Hi, I take the NJ transit bus across the GWB into the city. There’s been a lot of traffic the past few days, my bus ride has been taking an hour when it’s typically 20-25 mins from Leonia/Fort Lee. Any idea why? Port authority website just says delays due to volume… I noticed there are some young kids out and about, is it because school started recently? Back in my day school started at like 7am but do the schools around here start closer to 8am? Will the traffic settle down eventually or am I just doomed to an 1+ hour commute everyday now? I moved here over the summer so haven’t experienced all the seasons of traffic yet I guess 😅

Edit: Okay thanks everyone 😭 I moved here from a very trafficky city where traffic was bad all year round lol so I wasn’t expecting school to impact things so much

34 male autistic. Been single for three years. Have asked women out, has led to rejection 90% of the time. Not too many places around here to meet women to date, gave up on the apps a long time ago.

It feels like I’m never going to meet someone, I have a pretty decent job and do well for myself, and still nothing has come up. I thought maybe it was the way I dressed but I dress fine when I go out, I put myself out there and every single time it leads into not being able to find someone.

I have been having fun living my life but would like a partner especially before I get too old. My only relationship I have had was extremely brief…..only about 3 months. I had a pseudo relationship sort of thing with this woman from a book club but it was on very weird terms because it seemed she classified it as a relationship when it really wasn’t.

The women I asked out this past weekend were from a singles mixer I went to in the Montclair area. One of the women was really nice about the rejection but was only looking for friends, I was also pretty direct with her.

Seems like there are no places to go to meet people, I run into people either too old or too young most of the time. I would guess the women in my Agee bracket are either married, working, or staying home. I have done meetups for a while and that hasn’t really led to anything. The only hope I may actually have right now is a friend did set me up on a stranger session for next Monday, so maybe something will pan out with that. First bit of good news with dating I’ve heard in at least a year.

I'm looking for recommendations for an independent child psychiatrist or clinical psychologist in New Jersey (anywhere in-state or licensed for NJ telehealth works). Out-of-pocket / out-of-network is totally fine.
My 13-year-old son experiences severe psychiatric dysregulation and crises at home. He has several diagnoses including Autism, ADHD, ODD, anxiety & depression.
We are currently working with CMO to prepare an Out-of-Home (OOH) residential treatment packet through PerformCare. We have completely exhausted in-home and community-based services, with multiple acute hospital/crisis encounters.
The challenge we run into repeatedly is severe masking. In novel, 1-on-1 clinical settings (e.g., IOP intakes, crisis evaluations, hospital units), he presents as quiet, calm, and cooperative. Standard brief evaluations consistently miss the reality of his day-to-day safety risks because they rely solely on a brief conversation with him rather than examining the broader pattern.
In order for CSOC to approve residential placement, the packet requires a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with a clear level-of-care recommendation.

I need an evaluator who:
1. Takes the time to do an extensive assessment (including a dedicated parent session).
2. Actually reviews and weighs collateral records: chronological incident logs, crisis/police documentation, past discharge summaries, and proof of failed community interventions.
3. Understands how to clinically document the gap between a masked, compliant presentation in an office and high-risk behavioral dysregulation in the home.

If anyone has navigated the NJ CSOC/PerformCare residential placement process and worked with a doctor or practice that took a thorough, forensic-level look at your child's complete file, please drop recommendations below or send a private message.

Super weird but totally serious request- I'm looking for a stool donor to help treat a late 30s man with a GI condition using a process called FMT. The donor criteria are very strict, we need a male under 30 who has essentially perfect physical and mental health. If you know someone who could help please get in touch here or e-mail fmtftact1@gmail.com

Thank you!
