  • RE: Acceptance or giving up?

    From your description, it sounds more like the technology you've used, doesn't allow for edge cases when it's used differently (e.g. Autistic mind) it breaks. After years of that, I found that Apple products are the best for Autism accomodations…

  • RE: What's the point? (Useless / Gimmicky Things)

    It's just FOMO, making money off fancy new tech that is obsolete soon after and goes to a landfill pretty fast. It's like Apple releasing a new iPhone every year for £1,000. Does anyone need it? No. Does peer pressure make people waste their money, anyway…

    With Fruit, yes, even more when I have enough apple/plum/pear trees to be classed as an orchard (5…

  • RE: Advice on my plan

    exactly, don't let the bad apple spoil it for the genuine people. I just didn't reply. To reply is to legitimise, better to ignore it ..... as my dear old ma used to say, if you haven't got anything nice to say, better to not say anything at all!…

  • RE: Health worries limited diet

    My suggestions may be overly simplistic, and if so please don't take offence as I have no experience of eating disorders and am coming at the problem only from my experiences of having had teenage daughters, but perhaps taking her shopping with you and…
