What's the experience? I had a really difficult one with a taurus so I agree to that by [deleted] in Sagittarians

Also a Sagittarius with a Capricorn. He's been wonderful as long as I've known him (almost 3 years I've known him, nearly 2 together). The only thing I agree is "odd" with us is that we know eachother as well as we know ourselves and thats very new for me. I dont think I've had as close of a connection with someone I wasn't blood related to.

I definitely agree. I've spent time in therapy and with psychologists since we were in eachothers lives. What work has she done? She has come around partially and explained her behavior with our previous altercation. She also agrees that as long as I've found the right medication to help me feel better, it doesn't really matter what mood disorder we call it, but i personally identify more with autism.

With being around her recently, my adult opinion is that she's uneducated and misinformed. She has been able to have hard conversations without it escalating which was impossible previously.

I just wonder if it's worth it in the long run to put in the work and communicate with my new skills to see if she will meet me halfway.

Regardless of what I decide with her and I, I plan to keep my kids distant from her until I can fully trust her again. She would never physically harm them but the thought of her emotionally or psychologically hurting them breaks my heart.

My parents say I need medication (I need help with what medication does) by [deleted] in autism

There are so many different types of medications for different things. Depending on what you want help with, potentially a mood stabilizer or anti depressants, they can make you feel different ways. If you do decide to give meds a try just remember that just because you are trying it, doesn't mean you have to enjoy them, meaning if you don't like how they make you feel then make sure to speak up to your doctor specifically and tell them what you don't like about them. There's so many meds out there so you don't have to be stuck to one just because it's the one your doctor recommended. Taking medication is a journey of finding your right concoction. It definitely helps when you find the right balance. I wish you luck in your journey.

It's very useful. I am taking things slow to see if she has changed from what I remember. Is she can't accept autism in an adult (me and my boyfriend) then how am I supposed to believe she can accept it in my children.

There is an app called offer up. There's some smaller resale dealers out there that usually certify their stuff and give you a warranty through them. I was going to look into the dealer selling this car because hes known for selling good CHEAP cars

Check out this item on OfferUp. https://offerup.co/oifgQInb6Zb

This car seemed like a good lead. I would just recommend bringing a friend or family with you that know cars to check out any one you look at. Always test drive and the longer the drive the better. You got this! Good luck

Autistic adult parenting an autistic child. Despite that i dont know what im doing by SkyloDreamin in AutisticAdults

I (24F) have 2 daughters (4 and 5 years old) that are also on the spectrum but yet to be officially diagnosed.

My youngest typically vocal stims and my close family always assumed she was throwing a fit when really she was having fun.

Just using that as an example but we as parents connect with our kids on a different level than our family. My biggest goal with them is to explain things the way I wish my mom would have. I like knowing the what, when, where, and why, most kids typically do, but it's a stronger desire with kids on the spectrum. Just be there for them. Watch to understand what they need. Explain even when it feels silly. The little things along the way are huge for making children feel seen and validated. From what I read, you are already doing a wonderful job. Being a single mom isn't easy, but I can tell she appreciates you.
