  • It fixed my mental health and helped me begin to recover.

    Throughout my whole life I had thought that I had some form of brain injury or screw up, or maybe I was just being lazy. I couldn’t write properly, I was weird. I was an outcast. I tried to be normal which I hated and even then it failed. Even my demeanor I couldn’t change. Eventually as a teen I went into a really dark place, and ended up getting a psychiatric nurse.

    He suggested to me that I might have autism and referred me for an assessment, I waited three years for it, but I got diagnosed. It’s like everything made sense now, and it gave me permission to be myself. Anyone who had an issue with that was being ableist, as long as I don’t intentionally try to annoy or harm anybody, or make people uncomfortable. I’m allowed to like what I like and not do what I don’t want to do.

    I still think I have issues from growing up with undiagnosed issues, mainly related to confidence and self esteem.





















  • I think some people are right in maybe implementing a lower level system. I have heard someone say it’s possible to send an alert without a interrupting siren, and as just a notification. An SMS is a possibility, but is quite expensive.

    I remember back in the days before the alert system was well known knowledge, a few years ago. I and my family just received random messages saying “Operator test #1” and “Operator Test #2” without any form of warning, people likely weren’t even aware that their phone could even do that (I was because I am a bit of a nerd, lol)
