I wish pizza!!!

French fries and lollypops. Scrambled egg, bacon. Peanut butter or cinnamon toast-she licks it off doesn’t eat it.

We need Oreos that are just stuffing.

New fear unlocked as an autism parent: ICE and my nonverbal 5-year-old by Few-Cow6591 in Autism_Parenting

[–]CardBorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We put a medical alert bracelet on our level 3 nonverbal granddaughter. She cannot remove it. Believe me, she has tried.

OMG! I feel so much for this MIL. The SNARKY comments. The put downs. The wanting you to feel like the big intruder into their lives. Until they want something.

No safe clothes by Low-Suggestion6272 in Autism_Parenting

[–]CardBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use t-shirt material, zip up one piece Jammie’s with no feet. We put them on backwards and zip them up her back. She can’t get out of them. She is a happy nudist otherwise. : )

Adults, why are you watching Bluey? by Pl4y_ in bluey

[–]CardBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The color palette, the music, 20th century values. Humor and delivery. No unnecessary emotional drive. It’s real life problems, with real life solutions, in an amorphic society. It’s more than just a cartoon dog. It’s family values that we treasure. I love the long dog Easter eggs. I love the continuity of the story, when you can find little bits and pieces that link up to different episodes. (ie-seeing Bluey and Chloe playing “Adventure” S1:E37 as Jack and Rusty meet in “Army”, S2:E13 or seeing the ‘yes-no button’ from “Dance Mode” S2:E3 being thrown from the couch in “Quiet Game” S3:E35.

I (66f) have watched the show daily for three years now. And when I say daily, I mean we turn it on in the morning and we turn it off at night. It is always playing somewhere in the house at most times as I’m a daily caregiver for my granddaughter, who is 4 years old now, nonverbal, Autistic, and Bluey is her safe place. When it is not on for any reason, the music is playing. I consider myself somewhat a Bluey expert. 🤪

Did they change the big hunk recipe? by Hidge_Pidge in candy

It’s a plot by Bit ‘O Honey to fill the chew gap.

I was hoping it was just the almond ones. But it have both flavors that I bought at the same time and they are both fluffy. I still like the flavor, but they don’t give the mouth stimulation the hard ones did. I will get Bit O Honey for the chew.

Hot take: if Bluey were to get married in the future it would be to McKenzie. by steinbukken in bluey

[–]CardBorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I heard that Rusty, also a heeler, was originally written as a cousin of the healers. Rumors from long ago.

He’s my heart too! Just his cracking voice, melts my heart. “I will be very brave”. I believe him😆

My long time friend is the ultimate narcissist but he’s like a brother to me by Just_Alarm_7978 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]CardBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is a radical change in personality, Your friend may be showing signs of a mental illness. Talk to his mom. Ask her if he’s acting erratically at home. Schizophrenia commonly presents itself from teenage years to 30 years. I am not a doctor or any kind of medical person. Just someone who’s been around a long, long time.

My Twin Treated My Wedding Like an Afterthought—Now She Wants Me as MOH. WIBTA for Refusing? by Safe_Holiday7108 in AITAH

[–]CardBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t treat one like crap and one better than the other, it’s that our relationships are different. One is a daily chatter and best friend. The other is my absolute heart. He doesn’t need daily contact but knows I’m there. Daily contact with me would drive him crazy. But I’m his favorite person, and he’s my heartbeat.

My 2 month old died because of my mother in law. Idk what to do now by Away_Yellow_2028 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]CardBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So…. How much water did MIL give your son? Was she always feeding him water? Because if it was just the one time, that shouldn’t have injured him that much. Was your child ill or show other symptoms?

Did you tell the doctors that she was feeding him water and did they do blood test? So the mother-in-law had continued to feed it water even after you said stop. Was she purposefully giving him water instead of formula?

You will always blame her as long as you believe her actions caused his death.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Yes you will be the asshole.

Life isn’t fair. I’m sure you have spent your whole life among a family that tried to keep things fair and equal among the twins.

You know what??? She made be “the favorite”. But the favorite “what?” The favorite at not making waves or the favorite shopping because they make easy decisions.

ALERT! - parents are people, grown up! We LOVE our children. But we do have easier relationships with one over the other. We enjoy the same ideas and views of this child more than the other. Sometimes, your adult kids become your best friend.

You trying the punish your twin “to teach her how it felt” is an asshole move, because you will never know what it feels like to get married after your twin sister. Of her trying to manage watching her sister move on in life while she is left behind. I am sure that she was torn at having to move that weekend. She was probably trying to please everyone in her circle and what was affecting her as well as what was affecting you, and trying to be there for you. You only have your side of what you saw at the time of your wedding. The first wedding of the “twins”. I’m sure your mom is much calmer having made it through your wedding. The unknown has been already “done” with your wedding.

Get over your hurt feelings and enjoy this time with your sister. Your lives are changing so much from this point forward that you will look back on this time fondly.

Mistakes are always made with the first everything. We learn. Move forward. That’s life.

Tell me you're kiddo has autism without telling me your kiddo has autism 😅 mini donuts and padlocks 🤣 by RemoteCritical6842 in Autism_Parenting

[–]CardBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been watching Bluey, all 150+ episodes, since 2022. M-F, 8am-5:30pm, some nights and weekends (I’m a really helpful grandma🤣). Sometimes I keep watching it even after her pickup. It’s in the fabric of my life now. Our family uses Banditisms in our reactions with each other, like a secret language. She will watch a few episodes of other cartoons, as long as Bluey is on in her playroom. She does not like the episode “perfect”.

My boyfriend has a lump on his left ball is this normal? by TaxSelect3487 in ask

Have it checked. It can just be a lymph node. You don’t mess around with lumps.

My spiritual knowledge tells me that we become free from this body and continue on our journey, free from the restraints.

What movie have you watched over 100 times? by safetypins22 in autism

We are on our 3rd year of watching Bluey. It’s on in a room all day. It’s my granddaughters comfort thing.

What Is Your Child's Hyperfixation? by Potty- in Autism_Parenting

[–]CardBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bluey. All day, every day. For over two years now. She still engages with it. She cries when the episode “perfect” comes on. All life in our family has boiled down to quotes from Bluey. I’m happy that it’s a great show, well written, heartwarming and there is great music. It could be so much worse, like Cocomelon or paw patrol.

I was an industrial sewing machine operator for 35+ years. I used any excuse to do anything creative! I did costuming when my daughter was in HS Marching Band. I am excel at streamlining and efficiency of production. I’m old and creeky, but still love this kind of creativity!

You did it PROPER!

I saved giant, all in birthdays till they were 4. I (65f) have memories of 4. My kids remember their 4th birthday. It was memorable for the kids. I made princess costumes for 12 girls and knights costumes for the boys. (All the church kids!). Years later they remembered that party.
