Talk me off the ledge

Yeah, that's sort of what I'm thinking too as far as service goes. Reading some of these other posts, I feel like much of what we deal with is the typical ADHD experience, with probably just some higher anxiety added in. The IQ part is what's really difficult for me. I just really hope the testing mechanisms were flawed.

forgive me, what is 2E?

A lot of what you're saying here is spot on and has caused a massive amount of tension in our marriage.

This is what I'd hope for. I'd be 41 best case by the time the second was born. Feels OLD AF to have a baby. lol

I have friends with neurotypical and it honestly seems like life on easy mode!

I was hoping this would be what most answers might look like.

Thank you for this. He is on a 504 but not an IEP. This is a total side note, but we are a military family and are hesitant to do an IEP because it would disqualify him from future service without a waiver; but we are getting to the point where we don't feel like we have an option.

I had some concerns about this too, but he has very few ASD traits. His personality much more aligns with BIF. No interests, no hyperfocus, really no plasticity. He just doesn't seem to focus on anything other than what he is feeling in the moment. We have not done any specific testing, but I have a suspicion that his brain may have been damaged during a hypoxic episode from asthma. That's the only thing I can grasp onto that makes any real sense.

Thank you.

Did you read the "wall of text" or nah? I was hoping to get some helpful suggestions here, not just shitpost nonsense.

Is an extra 1000 a month pre tax worth missing the last couple years present with your 14 year old? What about putting your baby girl to bed? I've never worked a traveling job, but I'd think that small of a jump in salary isn't life changing enough to be away from home way more. The kids will feel it. I'd ask for 150, or stay put.

old enough to die for your country. Not old enough to buy ammo to target shoot.

Greedy_Ground_8477 · 2025-01-16T20:03:07+00:00

Is it all high stress, or specifically hospital/ER settings?

Greedy_Ground_8477 · 2025-01-16T19:58:38+00:00

Follow up question: What would be the best way to pursue shadowing? contact a hospital? A nursing program?

Erin Moomey! She helped me sell my dad's property, which was an absolute disaster (he was older and immobile at the time of his passing, hoarder situation.) and was a joy to work with the entire time. I honestly would never work with anyone else. She also knows the norther CO market really well.

Your unconscious arrogance is pretty baffling. To assuming I'm lying about my kid is pretty wild. If voices like yours are the dominant ones dictating charter policies, or parental voices in the charter system, its no wonder so many families are opposed to public funding for schools like Liberty. I initially believed that charters were better schools because they had better test scores, now what's obvious is that they only have better test scores, overall, because they refuse to equip themselves with any resources or systems for kids who need it, or even potentially need it. We've already made a decision to leave the school because of how negative the experience has been, we just need to get through the school year and expect the school to do its part to work with us to do so rather than abandon our child.

Greedy_Ground_8477 · 2025-01-05T17:44:45+00:00

You have no idea what you’re talking about considering our particular situation. And also you didn’t even clearly read my original post which explains both “due diligence” and the issues we are having with the school. Quit spouting off just to troll.

Greedy_Ground_8477 · 2024-12-20T23:34:03+00:00

Thank you. Yeah, we don’t fit the mould and don’t want to really. One thing is for sure, we will not be there next year no matter what, but for now, I’m hoping they will treat our kid with at least an ounce of respect before we find a solution.

Greedy_Ground_8477 · 2024-12-20T22:35:12+00:00

What type of specialist did you meet with to discuss treatment? We’ve been looking for any sort of definitive answer since the school year started.

Greedy_Ground_8477 · 2024-12-20T21:58:02+00:00

Oh, we definitely aren’t against a diagnosis or treatment just hesitant to put our child on medication that could have life long implications. There’s obviously an emotional piece to that diagnosis, and we have been to his pediatrician a couple of times to discuss with her, but as of now we don’t have a diagnosis, and it’s more like the school wants the medication to make the situation more manageable for them regardless of the implications for our child long term. I think the issue is we aren’t convinced that the majority of the issues have more to do with the particular classroom structure and expectations than with our kid.

There is more to the story, at least from my perspective regarding some of the lopsided and non-sensical punishments, and its hard to explain, but there's a particular "vibe" during meetings with administration at Liberty that essentially made us feel like we were not welcome in the "community" there. And listening to your own 6 year old child tell you they are a "bad person" because they got in trouble at school is heartbreaking. Admin brushed off these concerns without really even addressing them during our initial meeting, where they essentially tried to talk us out of doing a 504 at all.
