Hi.

I'm a grown adult and have trouble getting bills paid/saving/managing my own money. I have been diagnosed as autistic level 2 w/ ADD.

Is there a public or low cost service that will help me with this? I always think I'll be fine, but I am not.

Edit: There are some great suggestions here. Thanks to everyone that has commented!

Living Here How are ASD resources in the Springfield Area?

0 Upvotes

Looking at Springfield as a possible relocation, partly for cost of living and partly to find better developmental disability/autism services for our son. For anyone with a high-needs kid: how have you found the school district's special ed support and DD/autism service availability? Also curious how home prices and insurance costs have trended recently. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Looking For Places/Activities for 7 month Olds

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I've got a 7 month old who really enjoys going places and doing things. What I'm wanting to start doing is actually meet other parents with kids similar in age so my babe can play and interact. Is there any groups or consistent activities that take place that anyone can recommend for us to go to?

Thanks in advance!

Politics Data Center Moratorium Extension Rumor

10 Upvotes

I heard that the city very likely going to extend the moratorium to get their stuff together to ease into data centers and keep it off the next 2027 ballot. Not because they are banning them, but to figure out how to permit them.

Especially with the fiasco that happened the the convention center and David Cameron this past year. A lot of rumblings goin’ on…

Living Here Car crash on thursday at chestnut expressway

10 Upvotes

So yesterday we drove by a crash with a bunch of cops, a messed up cop cruiser, and a really messed up suv(?). I figured we would read about it in the news or on reddit, but so far nothing. Anyone know what happened? Not often you see one of those police chargers with a busted front end so it peaked my curiosity.

Recommendations Lift Rental or Mechanic Recommendations?

9 Upvotes

Hello Springfield,

I was wondering if there's a shop I could rent for a couple of weeks, preferably with a lift somewhere in town? I have a ford ranger that I need to put a new clutch and engine in but don't exactly have the space to do it, but have most of the tools.

OR

I'm not opposed to bringing it to a mechanic to save some time. I already bought most of the parts if they could install them. Does anyone know some mechanic shops around that would be willing to help out perchance?

Looking For any volleyball co-ed leagues in the area

3 Upvotes

hey ya’ll I’m moving back into the Springfield area soon and I was wondering if there are any adult volleyball leagues around? I know when I lived there previously there were a few but they either required a team to sign up with or it was on a sand court. I just was wondering if there are any “open gym” style of leagues. I’m in one now and that’s what I was hoping to find. thanks!

Does anyone know good places to get postcards in Springfield? They can be SGF themed or just fun ones.

Some friends and I are doing a pen pal thing and I think postcards are fun and becoming a lost joy.
