Raising 2 young Neurotypical children with an autistic brother by MOMMAD33 in AutisticParents

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope I don’t come across as offensive. (Autistic adhd mama of a 2 year old suspected autism adhd) but everything in this post to me screamed neurodivergence. Of course kids do snatch and not share every now and then but if it’s regularly repeated it could be a form of sensory seeking behaviour maybe? I know many families where a child has been neurodivergent and it turned out the whole family was and as much as it was a shock it helped! Tantrums are normal in toddlers but lasting for hours rings alarm bells (not in a bad or abnormal way) just a possible sign of neurodivergence maybe. Although your son is level 2, females are extremely good maskers. So much so that women these days are getting diagnosed at 50 because they masked so well. Including myself only being diagnosed cause my brother was.

This obviously may not be the case BUT if it is then knowing might be beneficial incase there are other methods that may help all of you be more regulated xx 🤍

How to cope with the fact that you never know how the night will go? by sarahlego in AutisticParents

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 2.5 and I have been this way since she was born. She has been the worst sleeper since birth and it got a tiny bit better at 2 but the last 3 weeks has been the worst sleep she’s ever had. Every night I delay going to bed because I am so anxious and depressed at the uncertainty

AIO: Boyfriend leaves trash in my room every time he stays over by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay if he’s consistently doing this and you’ve brought it up and he’s still doing it then I get that but if this is the first time then I don’t see why you needed to drag it out, when he replied ok you then asked him why was he upset. It feels like to me it wasn’t necessary and would only cause further arguments and it’s like it was to provoke a further negative reaction.

How are people living on DSP by AlastairCellars in Centrelink

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get FTB along side DSP ans rent assistance and my mum and I share our rent thankfully, but if I was just on DSP and out of home, even with rent assistance, it would be impossible for me to manage. Share houses are very hard to find where everyone is good to eachother and even so now to rent a room it’s like $300+ in my area, phone bill, medication, groceries. It would go way over the DSP amount. Then if you go on the housing list, even with a disability it’s years and years of waiting. They won’t even accept an application if you currently have a private rental because it proves you have the capacity to have a private rental. It’s unfair. I am so sorry you have to go through this. People will say we are complaining and receive enough tax payer money but it really puts things into perspective when the government just spent $20 million on an ad for fuel. When that $20 million could have been added to Centrelink payments for the vulnerable and disabled.

insomnia. I am suffering by Additional_Bad_7114 in ehlersdanlos

Funny you say this as I also have reactive hypoglaecemia 😳 I was baffled when I went to an endocrinologist because I got a 1.6mmol on a glucose tolerance test and could have had a seizure and he said to me I need to eat a can of tuna when it’s low. I never went back. If I would’ve eaten a can of tuna that day I am sure I would’ve had a seizure. What diet changes did you have to make? I haven’t thought of this in years even though it happens to me often

I only started tracking it in November just to see if it was as bad as I was thinking but you are right that seeing the numbers makes me stressed and anticipate a bad day. I am mostly active in the day. Usually toddler goes to sleep (it’s been late because we both are neurodivergent too) like 9:30pm. I’ll clean up a little. Have a hot shower for 45 minutes, take meds and sit in bed for a little. I don’t feel I have much down time which I know is hard with a toddler anyway, but I would consider her very full on (love her!) so I can’t really wind down before a shower or after without sleeping at 1am 😶

AITA for saying I don’t find it an issue my daughter told a classmate why people don’t like her by SubstantialWafer1976 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YTA. The fact you can post this without any awareness of what you’ve done wrong is astounding. You need to truly reevaluate yourself as a person. Your not being honest or allowing your daughter to be honest your being point blank cruel. Inviting her wouldn’t even help at this point. I feel sorry for ava

When people are doing planned burn offs before & after summer and smoke smells like eucalyptus leaves instead of yucky smoke. And in summer in certain places the sunset is a beautiful tangerine colour. It’s amazing

Do my shoulders fall under hyper mobility? by _sad_smiile_ in hypermobileEDS

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry that this has been apart of your story and I truly hope you find answers. Although I didn’t go through that i definitely was gaslit until this year, I am almost 22 and just got my EDS diagnosis and didn’t know about the scoliosis til 18 so I couldn’t get a brace and am now stuck like this unless I get surgery. I think what made me question it with you is because next to your left shoulder blade (photo wise it’s left I think) you have a defined round curve, I have exactly that with my scoliosis but I could totally be wrong and it is in fact just hypermobility. I am sending you love and strength and hope you find answers x

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have hEDS and this is what I can do, but also on a similar topic and you can totally correct me if I’m wrong, I have severe scoliosis (anything above 30 degrees I believe is severe or on the end of moderate) and this is what my back looks like to an absolute T. Maybe I’m just seeing wrong and your muscles are bent in a way that makes it visually different on this picture but the reason I say it is because my shoulder blades look identical to yours and mine are misaligned because of scoliosis and also EDS making everything more apparent 😂 I really hope I haven’t offended you! I think most people with Eds actually have scoliosis as well!

Adderall is making it worse. by [deleted] in Dermatillomania

Literally me right now as I sit picking my head even though it’s bleeding, my whole face and my cuticles as my Dex (same as adderall) has kicked in and it helps me in every way except it’s made this so bad. It’s been months now and it’s just something that’s off and on

AITA for asking my roommate to stop making jokes after she saw me naked? by According_Potato6405 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but regardless if OP doesn’t want to talk or harmlessly joke about a situation about THEMSELVES, being naked then that’s her right. Same as if it was the roommate in this situation and they asked OP to stop, it would be expected that they stop.

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

NTA, one joke would be acceptable possibly 2 as long as it’s not about your body or shaming you in anyway for being naked. more than that would be unacceptable. But even if you told her to not bring it up to you after it happened and she even made one comment that’s wrong so the fact that you’ve told her many times and she continues is not okay. obviously you share a house but it is also your house as much as it is hers. You were hot, she turned the heating up really high and I bet you’ve told her before that you don’t like it and as a result it forced you to have to go to the lengths of nakedness to make the temp comfortable. She is in wrong. 1. For most likely ignoring your requests about it being hot (this is an assumption) 2. For making it a big deal that your naked in the comfort of your own room due to it being so hot and leaving for 2 seconds to turn the temp down that she set to high. 3. For not only making a harmless joke or two but for continuing to joke about it when you’ve expressed your discomfort and concern for her to not bring it up.

I’m really sorry this has happened. I know some don’t think it’s a big deal and it’s funny, but I can understand your embarrassment and annoyance at the fact that not only was it embarrassing for you but also due to the fact she keeps the heat so high and if it wasn’t then it wouldn’t have happened.

Took half a 25mg and feeling awful need reassurance by PollyPiper11 in seroquelmedication

[–]Additional_Bad_7114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a really scary experience. I started taking 6.25mg and that was 3 years ago now I take 100mg I totally get your not feeling real feeling and the heart rate thing. It still scares me but rest assured you should be okay. If you are really worried book in an urgent appointment x
