So, given that we suspect our #autistic 8yo is #OCD as well as #PDA, and every service/waiting list/alleged professional that could help has thus failed to meet or accommodate us: how long on average until one of us gets arrested, sectioned, or hospitalised?

I just wanna know what to expect, for once.

Yeah, Graffiti 2 a.k.a. Jot was a result of a stupid patent suit. It was nerfed to comply with a court ruling.

I found a Wikipedia article about their non-volatile storage scheme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Volatile_File_System

I mentioned earlier that I have this weird thing where sometimes I can't do things that I need to do. I had a period of three months where I wouldn't check my payslips, even though I needed to in case I got underpaid. I have frequent periods where I can't check my emails. This is especially if I've emailed someone I'm not close to and am expecting a reply.

As example is if I received faulty goods on Ebay. I've missed out on refunds because I send the complaint, but then I actively avoid checking for a reply.

Does anyone else experience things like this? I was looking at demand avoidance: autism.org.uk/advice-and-guida

But I don't know if it's that or some weird manifestation of #anxiety. The best I can describe it is apprehension? It's hard to put a proper name to it. I get milder forms, where for instance if I need to transfer money to my savings and there's nothing stopping me, but I won't be able to do it. Then randomly I'll snap out of it and feel like I can do it. It's not procrastination or getting distracted. It's a different feeling from that.

www.autism.org.ukDemand avoidanceResistance to demands is a characteristic experienced by and observed in some autistic people. It is sometimes labelled as Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), but there is debate about the evidence for and usefulness of this label.

I won’t argue with results. It works & I love it, but why does it work?

Even though it supports HID it is still transmitting it over #Bluetooth LE and should not be compatible with a Classic Bluetooth #PDA. Whats going on here?

Looking up only the second line from the chip give us a different Cypress data sheet that lists Bluetooth 3.0!

Does this #Keyboard have a 2 in 1 chip? Both Classic and BLE for ultimate compatibility?
