Thick with the ‘tism – ASD Social Space

I was surprised that the moth orchid even flowered this year @Adge after all this time

hello @Andarna , @Toast89 , @tyme , @Jynx , @Adge 

@Adge , how are you going with your diagnosis 

[Adge]

Hi @Shaz51 How are you?

I haven't thought much about my Autism Diagnosis, in the past week or so.

It's okay, I will educate myself some more (at some point) about what that means for me etc.

I had major Computer issues, bought new Computer - Then new computer was not set up right & was missing all my essential files (after paying all that $$).

Then I lost my Job last Friday (just 5 days ago) - Because Employer said he was only interested in receiving the Wage Subsidy (from Fed Gov) for having me.

He had no interest in giving me an on-going Job (continuing) after the Wage Subsidy period (3 months) ended.

So am in a bit of shock still, especially being so close to Christmas.

$$ is now very tight - Just when I wanted to buy Hamper Presents & send to Mum & all my Brothers.....

I'm sorry to hear this @Adge . 

It must be so tough. Tough enough to make you feel numb.

I'm here if you want a chat.

Hey @Shaz51 

I'm better today than yesterday that's for sure, been reasonably productive too which I think is very important for me.

Thanks for checking in. Hows about you?

Hi @Jynx I just saw your response through my email notifications just now and I want to say thank you so much for referring me to here. I may have came across this space a while ago before but have never paid any attention to it nor have I've felt the need to come onto this space haha 🙂 

And now I'll be actively using this space to interact on here too from now on. 

Yeah, so I have a session with my peer worker from SANE tomorrow evening and I'm kinda looking forward to it. I'm also lowkey looking forward to volunteering tomorrow morning, even though tomorrow's gonna be hot again as always -.-

[Jynx]

@Blackcloud Yay!! I am keen to keep the convo flowing hehe

Oh nice, it's always good when we feel like we can look forward to sessions hey!! And what do you do for volunteering? I feel you may have spoken about it before but of course the sieve I have instead of proper memory is broken again 😅
