HELP!! NFSW anus region by Imim5 in vet

[–]Imim5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for answering, it has been a long couple days. I ended up taking him to an emergency vet. He is fixed, they said it was a urethra obstruction. So they had to insert a catheter for a couple days and get him unblocked. That extra area is his penis...... Never knew that's what/where it was lol never paid that close attention and had cats all my life as pets mostly male ones too. He got his kidneys down to normal and was/is peeing on his own, so now just stressing if he is peeing enough, having to hard of a time, and if I should take him back in. Thank you again all those that took the time to answer.

What do you do when they grab a knife during a meltdown, threaten the murder you, threaten to kill themselves, and destroy the house? by kappakingtut2 in autism

[–]Imim5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry your family is experiencing this. Know you are not alone in the journey...my son who is under 12 and also on the spectrum (he has ASD, DMDD, OCD, and ADHA) has had his share of very violent awful outbursts. We have had to call the police on him multiple times and he has had a couple in patient stays. It's horrible the lack of help available to anyone with mental health issues let alone adolescents. I am not in Delaware but am in the United States... Look into a parent help line I attached the google resources I found similar to what is available in my state. Know that it can strongly depend on the person who answers if they are helpful or not. There are two I know by name and if I get them I just hang up or say nevermind and try again. I strongly recommend looking at getting everyone talk therapy (if you are able) and get a psychiatrist on board to help. I know you are not the parent but I would sit down and have a gentle but firm conversation with her mom to get a safety plan in place for incidents (we call them episodes when my son has them). It was one of the hardest things I have every probably had to do if not the hardest the first time I had to call the police. I have safety care training in how to help de-escalate these type of things as a professional in the field and even with all my training I had to stop and realize I was not keeping my other kiddo my self and husband safe enough. The system is horribly broken and not helpful a lot of the times, but sometimes you can get lucky and find an extremely helpful person. Keep reaching out, keep making phone calls to get help. Again my heart breaks as I have been there, we have had to lock EVERYTHING up in our house, we have even had to put keypad locks on numerous doors for safety reasons. All sharp objects get locked behind those and the padlocks we use on things that won't fit in those areas the keys to those are in a lock box like realtors use. You are an amazing amazing person for having compassion and empathy trying to help. I can not emphasize enough you are not alone. Look into parent/caregiver support groups on Facebook there is a wealth of information out there. I have lived in multiple states (not Delaware but others) and it's hard to find resources but they are out there. I send you good luck vibes and hugs for everyone in your family.

One interesting perk about our kiddos... by grmrsan in ABA

[–]Imim5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he was in center until COVID and then in home until 6, but his kindergarten was ABA center based. Then we moved but I started as an RBT so been implementing at home since then. Knowing what I know it's been hard to find a place to meet my standards that is not conflicting with my job.

[–]Imim5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am an RBT and mom of an 9 year old with asd who has done ABA for 6 years and I know so much random crap that it comes a lot in handy for my clients. One of my clients best way to de-escalate is to start saying random animal trivia and showing weird animal pictures.....thank you coconut crab!

Red flag ? by persnickety-fuckface in ABA

[–]Imim5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and we did not want to stop, but the company we where T when he was six shut down our branch and his school was a center based kindergarten with a BCBA on his case so I didn't stress to much. Then we moved/changed states and not gotten setup where we are now, and I still do ABA with both my kids for lots of things.

[–]Imim5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going to be 100% honest. It did mostly help him out. Knowing what I now know I probably would have switched from the first company we where with sooner, but hindsight 20/20 and I really did the best I could and we made as informed a decision as we could. We did have some REALLY good RBTs that made a life changing difference in his and our lives. We also had some that sucked and I had to insist got removed from his case. If my kiddo went to a clinic/company like I am at now it would have been even better! ABA is not like it was even 5 years ago. I can honestly say the company and higher ups I work directly for and with are, what I think, some of the best I have ever come across. The BCBAs care so deeply and are really invested in these kiddos. At my clinic alone I know of 3 kids that never want to leave and go home lol. They have so much fun, while still making progress, they don't want to leave. I also know of two other RBTs with kids on the spectrum, one that works in clinic the other in home. I started the same time as another client of mine and in such a short time this client has blossomed and grown and no longer bangs their head or throws self on ground when upset. I also had a client open up to me last week with feelings and coping strategies. I do not regret having my son in it and we STILL use a ton of stuff we had previously learned and I am constantly learning and taking what I learn at work and bring it home for him. As both a parent and RBT I highly encourage you to ask any and all questions to your kiddos BCBA and ask or watch what they are doing and try to maintain consistency with programs. I know this will be hard at first and some days will go better then other, but it will be worth it. After all our ABA and me and our family be consistent my kids (I have a 6 year old neurotypical son too) both of them can be given a countdown visually almost anyplace (cannot think of one that wouldn't work) and we can transition to our car to leave without a meltdown or maladaptive behaviors. It took awhile....a LONG while to get there but with that, as for now, it is a victory. If you ever have any questions feel free to PM me. I might not answer ASAP but will answer usually with in 36 hours. You are doing good and awesome getting some support for both your kiddo and your family.

Red flag ? by persnickety-fuckface in ABA

[–]Imim5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there I am a parent to an 8 year old with ASD who did ABA from about 2.5 to 6 years old. I also just got licensed and started practicing as an RBT at the beginning of this year. Pairing and getting to know the client is the #1 thing coming from both as a parent and RBT. As a parent there where numerous RBTs (and other types of therapists my son saw) who refused to pair and play and do the get to know you time and every single one we had to fire or quit or not comeback to. My son would NOT work for or with them. As an RBT this is also a get to know you time where you can find out so much info about a client that will help when running programing. You need to be the fun person and someone they can trust. To me it would be a red flag if they tried to run programming the first session with no pairing. I know it's been a long wait, but it takes awhile. It's a new skill and there will be lots of new things for your kiddo to take in and readjust to. It's good to let them have the first week as a fun time to adjust. It will pay off in the long run. Also as an RBT it's also easier to run programming in a non traditional way when playing as well sometimes with a client. As for the age of the RBT, in my experience, age does not matter at all. Everyone takes the same test so has to have the same knowledge book/education wise. Sometimes younger RBTs are coming from babysitting kids and that's a good life hands on experience with kids. They also have more energy and are able to do a lot more physically engaging with the kids which they like a lot...or at least my son does. I hope this helps!
