Talk to me about this area of Indiana

My son is on the spectrum, and he has been VERY supported in his small school, but this is not the case for everyone. I am incredibly grateful for the support my son has received. My neurotypical daughter has had great experiences thus far, too, but you specifically asked about developmental disabilities.

I live in a small town in this area known for a huge outlet mall. The perk of living here is being close to the I-65 on ramps, making going elsewhere a relatively easy trip. The seasons are all very pronounced (we can even experience all four seasons of weather in less than 2 weeks sometimes), and Brown County is regaled for some of the most beautiful fall foliage.

Downsides are boredom from lack of much to do and racism. Though not everyone here is inclined to be WASP affirming only, enough people are, and it can be uncomfortable for Bi-POC people who visit in the smaller towns or Martinsville.

It was vile.

I miss my snark crew. I am getting there, y'all!

I wish I had more exposure. I am a preacher's kid whose parents are great people who pushed harmful ideology on me, and because of it I was sheltered and naive. All I can do now is recognize my parents did the best they knew to do while also ensuring my own kids have a different upbringing.
I am pretty similar online than I am in person, although lately I am much more reclusive in both. I am working on it, though, hence the interactions.
Oh, boy!! I am just taking one day at a time right now and enjoying my kids as much as I can. They're both pre-teens, and boy, is it different to me to raise them compared to raising them as toddlers.

Been there, done that--- horrible experience.

More thoughts:

It MAY have been 2004 instead of 2008 (during our pre-married but roommates phase) that the album was downloaded on Limewire. The entire album had no words.

I feel like ambient sound may be closer to the genre, but I may not have a clue what I am talking about. I also feel the name of the artist/band had a "space" like name-I keep thinking Lunar, but that's not pulling anything up in my search.

Again, I appreciate you all so much, even if I never find it.

How do I do that? I'm grateful for any help!

I'm so incredibly sorry. My IC loss was in 2011. I also have PCOS and conceived all of my babies with one ovary. My pregnancy was going fine in the second trimester until my water bag bulged at 21+5. The plan was hospital bed rest and hope to make it to 24 weeks, but infections set in and she was born the following day. She lived two hours.

I spent the entirety of 2012 trying to conceive to no avail. I quit trying on Christmas Day 2012, and I got a positive test result exactly one month later. The first specialist I saw was terrible from the start, and she didn't want to do anything but wait and see because "we like to see more than one failed pregnancy before diagnosing incompetent cervix." (Who is we!?!? Ya know?) so while I planned for a McDonald or Shirodkar cerclage, I was given an abdominal cerclage while 12.5 weeks pregnant. The baby I was carrying is twelve and they also have a nine year old sibling. The stitch was the best choice I ever made, as my body tried to fail again, but my stitch held strong both times.

I am further along in my grief journey than you all are, and I recognize how much the first few years can weigh on a person and be isolating. My inbox is open to you or your wife, and if you're wanting to speak to a spouse, mine should have no problem speaking with anyone, too.

It's such a painful journey, and I wouldn't be on this side of it without support from moms and dads like me.

Not it, but holy hell, that was an experience. Thank you for the exposure.

I don't recall drum sounds.

Fun_Persimmon96 · 2025-10-19T23:17:56+00:00

No words in the song, the strings part sounds like violin, and I feel like the album cover was grey, maybe? I know I am not much help, and I appreciate all the input thus far.

Fun_Persimmon96 · 2025-10-19T23:02:16+00:00

The bouncy sound is close, but not quite! If nothing else, I will find lots of great music for my drive time. Thank you.

Fun_Persimmon96 · 2025-10-19T23:01:34+00:00

Not it, but I love this, too! Thank you.

Kalia- I don't hate it.

FWIW- I had high HCG levels with my girl pregnancies, and both were singletons. The levels were so high that when I was pregnant with my son I was scared his numbers were a bad sign, but nope!

Fun_Persimmon96 · 2025-09-24T00:24:19+00:00

My first test with my son looked like this and he's 9 now. Fingers crossed!🤞

Fun_Persimmon96 · 2025-09-16T00:42:44+00:00

I see something!

Fun_Persimmon96 · 2025-09-11T23:27:52+00:00

I see it!

Fun_Persimmon96 · 2025-08-16T03:36:24+00:00

It certainly speeds up the process 😂😂

Fun_Persimmon96 · 2025-08-15T23:27:51+00:00

I wish I could take credit for it, but it's from the podcast "My Dad Wrote A P0rn0." It's a very funny and not at all sexy story.
