What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

@MissGremlin sorry to hear that things have been rough for you. i'm not doing that great right now. was thinking about if i had actual friends that actually cared about me as an autistic person, that i wouldn't need to worry about relying on support workers and having to pay NDIS funds for that when I wish i had friends that were there for there instead. i ranted about this in one of the discord server spaces yesterday, but literally no one gave a sh!t. so im upset. why do people not care about others suffering ?? they only care if that person is your friend, but not when they're not your friend.

@Taali hi friend <3 yeah i haven't active on here these days. i used to be active before until the current system changes, but i aim to come here every now and then. yayyy i'm glad to see you too <3 ohh damn i really wish you luck on that and hopefully you can get the outcome that you deserve!! i had to deal with them myself two years ago because of a scamming related issue. it wasn't easy and it was exhausting for sure but thankfully i was able to get the outcome i wanted a few months after. i'm rooting for you 🤞🏼💗💗

yeah i've been fine thank you.

@Blackcloud sorry to hear that you're not doing that great sweet. I can understand around wanting to have friends that care about you. I'm very much the same, I only have 1 friend that I actually physically see. I'm sorry that you felt like noone cared in the discord server, that would have been hurtful. Sending you hugs sweetheart ❤️.

@MissGremlin yeah it would mean a lot if someone cared and if I had actual friends in my life rather than paid support (like support workers). I currently talk to one of the mods there now and then.

I don’t know if you’re aware of the current NDIS changes that were announced recently but this is part of why I wished I had informal supports in my life.

On the bright side, I’m currently seeking for employment through the supported employment programs that different organisations offer so that I can hopefully gain employment that’s suitable for my needs and circumstances + earn a bit of bucks on the side. I hope I can do it and get there, fingers crossed.

Hi @Blackcloud good to see you

I have highlights this week

Zac Butters Chose my Bulldogs as his preferred destination club

Earlier in the week, my doctor switched over an acme wonder pill (That's sarcasm, not a brand, and road runner reference, it just does a bit of everything... moods, migraines, seizures, deficits of schizophrenia) and that's going well

Thursday therapy went well, very productive

@Blackcloud can completely understand sweet. Hope you find work that's suitable for you, I'll keep my fingers crossed ❤️.

Hi @MissGremlin you're always so kind to us all here. I really hope you know how much you are valued. @Blackcloud I'm so sorry that you're feeling let down. You can be assured that you are not only cared for but understood here. Trust me when I say that we all struggled with the "improvement" to our forums.

@DogMan79 I'm so glad that Zac chose the doggies as his preferred option. True to his roots!

Go gently my friends, Taali 💙

Hello @Taali sweet, thankyou for your kind words ❤️.

@Chasingsunsets

Thanks for keeping me in the loop and tagging me! 😊 I’m sorry I’ve been a bit quiet lately. Things have been a little tough on my end, but I managed to get to the beach this Friday since I had the day off. It felt so good to feel the water on my toes and walk by the shore after such a long time. I hope you’re doing well, my friend!

"@Blackcloud I'm so sorry that you're feeling let down. You can be assured that you are not only cared for but understood here. Trust me when I say that we all struggled with the "improvement" to our forums."

yeah, ever since the changes occurred I haven't been receiving any email notifications from people tagging me like I used to before all this happened so it makes it hard for me to be active. But also, not only that, I just don't simply have the capacity to engaging much on here these days like I did before. 😊
