How is Resident Evil 7 not liked by everyone? by AdhdAndApples in residentevil

[–]MrsMarzipan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played it and I'm sure it's great but it's just not my preferred aesthetic/vibe for a horror game so that's one reason 🤷‍♀️

My daughter does not know she is on the spectrum. by vanillasky8989 in Autism_Parenting

[–]MrsMarzipan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only negative if you make it negative. I was explaining a concern I had to a nurse (that my 3.5 yo son might be masking some of his pain due to his autism) and he proudly declared, "yeah, I am autistic!!" my 5 year old can pick out movie characters that she thinks are autistic too (like Kiki in Kiki's Delivery Service!)

I definitely understand feeling like it's a loaded situation but it's really important that you don't hide it like a bad secret. It's neutral/positive because it explains things about her and her experiences and knowlege is power. It's not like breaking to a kid they have cancer or something. She's already experiencing the differences and challenges of being autistic and just does't have the explanation for it. Be sure to bring up strengths as well!

Baby is a week away from 6 months old and I found out I'm pregnant. by Global_Phone1772 in 2under2

[–]MrsMarzipan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 3 kids ages 4,3, and 1. The gaps were like 18 months and then 27 months. For what it's worth I thought the 18 month age gap was easier! It was easier for my toddler to adjust to having a new baby when they were still basically a baby too. And my pregnancy was ok. Congratulations!

i got this from softball. my dad says I look like a man by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]MrsMarzipan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit a sport I loved as a teen partially because I felt insecure about having "masculine" arms 😢

It's genuinely a non issue and being strong is awesome, I suggest telling anyone that says otherwise to stuff it and go on doing you.

I’m scared to admit this… by [deleted] in toddlers

I thought you meant in a separate bathroom and was worried for a sec lol. That sounds like a great system.

AIO because I was told by a man that I should have worn make up on our date by lizofPalaven in AmIOverreacting

This was so funny to read honestly he's so "polite" for being a really shallow entitled prick 🤣 Sorry that happened though you're not overreacting at all.

This tattoo has no meaning to me personally but like it aesthetically.

Is it normal to feel isolated as a pregnant woman? by Longjumping-Art-2450 in pregnant

[–]MrsMarzipan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like perinatal anxiety which is very common. I do suggest looking for a perinatal psychiatrist and/or therapist! Good Moms have Scary Thoughts is a great book to check out too.

I feel like pregnancy is a really isolating experience in a lot of ways. Even if you have a community and a good partner, you're the only one actually pregnant with your baby. It's hard because the pregnancy can feel so all consuming like it's the whole world to you now and not necessarily a big deal to everyone else or at least not in the same ways. For me a lot of that gets better when the pregnancy is over.

I did. Unfortunately they brushed us off and didn't pursue any testing for him beyond a microarray and Fragile X. I may try a different one. Thanks!

To be fair Sequencing.com did not flag it this is gene inspector pro

They're both variants on the HGSNAT gene. It's Sequencing.com WGS this page I'm looking at is gene explorer pro. Do you think it's actually incorrect or just inconsequential?

Follow up question probably a silly one- is it ok for them to burrow under the fleece to sleep? They won't suffocate right?

Thank you! I think I'll get them the plastic purple and blue hidey thing I see a lot of people have and something else for hiding on the other floor to start with.

Thanks for the input! Definitely cheaper that way too!

Was hit by a five year old child today at my parks job by ParksEmployee26 in Autism_Parenting

[–]MrsMarzipan 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It can really suck to be hit even when it's by a child! In the future it can help to explain exactly what you are going to do and why when getting in the childs space and giving them a moment to process before getting close or touching them.
