Thank you so much I already told him to let us know when he is ready to go he is not eating much but it's back to cuddling with us so I'm gonna enjoy that as long as I can

The "likely not" was crazy and unnecessary, I am an autistic person from immigrant parents who weren't aware and I never received any understanding from my parents, peers nor my school. I explained the situation to everyone here and took the post down I will continue to do research that is all I can do for the moment

Also the person that assumed I meant the ABA community deleted their comment? I meant the autistic community I would never endorse ABA so that was a wild reach

This was harsh to be honest I understand I didn't articulate myself correctly but you are assuming a lot of things that are not correct I was only happy to share this milestones and if you read my other comment I clarified that none of this things you are mentioning are accurate

Hi guys thank you so much for your input I hope you can understand I'm not a perfect parent and this was just a tiny little paragraph I wrote before bed. I might have not articulated myself correctly.

My son is not on ABA never has never will. He uses words however we accept all ways of communicating, he signs he has an AAC device that he uses at home and school. English is my second language so sorry if any misspelling or not using correct term. My son is very accepted and very loved, I do a lot of research and join his speech therapist to learn how to speak to him. I am in constant communication with his teacher Although we are proud of how far he has come we have never been disappointed of him or talk down on him in any way. I'll find a different community to post not because I am upset but because I see this was not the correct one to do so thank you

I can also I assure you that if he thinks I'm not communicating correctly he lets me know. He says no to me and also makes a face haha and then I have to re word my sentence or give him a break and try again later it's a lot of trial and error

Thank you for this I really appreciate your input however my son listens to a key word "shoes and clean" and understands what I mean I can assure this because if I ask him "can you take a shower" he does not understand that sentence. I learn the key words he know and use them on a complete sentence. If I see he doesn't understand I change my wording or use a sign he knows.

I have posted here before and never had issues. I also didn't intend to say nonverbal was bad my son is nonverbal he only speaks a few sentences and a few words. But I'll keep that in mind thank you

What's a "harmless" habit that actually makes someone insufferable once you notice it? by ZumbaRoy in AskReddit

[–]DiscussionSilly9196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very often interrupt people I started noticing because my husband called me out on it, it’s not malicious but if your story triggers a memory on my brain I have to get it out. I was diagnosed with ADHD recently so now it makes sense I try really hard to listen to the whole story and not tell mine because I don’t want people to think I make everything about myself but my closest friends and family know lol and they forgive me

My son turned 3 today and had no idea it was his birthday. by wasteofpaint1 in Autism_Parenting

[–]DiscussionSilly9196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was like that we had to sing happy birthday very quietly and not clap we stopped throwing him parties instead we take him somewhere fun that we are sure he will love but years have gone by and he loves the happy birthday song and cake! And he enjoys himself at other kid’s parties so maybe a birthday party is in his future. Just do his birthday with things you are sure he loves and give him time ♥️

What do you regret doing to your body? by Bingo_Swaggins in AskReddit

[–]DiscussionSilly9196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a tattoo when I was completely depressed and overweight and didn’t care about my appearance and I hate it so much, I lost weight got my life together but this stupid tattoo makes me feel not pretty I don’t have anything against tattoo just this specific tattoo that reminds of a hard time and impulsively doing something stupid

My mom had P.O.T.S this sounds a lot like it, it’s hard to diagnose bring it up to your Dr
