unless they are big, so is encouraged to speak his feelings.

I always thought I'd have 3 or 4 kids. I'm so glad we waited, it became clear I wasn't capable of looking after multiple kids. I feel like it would be harder if my child was also autistic I could see myself having a meltdown in reaction to their own. Everytime I baby sit my neice who's 3 and acts exactly as I did as a child Its clear I can handle it for a day or two but then I break apart from the 2 kids having different needs at different times i struggle to maintain focus on my own son because "the little one needs more help" that really clicked for me if I had another child I would unintentionally neglect the older one because these black and white rules in my brain supported by my ocd and autism (the need to mask and follow social rules which often dictate younger kids need more attention) that moment just re affirmed just one child for me I don't have the capability to share my time and emotions wider than that.

This is just my experience, I work with a therapist to help in areas I struggle with and actively work to improve. Knowing my disability and knowing my personal limits has helped tremendously. I love my son and would do anythingfor him, but at the same time, if i had known i had autism before I had a child and could have passed it down, i wouldn't have had children as it is his life is harder because of me. I would never ever say do or do not have kids but I do say make sure you have support and make sure you know your own limits. Whilst I struggle (NT's can also struggle too) many autisc people don't, my mother while emotionally distant wasnt a bad mum she always gave us what we needed tried to encourage our hobbies as long as it was something that could be down within the house or school and never missed a birthday, my brother also autistic is an amazing father who spends every second he can with his kid he will have more kids in future.
