The world seems grim right now with Covid, Brexit, endless atrocities, and my cold, uncaring birth family are going to the extreme to prove they don't give two hoots about me.
Is there anything nice we can discuss? e.g. I'm so happy that All Creatures Great and Small and The Great British Bake Off are coming back in the next few weeks. Also Strictly Come Dancing. Lots of silly shows to distract us.
Maybe this is a thread for people who have had enough, to come and talk about lighter, happier subjects.
The brightest light in my universe just now is my ASC assessment yesterday went really well.
I was extremely anxious before, but it was a great experience and the assessor was ASC herself.
It was quite cathartic, and she prompted memories that had not surfaced for decades.
Ooh! That's good!
What's ASC? Autistic Spectrum something?
Condition - I thought it was the new more positive sounding Disorder... but no idea where I heard that. I just checked DSM though - still ASD there.
What a good idea!
We have a private senco who makes the D into difference
I always say ASC and always correct anyone who says disorder.
