I got offered a generalist expert role starting 70/hr. Im so nervous about it and I havent finished the onboarding or taken the test.

I’ve been making 12/hr doing various jobs on other sites. the sudden offer is freaking me out. how do you make the jump mentally?

also are we allowed given the confidentiality agreement, to work in public spaces like coffee shops? I dont wanna get kicked for something like that

I’ve had horrible experiences with this company over the course of the last year and I’d like to share them here because this company is greedy and disorganized and TRULY does not care about its customers.

Not only does the product eat your credits because they don’t roll-over and they charge unreasonable prices for mid-tier generations at best, but the company is HORRIBLE to their customers. They send out notifications to you when you arent actively subscribed saying they are going to delete your entire library of creations if you dont resubscribe.

They dont let you delete your payment method and because of this I got charged for an extra months subscription. I asked them for a refund because this was an issue on their end. They completely ignored my first email and so I sent another one because I wasn’t going to let them pull this bs and they said refunding credits wasn’t possible. The absolute nerve! I put up with their poor treatment for a year but no more. 0 stars. Horrible company

I'd like to know how adhd medications affected the people here, whether it was drastic or subtle or none at all and how. I'm curious to know your stories and what the medication allowed you to be able to do in life.

I'm personally in med trials and the dose is too low to tell what effects medication will have on me. The wait of the titration process can be particularly frustrating, as I'm sure many of you can relate to. Not knowing whether or not I will be able to pursue my goals in life, based entirely off whether or not a medication works, can be a pretty trying and lonely experience at times. Your experiences would help fill the information gap. thanks

anyone found any tricks for helping with low processing speed in conversations? Your thoughts are much appreciated!

Thought I’d treat myself today and get a nice drink at the bar. He spent like way too long looking at my id and then asked if I was over 21 after he dropped off my drink. Bruh I practically have crows feet. I guess peter pan syndrome hit me for real

TLDR: Fairly certain my therapist has been bullying me for being autistic. He helped confirm he thought I was autistic right before my diagnosis about a year ago. Once I got my diagnosis confirmed and was in need of support, he proceeded to set a “boundary” that forbid me from talking about autism at all. This was highly confusing to me and it felt as though he was attempting to prevent me from discovering this piece of me. It caused a lot of damage considering the vulnerability of that period of the acceptance process.

He clearly had ableist viewpoints of autism, one time giving me a look of disgust and made a comment about furries, as if they were the only thing he associated autistic people with and were this awful thing that justified his ableism. He treated the other ND therapists at the clinic like he was above them despite having an ADHD diagnosis of his own. I genuinely believe he started denying my diagnosis BECAUSE one of the ND therapists told him I was ND. He eventually made me feel like I had to choose between him and the other therapist, not for HIPAA reasons, but because he started acting jealous and the bad blood became apparent.

The hypocritical part was that he was the first to help diagnose me and proudly stated that he used to diagnose autistic people clinically. He wrote “autism ruleout” on my chart for the prior 6 months!!! But then spent the following year after I got diagnosed denying that I was autistic at all. I felt crushed by this. I felt the need to go to ANOTHER psychologist just to reconfirm my own clinical diagnosis because of the way he treated me and gaslit me.

Being treated like this during the aftermath and burnout of diagnosis put me in a depression which made it harder to leave and impossible to go somewhere else. Eventually when I worked up the courage to do it nearly 8 months later and said I was leaving, he told me I had no friends and genuinely acted like he had no idea what was going on every time I tried to tell him about the things that were upsetting me. In the same appointment he practically begged me to stay, promising me all the things I came to him for YEARS AGO and acted like he was suddenly capable of doing all of it. -The irony in that is that autism explains all of those problems, and so anything he would have done would only continue to cause harm, and serves to highlight the emptiness of those promises.

I guess I’m writing this post to process this because he was a person I looked up to as a role model for the three years I saw him. I didn’t recognize his bullying and felt helpless to act against it when I did. I am having a hard time thinking about how this person has been practicing for 10 years after his phd and still has this damaging approach to autistic clients and such a limited ability to care about them. I hate to think about the autistic clients he has gaslit out of ever getting diagnosed because of his own ablism.

I try to talk about my interests and try to make friends but then they ask simple questions like “what was the name of that musical?” when I’m talking about the musical I was in, or “what is the name of that game?” when I’m talking about a game I’ve been enjoying, and for the life of me I cannot remember it and it makes me look like a liar. Please tell me someone else has it this bad. It makes it real tough to make friends when you cant remember anything! Pretty sure the overwhelm of talking to new people makes things much more difficult
