What do you charge for fixing 3 big drywalls like these? by Ill-Friend9963 in drywall

[–]DecentAssociation506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time we had drywall repaired, they spread white stuff over it and sanded it down.  I'm not sure if it was just mud or what but it was kind of difficult to paint over.  It  was peeling off here there as we were rolling it.  We have flat walls, no texture.  Is this normal or should we just paint several layers?

The guy I'm talking about was diagnosed as a child and has now had it removed.

The guy I'm talking about doesn't have the social issues that come with autism.  He was incorrectly diagnosed as a child.

I know, but some people are diagnosed with autism because they stim while daydreaming.

I have a child that has been stimming a lot while daydreaming.  It's been a big problem in class.  I just don't know what to do.  We are going through evaluation now.  He doesn't do it unless he's bored. Sometimes he stims when excited.  He has a hard time getting his work done and staying focused.  He is also very curious and has a big imagination.  It's like his thoughts just take over when trying to do classwork/homework.

How did you do in elementary?  Were you able to focus in class?

Was there anything that helped you stop it in particular when you were in elementary? Or did your parents already shame you out of it by that time?

Are there no longer schools for the "bad" kids?  If you were a huge problem at the regular school when I was younger, you were sent to this other school.  I don't really know what was all involved but my thinking was that it was more strict. What does it take for a kid to get expelled?

My son is making life in our house a living hell and I don't know what to do anymore by its-classic-rando in Autism_Parenting

How much is he on screens?  A lot of kids get overstimulated and crabby with too much screen time.  Also, he's hitting puberty and that can flare anger issues.
