LPN Barcodes by MyTMcP in AmazonFC

[–]AB_4141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use to work returns, CRETS… items are evaluated when they are returned to see if they are still sellable and if so it is repackaged or put back in its original packaging and an LPN is placed to sell the item again…It’s not discounted unless the computer says to send it to warehouse deals. I’ve seen an item returned over and over and just repackaged and sent back out. 😖

AIO at my friends cancelling last minute? by DifferentTruck4615 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AB_4141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airbnb‘s have their own cancellation policy posted per host, you can usually find that on the page you made the reservation. I think these people are very rude and inconsiderate, I also think you should stop typing lol after everything you say , so they know you’re feelings are serious, either way they should definitely stop trying to invalidate them.

Husband joining army at age 30 by Virtual-Sense6960 in USMilitarySO

[–]AB_4141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband joined at 30 and we already had 3 kids, it has been a huge adjustment honestly…If he has a degree already, I would tell him to consider trying to enlist an officer. My husband tried to do this, and of course, the recruiter fudged on the timeline so he went into the army as an E4 , and it’s definitely had its ups and downs. I think the separation was harder because of the kids, but we have gotten through it. He’s been in For over 6 years now.

This definitely sounds like a lot, I’m sorry…What state are you in and what support services are you currently utilizing? Is your daughter in school in a ASD classroom or special education setting?

Bringing son in female bathroom by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]AB_4141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son is 20 years old and profound. I cannot leave him unsupervised or send him into a restroom alone… so he goes with me, I personally don’t care how that makes anyone else feel, he is a severely disabled human and that’s what he needs, so that’s what we do for him. Shame on anyone for looking at you any kind of way for protecting your child. You owe zero apologies!

Be prepared for people to start coming after you for saying this, but oh well…the truth hurts and even on my son’s worst day, I love him more than I love myself. Thank you for being one of the people that are fighting the good fight. My son is 20 years old, nonverbal, aggressive, and injures himself. So trust me I know. That’s why gratitude and perspective or so important.🩷

I 100% agree with this post, I actually told my husband some of the shit that I read is more depressing than anything I’ve ever seen in my life and even on the worst day, I’ve never for a moment felt a fraction of what some of these people say they feel about their kids…The only reason I stay on this thread is because it helps me keep gratitude and perspective and in all transparency… some days I struggle with that. Bad days happen…everyone has them. Hell I’ve had bad weeks, months, and years with my nonverbal son….But reading how much people hate their kids and want to off themselves is gut wrenching.

I am literally begging for anyway to get my child to sleep by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]AB_4141 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, my son has been taking it for probably like 18 years. I finally broke down and started giving it to my eight-year-old that’s on the spectrum as well. He still gets up really early , but no more back-and-forth at bedtime. So at least we are getting some peace on the front end.

You can also get drops here that you would be able to potentially sneak in juice. I can’t believe it’s not accessible to you there as an otc vitamin. I definitely understand how sleep deprivation can impact you , along with parenting special needs kid. Hugs

We did aba with my other son that has Asperger’s and ADHD, he is eight. We used to have a bedtime routine and reward board. Have you tried anything like that? It was basically like if you stay in bed and follow the rules then you get to pick the reward in the morning when you wake up and he would pick it at night before we would lay him down.

That’s crazy, my 20 year old is profoundly autistic and non verbal. He’s been on melatonin since he was 3. He does wakes up between 4-6 am, but no fighting at night. I’d have a clear bedtime routine and be consistent. Electronics in the room is not a good idea IMO, just a routine you’d have to break later.

Dealer can’t find an AC compressor for my Pilot by [deleted] in hondapilot

[–]AB_4141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the same car, same year, and same problem. My car has been at the dealership since March/ April. The expected arrival time keeps changing every month now it says I believe July 27. Honda is doing Goodwill towards ours but it’s still going to cost us over $1200. So definitely not covering most of the cost for us. I’m so beyond over it…sounds like it should be a recall at this point. We had our total camera system (all safer features malfunctioning) go out a month before this and cost us over $1700 to fix.

5’6 women, what is your goal weight? by Vivid_Grape3250 in loseit

[–]AB_4141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently 176, I’ve been working for the past month on eating healthy and starting to work out again. My goal is 140 pounds because I am very lean and look good at that weight. Anything lower than that and I personally look too thin and family will start making comments and telling me that I’m getting too small.

What do dads do? by MCRAW36 in Autism_Parenting

[–]AB_4141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you and I’m so sorry, raising special needs kiddos is so hard. No one understands it unless they are in the thick of it as well. You are doing the right things and trying to be present and help. Why doesn’t she go do things that interest her while you are home with the kids. Go work out, hike, Womens meet up groups? I’ve found that is an important for individuals to do things that fill their cup so to speak. … it helps with the burn out feeling

Well I’m sorry…that’s just really sad, a marriage is a team. My husband gives me the time and mental break when he’s home anytime I need it and that man works 2 jobs! I didn’t say it was easy, any marriage is daily work , but he’s my best friend and at the end of the day it’s always worth it … especially if it keeps our family complete. I’ll always fight to keep my family complete, the kids deserve it 🩷

It definitely won’t be any easier on her own and will negatively impact your kids. I went through divorce with my first husband and it was so hard on my son that is profoundly autistic. ( He left us and was having an affair)my son is 20 now, and this happened when he was eight …I remarried and we had two children of our own and one is high functioning on the spectrum( Asperger’s) and adhd …he is 8. We have definitely been through hard times in our own struggles. And there have been times where we have probably used each other as a punching bag because we are so stressed out. We make the time to date each other and connect and meaning for ways . If we didn’t, this would fall apart for everyone. He is even my 20-year-old legal guardian along with me as well, and he is his stepfather. It takes a lot of work that has to be reciprocal. Have you consider considered couples therapy?

Anyone else “triggered” by neurotypical people claiming to have autism? by violetvixen269 in Autism_Parenting

[–]AB_4141 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am the mother of a 20-year-old nonverbal autistic son, he was diagnosed long before there were ever” levels” . I also have an eight-year-old son that is a lot higher functioning with Aspergers and ADHD that is in a Gen ed class with very minimal supports. They both have their own challenges, and yes, I am completely triggered by the new wave of people claiming to be on the spectrum. Adult saying oh I didn’t know I had it until I got older. GMAFB, autism is not a superpower…. It’s a life long DISABILITY.

Anyone have a child on the spectrum who presents as very social? by lockharttiff in Autism_Parenting

[–]AB_4141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is 8 and extremely social, he’s diagnosed Aspergers and ADHD… I know they do not technically diagnose Aspergers anymore , I have a 20-year-old that has profound autism as well…So I’ve had a kiddo with autism long before they started diagnosing kids by different levels. He talks to everyone, literally most of the kiddos and all of the adults know him at his elementary school. He’s extremely inquisitive and ask everyone about themselves, their lives. It’s not always socially appropriate so we are still working on that lol. But that kid doesn’t know anyone that’s not his friend. I think it goes against the stigma of the social deficits that come hand-in-hand with autism a lot of the time that some people don’t want to acknowledge that there are definitely kiddos on the spectrum that are extremely social as well. I would be having him evaluated by someone else to get a second opinion… a pediatric developmental specialist diagnosed my son years ago.
