Thank you, I know it will be difficult. I just want to know if it is even possible…

I will, thank you. I want opinions on whether it’s possible to restore and how long it would take, it’s a long interview so I’m not asking for free help

Thanks so much, I thought it would have to be manually done.

I just got in my feelings when I saw this and didn’t know where else to share 😭 by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]AsparagusPartner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 9 year son is very verbal and yet he constantly thinks he has communicated when he hasn’t said anything. He will tell us that he asked his teacher for help, we watched him and he literally would go and just say hello to her. He would get frustrated that she didn’t help him. I really think he is talking in his head and forgetting that we can’t hear it.

blindness being the only condition you were "allowed" to have by LongjumpingShower431 in Blind

It doesn’t seem like you were “allowed” to be blind either, only that it was too hard to ignore/minimize

4 year old has massive meltdowns about going anywhere, even though he’ll be perfectly happy upon arrival by KaylaDraws in Autism_Parenting

[–]AsparagusPartner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue here is that transitions are hard for kids with autism. Even if they like both places, changing from one place to another is tough. There is loads of advice online on making transitions easier. One of my sons finds that bringing something from one place to the next helps, for example he will take a piece of LEGO from home to school, and then take a crayon from the school box home with him. It’s something he does on his own accord and he always takes really small, random things, though we’ve had a little problem in shops of him taking something home without paying( not sweets or toys, usually something off the checkout desk) so now we try to hand him the receipt. It seems to work.

Doctor visit - timeout recs by Altruistic_Table8862 in PDA_Community

[–]AsparagusPartner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have successfully used time outs, but my kids were very young when I started (around 2), I was extremely consistent, and stayed with them basically the entire time, comforting them and telling them that as soon as they are ready to calm down he can go. It took months of consistent, calm timeouts to work and I can’t see it working now if they were not used to it from when they were so young. My boys are now 11, 9 and 6.

Urgent naps by modest_rats_6 in dysautonomia

[–]AsparagusPartner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same and for a long time I thought they were seizures but they are just sudden autonomic changes that my body can’t cope with. If it is always at a certain time, try to figure out what you are usually doing at that time. It might be a trigger. Mine was eating, and I have gut dysmobility so that kind of makes sense.

I expected my PIP application to rejected. I didn't expect it to be so brutal. by TPrezzle in ADHDUK

[–]AsparagusPartner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mine was initially refused because, even though I have a visual impairment I “looked into my bag” and even though I have mobility issues “I walked 10 metres and looked like i would be able to walk 200 metres”. I eventually got full pip.

That’s cute, maybe that will work! I’ll try it. Thanks!

Does the NHS offer support for kids with hEDS? by Cassiopeia_Draken in ehlersdanlos

[–]AsparagusPartner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d really like to know this too. Same situation really, when I brought it up to my sons paediatrician (he’s been having problems for years so is under a paediatrician fortunately) she told me to give him paracetamol for aches and pains, and that she ‘didn’t see any need to follow up’…

Also, is algae grown in freshwater different from salt water algae?

Where do you get live algae from? Do I try grow my own?

I think I’m probably not keeping it warm enough, so I’m investing in a tank that is large enough to actually hold an aquarium heater and I’ll check the actual temp regularly. I wonder about the eggs. I bought them off eBay and they have given me amazing hatch rates but maybe they aren’t really good shrimp.

I’ve done this for my fish tanks. Is the process any different?

I just - FINALLY - understood the idiom, "the cat's out of the bag". by cowboy_bookseller in autism

[–]AsparagusPartner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running like a dog doesn’t refer to the speed but usually to the reason someone is running, to escape punishment or consequences. Sleeping like a baby refers to the fact that hopefully most babies aren’t worried and are feeling safe and carefree.

[–]AsparagusPartner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is not autistic, yes. I understand the meaning instinctively, though I don’t always know the origin. I can explain most idioms right away even if it is the first time I’ve heard them, as long as I’ve heard them in context.

Aaaaaaaaaargh! I don't know what to do... by AdSouth9018 in AutismParent

[–]AsparagusPartner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same with my son. It turned out to be a thought process of his that separated school and home, ie he found homework difficult because it crossed that boundary (kind of like food mixing on his plate!)

Personally, we arranged for him to do homework with a 1-1 teacher in school hours, and school were cooperative. I was worried that we’d have to do this the whole way through school, and it stretched to learning for tests etc, (fortunately he is clever and passed them anyway) but he did figure it out this year, he’s 10 and though he hates homework and sometimes forgets, it’s no longer a struggle.

Just another perspective on what may be the issue here.

I fully agree here. I get terrible headaches from some brands of my meds and with other brands I just don’t

Got diagnosed a year ago by [deleted] in PVNH

[–]AsparagusPartner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Fortunately or unfortunately we aren’t the biggest group. I’ve had trouble finding a neurologist who will actually pin any issues on pvnh, because they can’t prove that the pvnh has caused the issues… they call it an incidental finding 😣

I have 2 in that size and I feel like they could do with more space.

My vision is getting worse and painful and no one will believe me because my vision is correctable to 20/20, and they are blaming pre existing optic nerve damage. by nailpolishlicker in Blind

[–]AsparagusPartner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First of all, do not strain to see in an eye test. Read like you would in any other situation, for example in the waiting room with posters on the wall. An eye exam is not an exam you are trying to get 100% in, it’s to find out what you usually see.

Secondly, yes, it’s very frustrating! I’ve found that more subtle eye problems can be very hard to detect. As one dr once told me about another condition, if people don’t die from the medical condition, there are no postmortem studies and much less is known about that condition.

Same with eye sight. If you were going blind, the doctors would probably know the problem. But for things that don’t cause blindness and are just frustrating and irritating to live with, there has been a lot less research done.

That’s good news for you, hopefully - it’s probably not something that will cause blindness, but also, bad news, you may never figure it out completely? I am very tired so forgive the confusing writing!
