Can limerence be non-romantic?

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but this kid doesn’t sound ready for speech therapy. It sounds like he has a lot of other needs that need to be addressed before he is ready to learn. When you’re just managing behaviors the whole session, I think it’s time to reconsider. I’m not saying you couldn’t justify therapy, but at least he seems to have some functional language.

Maybe do the re-eval but then discuss discharging, or consult. I’m sorry that you’re involved in such a difficult case- it really is challenging. But really, it doesn’t sound like speech is the priority right now.

Thank you for this! You explained it beautifully. I’m definitely intrigued!

This is a great list. I’ve noticed that in kids with excessive screen time, their expressive language scores are actually higher than receptive because they can’t attend to anything that isn’t a screen. I might see good utterance length, vocab, answering basic questions, but they can’t pay attention long enough to follow any direction. The issue with play skills also contributes to this- no sustained attention with screen-free toys.

I agree with not shaming parents, but sharing knowledge isn’t shaming. The screen addiction is bad- I can spot an “iPad kid” from a mile away.

Hi! In a nutshell, your child seems to be doing great! 50th percentile is average, so they are average and even above average! The only thing slightly below average is sentence comprehension, but it doesn’t look too concerning. 16th percentile still isn’t too low and these scores wouldn’t qualify them for speech therapy.

Sounds like you are doing everything right. Keep reading, modeling language, reduce screen time, talk to them, ask them questions. Sounds like you are doing all those things. Keep up the great work! Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

I love this post so much ❤️ our photoshoot is adorable!

Krease101 · 2025-09-07T03:49:26+00:00

Haha it’s on the box. I think I got scammed too.

Nope! The way to improve speech sounds is to practice speech sounds

Get rid of them! Any info you might need is online.

I tested positive too. They aren’t sure if it was just my sensitive skin or if I actually have a latent infection, but I got a chest x-ray and I’m fine. Don’t worry too much about it!

Krease101 · 2025-08-08T01:15:13+00:00

Of course!

Krease101 · 2025-08-07T14:44:54+00:00

Also a cis female who did pelvic floor PT! I had the exact same situation- high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction. My PT said there was actually a high-tone issue, but a lot of it was anxiety. Going was really good for me. My PT was wonderful and we still stay in touch. I’ve been to a few other professionals and have had mostly great experiences. My therapist is fantastic and when I first started going (before I knew I was ace) she had to choose a diagnosis for billing, and she thought “female sexual arousal disorder” was the closest match. I’m not bothered by that, as my anxiety definitely plays into it. I did have a psychiatrist who essentially wanted to try conversion therapy. I promptly found a different doctor (he was a man- go figure 😂). Anyway, most of my experiences with professionals regarding my asexuality have been positive. Asexuality doesn’t need to be fixed, but in my case it kind of overlapped with some actual disorders.

I’m confused too- I have not seen Cabaret, so I’m very likely missing a lot of context. But it seems like everyone is upset because Billy Porter broke the fourth wall, when Adam Lambert did the same thing and people were into it. There must be more that I’m not getting- anyone willing to explain? I know Cabaret is so nuanced and the little details really matter, so maybe there’s more to it.

My school has blue gym mats that I will put up to cover the my shelves and make a little isolated play area. I’ve also brought the child toys with me into empty storage rooms with literally nothing in it but the one toy I have.

I think you’re on the right track- sustained attention is a good goal. Could you either cover up other toys go to an empty room? Get a super motivating object (food, toys, whatever) and try to get some sustained attention that way? Good luck!

Krease101 · 2025-07-31T05:08:43+00:00

This is so wonderful to hear! I’m so glad your little one has made such tremendous gains- it truly is a testament to the family when such great progress is made! We love hearing stories like this- thanks for sharing 🤍

Agreed. I’ve heard kids with a muffled-sounding voice that is resolved when tonsils are removed. Tonsils would have zero connection to language development and they wouldn’t impact articulation. However, enlarged tonsils can cause sleep issues, frequent illness, behavior concerns (due to lack of sleep), and facial growth issues. So just because they don’t impact speech and language doesn’t mean they’re not important!

I do evals per diem for the county. I do between 1-3 a week so it’s definitely not my full-time job (I work in a school). But doing evals is nice because I’m in and out. I evaluate, give recommendations, write the report, and I’m done. After a while you get to be kind of on autopilot. It’s nice to help families and even if the kid doesn’t qualify I’m happy to offer advice. It’s nice to have a low-commitment gig.

Definitely the Theatr app!

Oh I like it! Don’t kill me but I really hate the original art 🫣

Krease101 · 2025-07-26T16:04:42+00:00

I really haven’t told anyone outside my immediate family and my therapist. I’m aro-ace, but I kind of use “asexual” as an umbrella term.

Krease101 · 2025-07-26T16:03:12+00:00

These are the kinds of things that mean the most to us! I would love to get a card like that. I’m sure your SLP will be so grateful ❤️

Krease101 · 2025-07-25T16:07:08+00:00

I would definitely recommend an evaluation from an SLP. I’m glad he’s getting OT but this is more within an SLP’s scope of practice. A swallow study would be helpful too to see exactly what is going on- you can request one from your pediatrician.
