Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Hi @chookmojo

When I write : 5 minute space I may have been writing of my own ...... Self ........ I can't take too much in and always need 5 minutes to let my mind re connect with what's happening.

Can't remember everything but that something you are ' diagnosed with' is Autistic spectrum.

But since I've known you, you seem to be highly intelligent .......

I need to just look up something you wrote about your Mum just a tic .....

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Good idea about your sweethearts ! I wish I could play with them !
This thread @Former-Member is sort of in honour of you and how we get support.
I certainly don't have enough today/tonight.

So the baby nappies is just an example of how everyone hears other people talk in Centrelink.
But once / several years ago, I did collapse in Centrelink and I got given a lot of support.

I think how you do it is be very prepared for your interview like @Chpokmojo says.

Dress nice but not flashy.
Feel good about yourself.
Don't catastrophise.

If you need to say anything talk about how things are very overwhelming but you work hard at getting support.

You are a good great woman. you are right. Things are hard for you but let forms and papers talk for you.
I also remember that If you go to Arafmi they will support you by being there at a Centrelink Appiontment ..... I think they set the interview up somehow.
Ille check tomorrow

Once I was supporting a woman and she was having a terrible time at work and she was going to appear track pants no bra. I turned up and told her off. She went to work makeup, well dressed, and the problem went her way.

Sorry @PeppiPatty that you got an uncle story ... can you understand why I might get "too" sensitive?

I dont want to be too anything ... but I do try and clarify rather than judge ... I often feel people jump to the wrong conclusions about me.

Hello @Shaz51

Lovely to see you here and there ... cheery ... but realistic

I appreciate it.

Did you know of other forums like BB?

I am not sure how much funding is required to run a forum like this.

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

Hi @Appleblossom thankyou

Yes I found BB forum a bit different to our SANE Forum, but I have not really tried other forums

I am not sure how much funding is required to run a forum like this.-- me either but that would be interesting to know

Re: Dialogue with Sane forum Forumites

I was shocked to hear they closed the BB forum down without much consultation. Hope the newbies settle in well.
