How are people coping with the crisis? Let's support each-other

I avoid the news as well. its like self harm.

The covid 19 changes has had a huge effect on my life as all my day services and routines have been physically stopped,including going to the local shop once a day for a can of drink. relieing On carers they have refused to take me out to the shops,only allowing two shop visits a week,it’s triggered a lot of meltdowns and made my depression worse.

One of my day services,a UK organisation called Venture Arts, which is an art studio for people with LD (a lot of us are autistic as well) is giving me zoom sessions with my photography tutor,they actually sent me an iPad on loan so I coud use it for the zoom camera and can use my iPad for my Proloquo2go as otherwise the sessions woud have been impossible.
my mum was diagnosed with several quite bad cancers around the same time the UK lockdown had just started so the extra iPad means I can communicate with her to.

i am hoping To do voluntary work at a special primary school for kids with all levels of autism when all this is over but I’m not sure how that will work out with being Non verbal and in a (manual) wheel chair.
I am pleased for you being able to stay in touch with your Mum and also having creative photography sessions online. Your needs aren’t all being met everywhere right now but I imagine those that are, like contact with your Mum and being able to have a creative outlet, must be high on your priority list, allowing gratitude and other good feelings.
 
At the social group I attend they discussed some activities that are helpful to cope with the lockdown and social distancing:

How am I coping? By doing what I’ve been doing for years. Staying in and only going out twice a day to give the dog her walk. The joys of long-term unemployment due to having no relevant qualifications, trades/skills, relevant experience, etc and your age working against you is that you soon learn how to do nothing.

Would you like some kind of creative outlet ?

I am the least creative person you could ever hope to meet. Never been artistic as my art teacher at secondary found out to his cost, same went with technical subjects and I barely scraped by in my English O grade. Anything involving hand/eye coordination is a failure before it’s even started. Pretty much like everything else I’ve ever put my hand to in the past. Interest begets expectation. Expectation begets disappointment. The way to avoid disappointment is to avoid interest.

I just don’t look at life as colourful through rosy shades. I look at is as black through shades of grey where the light at the end of the tunnel is a freight train barrelling down the track full pelt in my direction.

I don't know if this is a good thing or not, but, due to work and everything else that is going on, the current crisis, I have adopted a sort of "whatever happens" opinion. I stress too much over little things, which makes things worse, isn't that a common trait for nuerodivergent people? So, I need to enjoy my time off and go back to work and just go with things. I have read through people comments and found some good advise.

Hi, how are you doing ? What have you planned for the weekend ?
 
Normally we do it by choice, but this is imposed and potentially deprives autistic people from valuable contact and sources of support. It may also lead to heightened anxiety due to a forced change in routine.
This forum will be a way for reaching out without being judged. We may be fine one day and totally knocked into unknown realms the next. It’s a good place to seek affirmation if that does happen.

Humour helps or in this case a warped sense of humour. In the case of what's going on with the virus, Halloween villain Michael Myers was ahead of the game: 1626617248586.png

Sports Betting Tips for Sports Betting Success

Welcome to the world of online betting, in which the shrewd sports betting bettor may earn huge fortunes from forecasting college or pro football, baseball, basketball, hockey, or motorsport results. However, every sports bettor eventually comes up to a single important question: should they seek professional sports betting tips before risking their hard-earned cash on an online betting website? The answer to this question is a resounding yes! While the World Wide Web is crammed full of online betting websites, not all of which are legitimate operations, there are a handful of them that have been established as genuine enterprises, whose sole purpose is to provide first-rate sports betting tips to their patrons.

In order to successfully wager on any sport, you need to know what's going on inside the game. The odds may be in your favor but if you don't keep track of key facts like injury reports, lineup changes, special teams, coaching decisions, player's tendencies, etc., then you may end up placing a wager that's against your best possible financial interests. These are the types of things that should be the primary focus of your betting activities, which should include a thorough research of the sports in question before you place a wager. Sports betting tips may also be sought after by bettors who wish to take advantage of a streaky trend in one form of wagering. By keeping track of such statistics as expected home run rates for the respective teams, the possibility of a quick turnaround as well as possible home field advantages can be considered.

Another thing to keep in mind when seeking out sports betting tips is to make sure that you're comfortable with your wager. It should be carefully thought out and executed, if it isn't, then you could just as easily find yourself having to deal with disappointment. One good tip to follow when wagering on a football game is to make sure that you've picked the right bookmaker. The right sports bettors will have a number of different bookmakers to choose from so make sure that you do your homework.
