My 7 year old daughter is most likely autistic (I am) and has a very literal way of thinking which sometimes differs quite a bit from her peers. Over the last month, on two separate occasions, she’s said something that’s really worried me and I don’t really know how to deal with it without making it worse.

She struggles a lot with waiting for things and gets impatient. But a few weeks ago during bedtime, she told me that she is so tired of waiting for everything and wants to be in heaven but is worried about how long she’ll have to wait, and she wants to die now. I gently probed her on what she meant, and she told me that she finds everything really hard and frustrating, but at school she learned about how amazing heaven is and how everything is perfect, and she wants to be there now and not have to wait anymore. She doesn’t want to keep finding things hard, when she could be in heaven instead.

I talked to her about all the nice things she can look forward to while she’s here, but she kept coming back to the point of how hard it is waiting.

I let it slip out of my mind over the past few weeks, but at bedtime again today she said to me something else. She said that when she’s talking or playing she is busy thinking about what she’s going to say next, or what she’s doing in her game. But when it’s bedtime, her brain isn’t busy and she thinks about lots of things that “aren’t good things”. I asked what she meant and she told me she thinks about when she’s going to die and if she can go to heaven yet.

Honestly it’s really scared me. She is a really bright, emotionally intelligent kid, but she struggles a lot with overthinking, and is very anxious. I’m scared that on two occasions now, this has come up at bedtime. I worry about saying anything that makes it worse.

Does anyone have any advice on how best to deal with this?

Hi! I’ve been using Hevy since February when I started lifting. At the time, there was no trap bar deadlift on the app, so I was logging these as a barbell deadlift.

I’ve just spotted that at some point over the last few weeks, trap bar deadlifts have been added as an exercise on the app (woohoo!!). I’ve gone through and manually changed my past records over to the new exercise.

However, it’s got me thinking… I spotted the addition by sheer luck. Is there a way to list exercises by when they were added, to make new ones easier to find??

Hi plumbers! Can anyone please advise as Google is giving me conflicting answers…

[England]
4 years ago we renovated our Victorian home, which included 2 bathrooms, kitchen, utility, and installing central heating from scratch. The plumbers installed all radiators and pipe work. They brought in a separate person to do the connection to the new oil boiler.

We ended on quite bad terms with the plumber (his behaviour towards other workmen on site was aggressive), but he did complete the job before we parted ways.

However, I’ve now noticed that he never registered the work with building regs. The boiler was registered by the third party, but the remaining plumbing work (2 x full bathrooms, radiators and heating system, general pipe work) never got listed.

I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt that it was a genuine oversight, and I contacted him on Friday to make him aware, but haven’t heard back.

Is this something that can be corrected 4 years later? I.e if it was a genuine oversight, can it be registered this late?

And if not (or if he didn’t register because it ended on poor terms), is this likely to have any major impact when we come to eventually sell? We have no immediate desire to, but I am autistic and tend to worry about all eventualities… I have the quote and invoices which specifically mention building regs would be completed.

Thanks in advance for any insight

It’s about how a man spotted a car in a lake on Google Earth and identified the doe inside. Really amazing to see and thought it might be of interest to this community
