Your friend refers to LGBTQIA as referring to “aspects of non-cisgendered life” and it makes me doubt their understanding of the community because there are plenty of cisgendered people within the community…less the obvious exceptions.

Also autism symptoms can overlap and it would be extremely hard to find a label for your specific combinations of symptoms.

LGBTQIA+ started as separate communities that came together. ASD is already one community, it didn’t start as disparate communities based on a single set of extremely varied symptoms.

The closer answer is “Neurodivergent” encompassing ASD, ADHD, and others. ASD is accurate whereas neurodivergent is the umbrella term.

Everything changed. You’re not crazy. If you watch movies made before the 2000s about office culture, including the movie 9 to 5, you can see that the hours included a lunch break. Which was paid.

Yes, those of the older generation had it easier in every way.

They mean your post is poorly written and hard to parse.

I grew up non-christian in a small town. It was bad.

Jesus fucking christ the people you met in college were animals.

Does it have to be alive? We dissected dogfish in college.

Does a quiz count as an exam?

I feel so bad downvoting you but I haven’t either, I don’t know how. I thought it was just something the instance owner could do.

That’s awesome man! I’m sorry for whatever made you hit your out of pocket max but I’m glad you’re planning to take full advantage of this gravy train.

Referrals AND a new patient appointment in less than 3 months? You’re dreaming.

Yes. Wigs are sweltering hot, sweaty, and itchy. I’ve only worn synthetic though. I’ve heard human hair wigs are better but not by much.

You can get used to it or suffer through based on how sensitive you are.

Depending on the balding pattern she may tolerate toppers and other hair pieces rather than a full wig, which may be more comfortable.

I just was rejected from 5 jobs in a row. I straight up asked how I could have been a more competitive candidate. I got some specific feedback about software I didn’t know (fair), an answer on a questionnaire that was milquetoast (also fair), but mostly kind things said. They’re not going to drag you but it can be a productive conversation.

It was gross back then too. In the 90s the Coasties would trawl the junior high girls. 25 year old men “dating” 13 year olds. We all knew it was gross as fuck and not okay but small town cops didn’t give a fuck. Hell there was a deputy “dating” a 16 year old too.

It wasn’t looked at differently in the 90s.

A guy in my class knocked up a 14 year old during senior year and we basically all stopped talking to him because fucking ew, dude.

Jesus fucking christ is it just open season on women all the time there?!

The Ace Ventura sequel, When Nature Calls. My gooey adolescent brain ate it up and it is one of the few movies from my childhood where I can set aside everything I’ve learned and just enjoy it.

I academically know it’s bad and wildly problematic, I’m not blind, but nostalgia can be pretty powerful.

Yeah and in that movie those gals had a paid lunch hour WITHIN that 9-5 timeframe. Can you imagine? Damn that would be nice.

Every place I’ve ever worked most people who worked 8s worked 8-5 with a 1 hour unpaid lunch. In fact, 8-5 is what is considered business hours in my industry.

Lol good catch. It was totally on purpose and not swipe being swipe. Yep.

This is the modem equivalent format for an ancient dirty joke. Back in the day kids you could find collections of them in printed books, and later, entire websites solely dedicated to hosting thousands of dirty jokes. They were presented in story format, often happening to your cousin’s friend.

Not saying no one had ever had this happen to them in the history of mankind. But this is also an old dirty joke that is probably more commonly repeated than acted out.
