I just got my results back after days of testing from the psychologist and she diagnosed me with level 2 autism and adhd with generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. I am struggling to understand how level 2 autism could have been missed all my life- I'm 31 years old. I am heartbroken that I didn't receive proper help growing up despite my mother trying very hard, taking me to professionals all my life to try to get answers as to what was happening with me. It was very overwhelming and has been quite a lot to digest.

She was going over all my test results in great detail with me and she eventually reached the iq test, which I didn't want to take in the first place and was extremely upset when I found out I was taking it. All my life I've been told by teachers, peers, family, associates etc that my intelligence level was well above average and as silly as it sounds it's something that means so much to me and is a core part of my identity and sense of self. She told me my intelligence was average except I think one section that I scored higher in and it completely shattered me and I have not stopped crying since she told me. I have always struggled with self-esteem and had low confidence all my life but my intelligence is something I've always felt secure about and has been the one thing l've taken great pride it. I feel like she just destroyed the last piece of my identity I had left after finding out so much about myself today and I don't know where to go from here.

How can everyone that's known me all my life have been so sure I was highly intelligent, teachers and counselors, and then the iq test shows I'm average intelligence? I feel heartbroken, can anyone explain this to me?

My boy was limping and I took him in for X-rays and was told he likely had a sprain. Fast forward to two days ago and he was shaking nonstop in his back legs that made his whole body shake. Redid X-rays and his knee was dislocated on Xray and then popped back. I was told it’s grade 2 patellar luxation.

He seems to be in pain considering the shaking but otherwise seems somewhat okay. He still eats (he has ibd so sometimes doesn’t want to eat) and wants to play occasionally and walks normally without a limp but the shaking is so upsetting and I am convinced he’s in pain.

Have any of you had a dog with patellar luxation that shook in the legs like this? If so what helped? He has ibd, primary glaucoma, and microvascular dysplasia of the liver and is on Prozac so I have to be very careful with medications. I don’t know what kind of pain meds to give- thinking we’re going to try galliprant but what has worked for you guys? Anyone’s pup taken galliprant or pain meds with ibd and not had gut problems? I feel so bad for him, my heart is broken and he’s been going through it. He’s only 3.5 years old. Any advice is so greatly appreciated 💕

I am looking to buy a claw machine with the double tap feature on alibaba and I know nothing about the site. Can anyone explain to me what to look for that would indicate it’s a genuine or scam listing? Or what to ask a seller to verify they’re legit? Or does anyone have claw machine recommendations that they’ve personally bought? Thanks in advance
