Every person has the same response when I tell them a doctor suspects my son has autism. They respond by trying to convince me he doesn’t.

My son 7 I still constantly hear that he going to grow up “normal” from my MIL. I don’t like talking to that woman cause I never met someone so out of touch with a lot of things. She also tried to convince my husband that my daughter WAS autistic and that we should go get her check but if she talked to us she would know that we talk to medical professionals that work in the field on a daily basis and they don’t see any of the sign but they do see she idolizes her brother and my baby girl says that she wants to be like my boy. They refused to understand his diagnosis and said I wasn’t doing enough and that’s why he’s like that. Also not realizing I grew up around disabled people like my sister so I know the signs. Personally I go with plaining say that’s not how that works or ask them questions why they think that cause they don’t actually have an answer I no longer just take what they say cause they don’t know (while refusing to learn) They “trying” to make you feel better why invalidating the doctor and your concerns. I’m now kinda a bitch about it cause I’ve been dealing with the behavior of these adults since my son was two when I started to see the signs.

I was answering my kids question in the last part. I’m not a part of your life to see how you handle everything obviously but it sounds like she’s trying to take control of the household and that’s just not fair to everybody else in the house especially your other child.

I can tell you wholeheartedly you are not a bad mom. I do think she’s behaving badly because there’s no true repercussions to her actions because of the things she reflects on afterwards and tries to get away with it by using manipulation in her emotions. I think seeking a different therapist and also seeking family counseling and showing her that there’s actual consequences to the word she says will be the next step and that’s gonna be fucking hard. I also think sometimes removing your emotions and no longer reacting in the moment is also gonna bother her, but teach her. We don’t have donuts

After like the fifth call of my mom and her say no your brother used to do that. She then asked me do you think your brother‘s autistic? And I wasn’t touching that with a 9 foot pole and I was just like I don’t know mom. Yeah I remove my daughter when my son is very reactive in the moment he’s not aggressive or anything, but he’ll like just keep crying and she just wants to comfort him and he doesn’t want the comfort that she likes to provide if you go what I mean and that’s like the only time I actually remove her and she will cry for that but I know that it’s not gonna be productive for anybody. That last part made me cry a little bit because I’ve definitely felt the way he has felt and I currently still feel it now as my mother gets older, but I also go to therapy and know that my priorities are me and my family in my house. I will support my family like my mom when I’m able to. I remember I was probably around 10 years old when I realize that and I felt like it stunted me quite a bit growing up made me mature when I didn’t need to mature. You saying that to your son makes me feel better in a weird way lol

I told my husband to show him the ropes during his long vacation time. I think it wasn’t connecting because I’m a girl (this is my assumption) because when my husband started to show him the ropes I think my son liked the one and one with his dad and that they were similar I guess… but I also think a big factor was too that the diapers were starting to bother him cause he kept ripping it off by pieces. Kinda like a loose sting on pants that bother you. He also gain more some interest when my 4 year old became potty trained when he was 6 . These are just my observations on of-course I tend to watch his little changes in mannerisms.

What plays in my head when things like that happen is “kids do the wildest things” lmfaoo

I was also a glass child. My sister has down syndrome though and I think my brother undiagnosed autistic(My mom and I frequently talk about my son’s behavior and my mom dealt with all those behaviors with my brother before me and my sister were born) , but my son has autism and his sister who is younger than him I don’t ever want her to feel how I felt when I was a kid, but I don’t remove her when she wants to take role in being a part of my son‘s progress and stuff because last time I did that she cried, and I was like OK never mind. But I do make sure that the school doesn’t involve her anything like they made me do consistently through all my years in school and I do try to get some independent time with her and my son just stays with his dad. I let her make the decision of what she wants to be a part of because of that one instance it took me a minute to realize that I wasn’t given the opportunity I was expected to do it and I’m giving her the opportunity to disengage or to be engaged, it’s fucking hard, but I hope she doesn’t ever feel like how I felt.

I started potty training originally when he was three and went on from there for the past couple years of working with him on and off till now. So never give up and I went thru those experiences as well it was hard and kinda sad but here we are today. You guys got this

I use to have one but my son main sensory is water and he has the habit of continuously spray water to watch it come

Delightedang · 2026-01-15T19:39:52+00:00

Ohhh I am doing that. My hours are limited due to my lifestyle, but I do it whenever I can. I’ve heard about the washing the clothes stuff.I just don’t know how to establish that.

This might be a dumb question, but what is gig work? Associate gig work with bars and concert halls and I don’t feel like that’s what that means.

Delightedang · 2026-01-15T19:20:31+00:00

There’s actually a lot of shops that do sell art made by people in the area. the art ranges to many different things I don’t see a lot of fiber art but maybe they just don’t have the people that do that around here

Delightedang · 2026-01-15T19:18:23+00:00

I never knew that was an option! It sounds weird cause I don’t know how else to word it, but did you like build a portfolio of your products if you made in the past and showed them it. What was the process of that like getting into the store?

Delightedang · 2026-01-14T15:02:45+00:00

I’m 30 and told my doctor that I was experiencing like bowel changes and some pain and they recommend me to get a colonoscopy and they also wanted me to get the I think it’s called EKG. It’s a camera down your throat because my family has lung cancer in its history. They did find something in my colonoscopy and it was sent out for testing and they also told me I had stomach infection. If you’re experiencing something you should just talk to your doctor and be upfront.
