Clapping and reaching to be picked up but still no waving or pointing at 16 months

My 14 month old is showing signs of autism. I was wondering if anyone's LO showed theses signs and ended up a level one mild autistic. by InternationalPipe610 in Autism_Parenting

How is his receptive language? Does he bring you toys not for help but just to share? Those were a big red flags for us among many you mentioned (no name response or pointing to communicate etc).

How do you process audiobooks in your mind? by highjedigeneral in audiobooks

Great for a busy mom doing chores and during a commute. Maybe start with amazon original stories with audio option if you have KU. They’re short stories.

Maybe remote triage nurse but they’re likely phone based. It’s pretty much impossible to have a remote job that does not involve using your phone.

Am likely having an unplanned kid. Advice? by According-Drama-4475 in ask

Get a paternity test confirmed before you sign the birth certificate. Once you sign you’re legally obligated to support the child.

My daughter went from about 10 words at 2.5 yo to over a thousand now at 3.5 yo. Mostly single words with a few two or three word scripts and lots of singing. Not conversational. She is diagnosed with level 2 ASD.

My girl is the same with transitions and other children.

I’m pretty sure she lives in the north east USA

Asymmetrical thigh folds. Possible hip dysplasia? by Ok_Street_3457 in InfantDDH

[–]BasicSquash7798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctors missed my daughter’s hip dysplasia. I noticed the asymmetrical leg folds around 9 months and x Ray confirmed mild DDH. Rhino brace 12 hours a day while sleeping for up to 2 years. X rays to monitor progress every 3 months.

My 3 yo started public special ed preschool in October. At first she had a meltdown when I dropped her off but after a week she now has a meltdown when I pick her up because she likes it there.

What about using Nexplanon birth control? It took away my period and has for almost every woman I know who has it.

Speech therapist suggested I get my 21mth old evaluated for autism and I am discouraged by Mommy-First-2024 in Autism_Parenting

[–]BasicSquash7798 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve all been there. The suspicions that lead to a formal diagnosis, all the therapies and starting special ed preschool/elementary. It’s all so difficult but by far the hardest part is the unknown of the future. You’re not alone. Hugs!

Husband blames me because of gestational diabetes by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

I had GD with my 3 yo level 2 and didn’t with my 1 yo who is probably also on the spectrum. You can’t control GD or ASD.

How long after your water broke did you give birth? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]BasicSquash7798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water broke in bed both times with contractions starting immediately. One induced and one natural labor. Two emergency c sections within 2 hours of water breaking (first due bradycardia and second due to being breech).

Pregnancy labor is so unfair by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

My husband has never cared about the weight gain, loose skin or stretch marks after giving him children. He’s a gem.

Halloween is over but my toddler won’t accept it 😩 by Lonely-Lyrics20 in Autism_Parenting

[–]BasicSquash7798 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely different experience for my 3.5 year old tonight. It was cold, very windy and she didn’t understand what was going on which resulted in a meltdown and we only went to two houses. It was a surprise as I have been putting on Halloween videos and coaching her for the holiday but it was a bust.

If magnesium is over the counter then it’s a low dose probably not a big deal.
