There Is No Childhood In Gaza 💔

I want to start being able to use my AAC apps in public without feeling overly anxious about doing so

If there are any AAC users (I’m talking specifically devices, but any is fine) full time users or part time who have suggestions for how to help with that anxiety it would be much appreciated

I feel like using (I’m not sure if I worded that right) AAC especially in public will greatly benefit me, but the thought of doing so kind of terrifies me

Thought I should clear things up and say that this “no clinical evidence of connective tissue disorder” is only on my most recent exam thingy

So every now and again I look over a note thing (idk) that my cardiologist sent to my primary physician (yes I do have access to this) and towards the bottom of the note he lists a thing of diagnoses and in that list is in his words: “No clinical evidence of connective tissue disorder”

What does that even mean??? Like I’m pretty sure I don’t have a connective tissue disorder and I’m taking “no clinical evidence of connective tissue disorder” to be indicative of that, but what was the point of putting it under “Diagnoses”?

This doesn’t necessarily require/need any answer. Really I just felt like venting(?) out my confusion of this phrasing(?), but if you happen to know and wish to answer my inquiries go ahead

I have a Wattpad account that I post my writing on and I want to know if I should also make an ao3 account and post my work on there as well

So I’ve taken to texting my parents when I want something or just to talk in general, and my dad’s response of “use your words”, and/or “you can talk, use your words with me” makes me even more scared(?) to use an actual AAC app with them.

I didn’t know what to title this poll so what I’ve put is the best y’all get.

I’ll make sure to post an update once I’m able to make an account

Hello ❤️

I hope this message finds you well♡.

I Stand before you as a person trying to preserve his family😔.

I am Lena Khamiss, a mother of three children from Gaza. We lost our home and dreams and everything we owned due to the ongoing war💔.

My husband was injured and can no longer work.

We are now struggling to secure basic necessities like clean water, food, and clothes for our children.

My children deserve to live with joy and peace not with fear and bombing every time.

We have set up a GoFundMe page and kindly ask for your support during these difficult times.

Thank you for any support you can provide.

You can donate and share our story through the following link:

I am unable to donate but I have shared your go fund me so that more people can see it, donate if they can and if they can’t they can spread the word around too

However I did not share it on my tumblr page as I made a post saying that I will be sharing these kinds of things in other ways

I hate that the possibility of me not being able to finish college and get a bachelor’s degree is getting more and more realistic.

I’m relying on a scholarship type thingy that pays a big chunk of my tuition but it relies on my grades, I need like all A’s in order to be able to keep going to college. I know that theoretically I didn’t but I can’t help but feel like I failed.

It also doesn’t help that I can’t really work due to disability (I unfortunately was unable to get benefits even though one of my testers(?) said I need it).

Touch Stances (not exactly sure where I stand) (also not sure about this title ☹️)

How does one determine where they stand(?) when it comes to the touch stances?

Like I think I'm either touch oscillating or touch ambivalent (I'm not 100% sure)

I am very much uncomfortable with being hugged (or really just touched in general) without warning (which my dad does a lot), and I can't stand touching strangers (the best I can do is a fist bump)

I'm like a cat in the sense that I either have to be the one to initiate the affection or in rare cases it's someone I'm close to that can initiate it (if that makes sense) and even then I rarely initiate affection (physical) at all
