I should have clarified. She wants to retrieve her avocados that have fallen over the other community's side.

Here's a picture of the fence and hedge.

Here's a picture of our tree.

Using things outside of their intended purposes. I live in a gated community with my folks. Our house borders an apartment complex community, the border is a fence followed by a hedge in our backyard. We have several fruit trees in our backyard including avocados and mangoes. During fruiting season, avocados will drop and fall over the fence. My mom uses a pvc pipe with a kitchen knife taped to one end to use as a spear to retrieve avocados over the fence on the other community's side. 5+ kitchen knives have been broken by doing this. I recently bought a 30ft fruit picker to collect fruit before they drop, so hopefully that helps to alleviate the problem.

Yeah, he's pretty toxic, that's not even one of worst things he's done, but my family is toxic in general.

Honestly good. There are plenty of used and pre-owned vehicles that just need minor repairs or tune-ups. I drive a used 2015 Chevy Spark, financed it back in 2022 and it's nearly paid off. My car only needed a new battery, new tires, and an oil change. My mom on the other hand financed a new luxury Acura RDX back in 2018 as an upgrade from her 2006 Honda CRV, she's still making payments to this day. I asked why she didn't get a newer Honda CRV and she said that she didn't want the same vehicle as a McDonald's worker.

I remember when a lady tried to scam me into an MLM at a job fair I attended several years ago.

Yes, I had a stuffed anatomical stomach, he was my favorite. I found him years later when I was helping my family clean the house, but my stepdad destroyed him and made me clean up the mess.

That's amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience. I would like to get evaluated someday. My speech has gotten better over the years but it's still not consistent, I still have trouble with speech speed, stuttering, and pronunciation and enunciation. Edit: Also it feels like I have an auditory delay. Someone will say something, but it's as if there's a delay in the processing as it won't click. Sometimes I don't immediately understand and it may take a few moments for it to register.

Ah, I see. Well, there's no rush.

That's nice. I live in the US. I have health insurance, maybe my insurance might cover some of it.

Thanks. Do you think there would be any benefit in getting an official diagnosis as an adult?

Hello. I'm in my mid 20s. I was mute in my early youth and had to attend speech therapy classes in preschool and early in elementary school, and I rode the short bus. I played with and spoke to my stuffed toys until I was in middle school and that was when my parents took them away. My family always said that I was an odd child, but only in recent years did they suspect that I was on the spectrum. To this day, I've never been officially diagnosed.
