So, given that we suspect our #autistic 8yo is #OCD as well as #PDA, and every service/waiting list/alleged professional that could help has thus failed to meet or accommodate us: how long on average until one of us gets arrested, sectioned, or hospitalised?

I just wanna know what to expect, for once.

"So began the washing of money. With liquid soap and scalding water, wearing rubber gloves. It was so onerous that he stopped accepting $1 bills as change, leaving them on the counter."

Me:
I'm going to run out and pick up some groceries, and run some errands, maybe I'll take the dogs for a walk when I get back.. I'll change my sheets and put another load of washing on, and then I have a bit of uni work to do as well..

Also me:
hmm. no.

I keep breaking shit. Literally and metaphorically. And then I want to feel better, so I run to some other shit. And then I break that too because I'm impatient and distracted by my feelings of loss from the last thing.

I'm trying to escape this cycle with video games (possibility of success without possibility of meaningful failure)... but Veilguard is making it hard to give a shit.

My OCD is flaring up.
I listed some technical books on eBay 4 months ago and one finally sold in the early hours.
I've just packed it and now I want to open the parcel again to check there is nothing inside the book, e.g. a piece of notepaper.

I know I checked it before listing it on eBay last year, so there can't be anything inside. But I'm struggling to fight the urge to check, which would cause a lot of work packing it up again.

Ist es nicht schön, dass username und password genau gleich lang sind?
Ich glaube deswegen heißt eine solche Variable bei mir auch nie user. Abgesehen davon, dass es ja auch nicht der Benutzer als solcher ist sondern nur der Name davon.

I mean, this is funny.. but also I spent my therapy session last week talking about how I think WW3 has already started.. so...

Also finding a psychologist who deals with me as an Aboriginal person living under settler colonialism has been ground breaking for my mental health. Definitely recommend.
