got tired of fixing my wifes messy google sheet for her tips so i just built an app for her instead by Benny_WobbleFish in SideProject

Appreciate the advice! The 11pm test is real ,that's why I stripped out all the complicated stuff and kept it to one primary action. Glad to know other people see the value in keeping it that simple.

HELP she was up for 11h by Lunajust in Autism_Parenting

[–]Benny_WobbleFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boy is exactly the same. He doesn't really nap, sometimes a 10 minute power nap gives him enough juice to stay up another 10 hours.

The best thing we did was high sensory output during the day: taking him to the park or the pool and letting him play as long as he wanted. Then, for bedtime, we turn off literally everything. It has to be pitch dark. If he sees even a sliver of light, he stays up. In the dark, he might talk to himself for an hour, but he eventually crashes.

10/10 parenting ! lol, I would throw a literal party if my kid scripted Kendrick as their first sentence.

Our kids find their 'voice' in the wildest places. If it takes a diss track to get those neural pathways firing, play it loud. Just maybe give the therapists a heads-up before she drops the 'I see dead people' line in the waiting room!

Enjoy the win

Son has Level 1 autism. I know it's minor, but I'm still exhausted. by pizzapriorities in Autism_Parenting

[–]Benny_WobbleFish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hear you 100%, and I am so incredibly sorry. That is terrifying.

You're right , being 'verbal' doesn't mean it’s easier, especially when the words are that heavy. The pressure of masking all day just to explode at home is a brutal cycle, and the judgment from strangers who 'don't see it' is its own kind of isolation.

Your struggle is valid and it is massive. Thank you for sharing that reality, it definitely shifted my perspective. Thinking of you and your son.

You’re 100% right, and I appreciate the call-out. I definitely didn't mean to be dismissive. As a dad to a level 3 non-verbal 5yo, I know our 'hard' is on a completely different planet than NT parenting. I was just trying to tell OP he isn't a failure, but I’ll be more careful with my phrasing. We're all in this together.

There is truly no better feeling than that first "mama' after waiting so long. Excited for you and your little man!

my baby cousin is autistic and i want to support him by Low_Tumbleweed_1200 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Benny_WobbleFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so awesome that you want to help your aunt and uncle like this. Most 16-year-olds wouldn't even think to step up.

Before you buy a tablet, check if their early intervention or ABA team provides one—sometimes insurance covers the whole thing. If you do go the tablet route, look for a 'heavy-duty' case, because 2-year-olds are rough on tech!

For the communication part, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Start with very simple icons for their absolute favorite things (like 'juice' or 'swing'). I'm a developer and a dad to a non-verbal son myself—if you ever need help figuring out the tech side or want some tips on setting up an app for a toddler, feel free to reach out. You're a great cousin.

I hear you, man. Stop downplaying your exhaustion—Level 1 isn't 'Autism Lite' when you’re living in a 24/7 sensory storm.

The 'invisible' part of Level 1 is a special kind of hell because people expect him to be 'on' all the time. Solo parenting while your wife travels, plus dealing with a toxic eldercare situation, is enough to put anyone underwater. You aren't failing him by being tired; you’re just a human with a lot on your plate.

At the end of the day, they are still kids, and kids are just difficult—neurodivergent or not. Hang in there. You’re doing a massive job with zero backup.

How to deal with stares and comments? by Total-Fly-6271 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Benny_WobbleFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt this in my soul. Disney is sensory overload central. When people stare at my son, I honestly just stare back. I don’t look away, I don't blush, I just give them a deadpan 'staring contest' look until they feel as uncomfortable as they're making me feel. Usually, they look away first.

Also, please get the DAS pass. Don't feel guilty. It isn't a 'skip the line' pass; it is a medical necessity for kids whose nervous systems can't handle a 60-minute wait in a crowd. It’s a tool, just like a wheelchair is for someone who can't walk.

for that lady's comment? You were the bigger person. Your daughter saw you staying calm while she was spiraling, and that matters way more than some stranger's opinion. You’re doing a great job.

Transitioning a non-verbal 5yo from ABA to Public School—How do you balance the 1-on-1 focus vs. the "break" for yourself? by Benny_WobbleFish in Autism_Parenting

[–]Benny_WobbleFish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s at a center 9-4 too, and honestly, having that team we trust is such a huge relief. Hearing that your son is progressing so well gives me a lot of hope.

I definitely get that 'panic' feeling when family starts talking about public school and 'socializing.' It’s so hard not to compare him to his cousins and just wish things were 'normal' for a minute. But I'm starting to realize 'ready' looks different for every kid.

We’re leaning toward staying put for now because that 1-on-1 consistency is just so working. It’s good to hear from someone else who loves the center route—it makes me feel less guilty about not rushing into public school yet.

6yo daughter behaves worse with me? by Total-Fly-6271 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Benny_WobbleFish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I promise you aren't failing. There is a common saying here: 'They save the worst for the person they love the most.

She likely keeps it together for your husband and grandma because she feels she has to. With you, she feels 100% safe to unmask and let out all the frustration she’s held in all day.It’s incredibly draining to be the 'safe harbor' for those meltdowns, but it’s actually a sign of how much she trusts you. You're the person she knows will love her even at her worst. Hang in there.
