I may be remembering this wrong (I frequently do), but I think that’s something that’s a grey area for the National Archives because they’ve never really had to deal with this before.

I think a surprisingly large number of people don’t get that.

But I bet he calls his wife “mother”.

That reminds me of my “scrapbook” I “kept” as a kid. We traveled a lot, so my mom gave my brother and me scrapbooks to save momentos in.

I think your students were lucky to have you :)

I think my mom is like you - she’s incredibly on top of things and uber-organized, but I think it’s a way she’s compensated because her attention span is complete garbage and she constantly says stuff before thinking about it.

It’s worth looking into. If you’re not able to (or don’t want to) see a professional for testing, I’d google Sari Solden (I think that’s how she spells it) - she’s a specialist in ADHD in females and it might help you get more of a sense if it still resonates with you.

“Doesn’t work up to her potential” was on every single report card I got. And then on some performance reviews too.

Not having $200 or $500 for an ambulance ride isn’t exactly “cheaping out”. Not everyone has credit cards or savings.

My parents were both school teachers and my symptoms were so classic, that when I first got diagnosed I was resentful that no one thought to test me (instead of just telling me I wasn’t working to my potential). It was like I was mourning for the person I could have been. (I worked through it)

Right?! People always are so down on labels or calling something a disability, but I found my diagnosis really liberating.

I was having a really hard time concentrating at work to the point that I was on probation (I’d managed to do pretty well until then) and my housemate at the time was diagnosed and mentioned that he thought the list of symptoms described me.

I love this. Especially since so many people (*whooping cough* *anti-vaxxers* *whooping cough*) don’t seem to recognize autism is in a spectrum and view it as worse than death.

I experienced similar with ADHD (which I think is considered “on the spectrum”)

I live in San Diego too. Now I’m off to check the seed packet that Bastyr hands out to patients.

I don’t get how someone let them in their car, but I feel like if she was well enough to arrange an uber pickup, she was well enough to call 911 or ask someone to call on her behalf. I don’t get how that’s on SoulCycle.

I would hazard a guess that there are, but they don’t feel comfortable leaving the department’s closet. :-/

I’m the same way.

I’m so sorry.

If only there’d been some way to have known he was a liar before the election.
