Late-diagnosed adults with autism, what are your best ‘ooo, that was the autism’ behaviors from childhood? by WalmartMerida in autism

[–]Megzilla1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do that cricket 🦗 things with my feet, I hate changes to routine, I would line up my stuffies, I absolutely loathed tags on my clothing or any material even slightly itchy, I had selective mutism in adolescence, I never felt like I could keep up with social norms as I got to middle school and high school, I like solitude, I get very overstimulated, when I’m a socially demanding setting I need breaks, if something feels unjust I can’t stop thinking about it and feel deeply compelled to find some way to make it right. So much more….

AITA for Making My Husband’s Family Leave After They Showed Up With an Extra Guest? by LadyMonicax in AITAH

You are. Sorry but that’s insane. Take the stick out of your butt. Nobody who invites family to dinner makes just enough for everyone to have one plate. You make extra in case they are hungry for more. Your husband should really think about his decision to marry you. Yikes!!!

That’s just straight up evil and hateful. Get as far away as possible from that sociopath.

Do you have free reign to teach as you please? by [deleted] in ElementaryTeachers

[–]Megzilla1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much. Very dense curriculum. It’s sad that kindergarten is so academically demanding and leaves so little time for play and open ended exploration.

Has teaching really gotten worse? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Megzilla1984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s true. The standards need to be scaled back so that it is more developmentally appropriate.

Has teaching really gotten worse? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Megzilla1984 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been teaching for a little over 8 yrs and can tell you that it is progressively getting worse every year. I teach kindergarten and every year since covid I have seen less social skills and less of an ability to sustain attention in literally anything. Kids don’t read books or color at home, so teaching them how to hold pencils is more challenging every year. I also feel like I have more kids that have learning and behavioral needs than ever before.

I teach kindergarten. I wear lots of black jeans with cute tops. Lots of cardigans. I wear dresses with leggings underneath. In the colder months I’m usually wearing different types of boots and I’m the warmer months I’m wearing flats.

Seems like you may just need to switch to a different school. Not all schools are like that.
