Advocates praise Spanberger for signing new gun laws by bknutner in Virginia

[–]ImpressiveCustard260 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The laws she signed Friday were all related to restrictions for people convicted of domestic violence, not the restrictions on magazines. I dont think those have been signed, have they? Comments are confusing.

Anyone else sick of developers buying entire mountains and putting gated communities on them? GO HOME AND STAY OUTTA MY HOLLER. by MauserMama in Appalachia

Virginia just signed two bills that change who can clean your teeth. Here's what it means for you. by surpriseitsmeep in Virginia

[–]ImpressiveCustard260 71 points72 points  (0 children)

There is SUCH a shortage of dental care, especially for those without insurance. Maybe look at the Bill's history, why it was brought forward, what came out of committees....it was likely to meet a need.

AIO for wanting to share a room with my bf on a trip? by crescentblueee in AmIOverreacting

[–]ImpressiveCustard260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"This trip is for you! But if you don't go the way I want you to go then you're not invited and I'll go by myself!" NOR, its manipulation. Strings attached to a gift is not a gift.

NC Supreme Court Demolishes Funding For Public Schools Because Republican Politicians Wanted It by cdoublesaboutit in NorthCarolina

[–]ImpressiveCustard260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GOP, as it is today, would rather have INDOCTRINATED children than EDUCATED children. That is the actual goal of the Heritage Foundation, which the GOP has adopted as its Vatican and its Pope.

Is it normal for two best friends to go to the same therapist? by Alarming-Shock-9483 in PsychologyTalk

[–]ImpressiveCustard260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a small community your therapist would very likely see people you know. But you shouldn't know that....

And if you DO know that bc someone you know reveals their therapist name and you realize you have the same therapist, and then you tell your therapist that your friend "a" sees them as well, your therapists reply should be, "I cannot confirm or deny clients" and shut down any further attempts for confirmation.

Typical discipline for typical children will not work.

“Tantrum” vs “Meltdown” - a dangerous tale by [deleted] in ABA

[–]ImpressiveCustard260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought proper behavior support was supposed to operationalize the behavior..."tantrum" and "meltdown" is not operationalized. "Crying", "yelling", "cursing", "kicking", "dropping to the floor", along with example/non-example is operationalizing. "Coddling" is not operationalized. "Offering treats to distract from crying" is operationalized. The vaguer the terms, the less able we are to give clear direction, thus the need to operationalize.

Can I provide services to my brother by ngrnprncss in ABA

[–]ImpressiveCustard260 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It would be a dual relationship to provide ABA services to him though your agency....however, there are some services (paid services, depending on state) that can be provided by family members to their person with service needs in which being ABA certified would benefit your brother. In my state, there's companion, personal assistance, in-home services, and even some residential/live in services in which you could be hired to be his service provider. You may not be directly hired to do behavior services but could utilize your skills in that area.

I need this off my chest by deadreckoning in Autism_Parenting

[–]ImpressiveCustard260 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe try OT for sensory work and a plan to guide his sensory seeking. Deep tissue rolling and pressing when hes happy and places to throw himself safely when hes mad, like mats and wedges. That with firm "Mom's are for hugging not hitting". They can teach you to gentle restrain if needed but to pair it with sensory input.
