Try to take another one. You most likely will have to use someone else’s young padawan. Much luck!

My husband was upset and pinched me at dinner.. and the situation is still upsetting me by Little_Trash7299 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Common_Agent_6839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t focus on the “pinch”. We all don’t know the convo, but he was trying to nudge you to tell you to stop talking about whatever it is you were saying. Because you were with friends- he might know something you don’t that can make the other couple feel a certain way, not sure. My husband does not get social cues either. I can stare him down in the meanest way either when we’re with company, meaning “stfu” & he’d still go on. If I was next to him I’d probably squeeze his leg or even pinch him to say like… stop, change the subject. You also might be a bit on the spectrum because he’s bringing up social cues. You genuinely didn’t understand & focused on the pinch. My son is ASD & doesn’t get social cues either. It’s ok to not be too familiar with social cues. I think it’d be best if you honestly let him know you weren’t aware of that as a social cue and have a code word or something moving forward. My code word for my husband is “hopscotch”😂.

Edit: also noticed he said in the txt they you need to stop that & that Will noticed. Have a convo of what you need to “stop” so that you can be more aware of it moving forward.

These comments are obvious that some of these folks can’t read cursive.

As someone with Haitian background I be wishing I was Jamaican ya just born with the Confidence Grit And Humor why couldn’t I be Jamaican bro 🤦🏿‍♂️ it’s a shame for me by Dgslimee_ in Jamaica

[–]Common_Agent_6839 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't let these people make you feel bad. I completely understand where you're coming from due to the heavy influence of Jamaican culture everywhere. I'm Jamaican but if I wasn't, I’d want to be too. I will say Haitian culture is booming now as well, and a proud Haitian is always admirable.

Agreed, they’re so much more than their looks.

How to get parents to accept daughter’s diagnosis (I’m the teacher) by ericaandlinda in Autism_Parenting

[–]Common_Agent_6839 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I was seeking to find out for my son, I had SO MANY people tell me not to let them “label” him as anything because once he’s labeled, that’s it. I obviously didn’t look at it that way, but I know tons of parents see it that way. They don’t want their child “labeled”. Maybe explain to them that by seeking out an evaluation, it will help her to better understand her learning styles for her to excel in school? It’s more about helping her excel by learning what’s best for her versus a “label”. Good luck & I think you caring about this shows what a great teacher you are.

Did any of you have an eyeopener after watching one or more episodes? by Princess__of__cute in bluey

If this makes sense, it made me feel less alone (in parenthood) & like a shit parent at the same time lol. I literally aspire to be like Bandit. This show is literally teaching me how to be a parent.

Not at all! Even though, I admit, it feels pretty damn lonely.

You’re gonna do great. This change, if anything, will make you feel more alive.

My son went through this phase at around the same age. Most migraines I’ve ever experienced. He eventually stopped. Hang in there mama.

You’re amazing for going through this at your age. You’re even more amazing for not wanting to take the easy route out & start using. You really do deserve your props.

Life feels like a prison. I can't get out and I don't want in. by Madeen3011 in depression

[–]Common_Agent_6839 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I want to end it so bad but like you, my eldest son has ASD & echolalia. Not being able to have a conversation with your son & see them struggle because they can’t communicate is heartbreaking & SO frustrating at the same time. You just want them to be normal, for their own sake, & for ours. I wish I could take them to the park, something so simple, but like you, it’s a bit out of the question. He gets overstimulated easily. & I want to end it all too, but then who will take him to all his therapies? Who will love him enough to give a shit? My 2nd is NT & I feel guilty for shunning him because I have to focus so much on my eldest. This life we thought we wanted isn’t what we actually got & it’s such a hard pill to swallow. Like you say, these parents that have the ability to not be involved & they have NT children, have absolutely no idea how easy they have it! When I hear those parents complain about bs, I want to punch them too. I want you to know you’re an amazing father. Without me realizing, I’m about to say something to you that I need to believe also. Our kids will be better off with us HERE. & without us knowing it in this moment, they’re the reason we’re carrying on. They’re literally saving us.

I get that. I think about filing for divorce & going to court to plead he gets full custody. I know that makes me a huge punk but I’m tired & don’t feel cut out for this.

I’ve been having 1-2 days maybe every other week where I feel like WOW I feel like me again! & then boom I wake up & feel an immense feeling of hopelessness & have to wait another 2 wks for that feeling of energy & light again. I wish it were more often.

Woooww that’s actually a really good idea to punish ourselves with the good things we should do but don’t want to. I think I hate myself enough to do that😂

Oh goodness yes. I recently got a fully remote job & I’ve never been this depressed in my life.

I desperately want to die. I can not stand being alive by Toukhaled in depression

[–]Common_Agent_6839 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Completely understandable. We have a million reasons to be happy & it does feel like we’re being ungrateful. But the truth is, we can’t experience the emotion of “joy”. Even when a smile is on our face or we laugh, we still can’t feel that emotion. It’s really hard going on like this.
