This is what I have so far. Do you think it's enough, or that they'll reply with, "We need more information"?
So after my GP called to explain about the mysterious texts, he said he'd email me the correct message.
So I've already given the AQ 10 and 50 (as per his request). Plus the RAADS-R and highlighted what applies to me from the NAS list of traits.
It's still not enough. Now I need to write another list of traits.
I first re-tried for assessment in early December. I am *still* not on the waiting list. 7 months and I'm not even on the list. I still have 18 months on top of that to get to the top of the list. I feel like they're just going to keep making me jump through so many hoops that I give up.
Also how do I even reply to this email as it clearly says don't reply to this email!
Been busy this evening, with a chain-reaction of events.
I got my #3DPrinter working again - nozzle was blocked, and I couldn't get it unblocked, so I ordered some replacement ones, which arrived nearly a week ago. For multiple reasons, I haven't had the opportunity and/or energy to fit it, until tonight. Got a great test print run off, first try with the new nozzle, so tomorrow I'll be able to set off the ~15 hour print I was trying to do when it blocked.
Also been thinking about a re-spin of the #MakerSpace concept that hopefully won't be so fkn horrible to run. I've been ruminating on this for the last couple of years - especially since I rage-quit running my local makerspace in the summer of 2023, when I had an #AutisticMeltdown due to having to leave our premises because the landlord was a rogue. Tonight I was able to actually get some good ideas down, some basic principles: virtual; non-hierarchical; no committee/board; distributed inventory; premise-less; nomadic - meeting in various venues around the area; organised online (pref using something federated); self-organising; plus a bunch of other things.
As a result of *that*, I ended up looking at #ActivityPub based applications, looking for things that might help with the "virtual makerspace" idea. Found three that I feel I need to check out: Hubzilla, Mobilizon, and NodeBB.
Looking at those three, NodeBB stuck out as it actually mentions FreeBSD as a supported platform, so *that* made me update my #FreeBSD-based mini-NAS, so I could test it. So I've just got it back up to scratch, because it WAS running FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p5 GENERIC, but after running freebsd-update, I found it's now no longer supported. While I've been typing this, it's just finished installing 14.2-RELEASE-p3.
Oh, and also been talking with my wife about how her #AutismAssessment went this evening.
And posting about British Chips and Mushy Peas.
