Re: How did you find our Community?
Found it through my school when I was 13 and made an account but didn’t properly use it until I was 15 when I was on beat and someone told me about the group chats so that’s when I officially joined 💚

Re: Would You Rather - Fun and Silly Questions
Ooooo this is such a tough one. I feel like i'm leaning more toward the dancing. I feel like I could find a way to be more subtle with it (if that was possible) - just a mini little dance. Plus I wouldn't want to subject everyone to my singing all the time when I spoke because I am completely tone deaf 😂😂
Re: Would You Rather - Fun and Silly Questions
dance break every time i felt a strong emotion 100%. i used to express myself with dance anyway so would love to do that.

No one will answer my question
If carer company r deemed unfit after a investigation n b4, r they allowed to work where I'm going to wen they shut down?
HR saying i didn't declare my needs when I did-- Passing probabation in question
So i had supervision at work on Monday, the work place ive bern taljing anoyt on here quite a bit and had a few issues with the place/manager etc..
He was nice on Monday. was preety verbal so that helped. My 6month probation quota ended july byt I hadn't passed so my manager extended for further 12 weeks (i thibk about normal extension is 4 weeks , but because I'm sessional and possibly a mistake he did it 12) so that brings it to October but he then got pulled up saying that it needs to end in September but because his done it to 12 his sticking to end of October. He was going to request HR for further because I've had a few difficulties and lack of shifts given to me. Though...HR have now turned around saying i didn't declare my autism during onboarding which I did, and they even flagged i have a "mental/physical impairment to my manager " so my probation can't be extended further (than it already is) on those grounds, even though my manager said she has autism so needs longer thryve said no . I hsve to have an occupational health assessment and maybe after then but otherwise after October its i either have the job or don't! -- what am I supposed to b do?? I'm scared! My manager was nice about it he said at moment if i carry om as am then I'm on track but need to be more confident and have faith. Ive got 5 further shifts till i have to pass it. His listee the adjustments so its recorded. I want to pass it bit worried I may not because of my difficulties and like this is making it seem im being cussed because if my autism and thats not my fault!
He probed me on hoe I was feeling? How thivngs are at home and I ended up disclosinng to him about my dad's Canc** diagnosed (my other places if work knew not him) but like he spoke to me about it and shared his dad also has Canc** but I knoe feel embarrased because he knows! Want to hide!
Ut fely like the supervision was more tailored towards me, less template heavy and felt like he wanted to emgage with me like he had the time for me. He praised me voluntarily normally when praise section comes he asks me i say none and he moves on. This time he said i want to praise you for... which was nice.

Childline. I was moving on from Childline and I found a link to The Mix somewhere on their website.

Re: How did you find our Community?
Childline. I was 18 when I found the childline website so I looked at the stuff they had on where to go when you’re too old for their service.
