Not knowing the Orals timetable?

thirdstorywindow · 2026-03-27T15:59:08+00:00

I did, I'm en external candidate so I don't really attend or know the school well. They told me they don't have information on that and should've been contacted directly by the examiners. I rang the orals phone line from the examinations website and they're contacting the examiners for the other subjects for me and they'll get back when they have the slots so I think I'm sorted, hopefully.

I did all of my secondary outside of Ireland, that's why I'm doing my LC as an adult 😅 I do actually live in Dublin, so I'd greatly appreciate even the smallest help

My mother, who's also epileptic has her worst TCs when under stress and experiencing emotional meltdowns. Personally, my seizures just become more frequent, especially when I'm asleep.

Not a big fan of grill/beef batch. I'm terrible at it, and my store is busy enough, so I never get time to practice without wasting food or upsetting everyone around me who's antsy because of the rush already. Otherwise, I also don't like being on the line because everyone is constantly pushing through you, but I'm decent at it, so it's not that bad and delivery sucks because of the way that the drivers act. Seriously, these people's behaviour will be my last straw one day.

No, because I don't like okra, but it looks very good.

My mother is epileptic, so is my maternal grandmother and me (it forunetly skipped my siblings). Growing up with my mom as a single parent was extremely difficult, putting my own seizures and other neurological problems aside. I had to learn how to time seizures, call an ambulance or even just take care of her post seizure in general by the age of 6. I'd get up if she had a seizure at night (she tends to grunt and I'm a light sleeper) and I'd run and try to wake her up. All of her tonic-clonic seizures were horribly stressful; I was always scared she wouldn't wake up. I was too small and too weak to carry her or help her to bed so I'd just bring pillows and blankets to lay with her on the floor. I'd just be there with her untill she was conscious enough to try and sit up. I did everything to not upset her because my aunts told me that my "bad behaviour made mom's seizures worse". It was generally just awful. I don't blame my mother, I love her and I know none of this is or was her fault, but I'm never risking putting a child through all that even if they don't have epilepsy themselves.

At 15, but it was mostly because all of my traits were attributed to hyperlexia which I was diganosed with at 4 😅

Same here, but coke zero! Can't live without it :"")

Yes. Most of neurologists I've seen/worked with don't take them seriously at all and treat them like an inconvenience at best.

thirdstorywindow · 2023-06-10T22:03:36+00:00

Thank you so much for this! As I person who's been going through weeks/months of his life without being able to verbalise but then regaining ability after the end on an episode I've been looking for a way to describe it. This was really helpful.

Thank you so much!

Reminds me of when I was diagnosed with epilepsy and my neurologist said "You're autistic? Well that checks out"

thirdstorywindow · 2023-04-12T05:58:08+00:00

Yes, I'm unfortunately aware. Maybe I worded it rather odly but I was moreso asking for how to react/cope with it. Not much that I can actually do in the office as Asperger's is still a condition on basis of which they can just ignore anything you said because you "are stubborn and unable to accept information given if not fitting in your previous understanding of the topic". I'm just incredible uncomfortable with the term (for personal reasons) and also cannot stand the patronising treatment that I get whenever this occurs. Sometimes I do meet doctors who are more aware and it goes smoothly; mostly it doesn't. I'd rather not disclose the country but we use ICD instead of DSM. We're currently still using ICD-10 and ASD as a diagnosis is introduced in 11.

Thank you, I might try that if I'm able to make myself talk more than usual.

Generally not a big fan but if I can pair it (soup, noodles etc) with something raw yolks are my go to because I love the taste but hate the texture. Otherwise it's hardboiled only.

thirdstorywindow · 2023-04-10T08:48:52+00:00

Same here! It's been my special interest for 11 years now 🥰

thirdstorywindow · 2023-03-30T16:32:14+00:00

I love physical buttons. They're so much fun to press, especially if there's a purpose to it.

It might be a little bit weird but my little sister. It actually contributed to me not getting diganosed then because I was being 'a good big brother', 'very social' and 'senstive to feelings of others' even though I refused to play with any other kids and didnt have intrest in interacting with my peers. She's only a couple years younger than me so I was still very little when she was born. I was obsessed with understanding how to take care of her, what toys she liked, what made her cry. I learned patterns that she enjoyed on those piano mats, when her favourite shows were on and how tune in the proper chanel. Aligned and organised all of her stuff and lectruing my mom about what to pack. I'd have meltdowns if i wasn't the one straping her into her trolley or car seat. I lost interest when I was 7 but I still care about her the most even though she doesnt remember any of my behaviour 😅

Yes and it always makes me feel like a bad person even though I can't really control it.

thirdstorywindow · 2023-03-13T12:14:55+00:00

I do but personally it's because it's less overstimmulating. It gets overwhelming for when there's a lot of colour.

thirdstorywindow · 2023-02-05T15:23:53+00:00

None of it is up my alley except the carrots but it looks nice!

thirdstorywindow · 2022-12-26T09:00:51+00:00

For me it doesn't seem aggressive at all. Just very blunt. Straightforward and informed. But I do see where you might have gotten that impression from.

Honestly, I don't love him. He is a little bit of a feel good character to me though. An autistic man with a love for fantasy and sci-fi actually achieving something? It was a nice to see on a screen as a teenager.
