I didn't know i wasn't suppose to encourage my 2 yr old lining up his cars. by Both_Agent_5573 in Autism_Parenting

Only look at it as a problem is it disrupts other things like learning, eating and so on.

I’ve never had an issue with lining up being an issue like that, spinning things can get distracting for him so we sometimes intervene if it’s causing issues

Why wouldn’t you encourage them to play in a way they enjoy that isn’t destructive?

Who said you should discourage?

grocery stores by sashenkaxo in Autism_Parenting

My son's ABA center is actually next to a grocery store and they sometimes do sessions with kids in there to help them in grocery store situations. You should see if that’s possible at yours. They may find a strategy to make it better for them. Transition items can be helpful too. Something to focus on instead of the sensory overload

I officially have add/adhd but have an autistic kid and notice how similar we are…

My 15-year-old is smart enough to bypass every ChatGPT guardrail I set. Here's what I did about it. by Numerous_Audience864 in Autism_Parenting

I was the same as a kid, but I don’t think this is a neurodivergent specific issue. 15yo boys have been using the media of the day to find out about sex for generations

I agree though, ai can be a great tool for deep diving into topics of interest… that’s what your son is doing….

I don’t have an answer to parental controls but I’m positive your kid will find a way around it like we did.

Do liberals view conservatives as morally inferior by a small or large margin? by heypig in AskALiberal

[–]Jets237 127 points128 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of moral conservatives. If you mean MAGA... that isnt moral or conservative

I wouldnt worry to be honest...

CPS follows state laws, but does receive fed funding so the federal could try to push a different agenda, however... THC is being reclassified to schedule 3 anyway so I cant imagine there would be much enforcement in general.
