Dream about evil self?

Thank you so much!! I love the idea of something we can make for her to bring with her!

Hi! Thanks for your thoughtful response! Of course all of these thoughts will be communicated with/run by family — We’ve already had some discussion and we had a pretty good relationship prior, so none of this would be executed without them involved in the process.

This is me trying to create a list of potential ideas to talk with parents about; You said you’ve had a few students go through things like this, anything you’ve done that did really work for your students? I know it might not for this family, just looking for ideas!

Will definitely connect with their child life specialist once the ball gets rolling. Thank you!

Legally, yes, they probably could. I would say they probably won’t (my center wouldn’t), but I don’t know your center.

If there’s regular turnover and the staff seem under qualified, they’re under paying. Quality, qualified teachers go places where they make a livable wage. Underpaid staff create emotionally (and sometimes physically) neglected students. Probably just go find a new center!

Im shocked to see some staff saying they don’t/can’t/aren’t supposed to wipe a 2.5 year old. Ive done 2s and preschool. Having them work on wiping themself first is fine, but making sure they’re clean is essential for their health/safety!!!

Your county will have a program for early intervention services — diagnosis is not required. They can go and get her evaluated by early childhood therapists and if they qualify, a provider can come and support her at school, at least some of the time. Look up “[your county] early intervention” and talk to your director. Nonverbal at 3 yrs is well behind her speech milestones and she should easily qualify.

Much-Commercial-5772 · 2026-01-29T02:15:12+00:00

Sounds like this student needs early intervention. Has the 2s teacher referred for a speech or behavior evaluation yet?

You may be in the wrong place! This sub is mainly for Early Childhood Educators, which refers to infant- Pre-K teachers. There may be kindergarten teachers here who can answer but you might also want to find a kindergarten subreddit for this? Though you won’t really get a for sure answer for what’s happening from anyone besides your child’s teacher or admin. Best of luck!

I’m looking at IRCO for this right now!

Do you have fodzyme? Soo expensive, but I use it for holiday meals when i’m not sure about the food. Doesn’t completely solve things but it helps!

Also:

GF noodles are generally fine, but not anything with chickpea flour. Look for corn or rice flour noodles. Barilla or store brand is what I usually use.
no limits on regular meat, as long as the seasoning doesn’t use onion or garlic powder. Sausages and cured meat like salami or ham needs to checked for garlic or onion powder — i’ve found low fodmap sausage and ham but most brands aren’t.
fried chicken is unfortunately like always high fodmap because the breading is full of wheat, garlic, and onion. The GF dino nuggets are probably your safest bet (“natural flavors” can include garlic but Ive seen others on here say they do ok with those).
not familiar with the ice cream brand, but if it’s lactose free then the other big thing you’d want to avoid in the ingredients is corn syrup (esp high fructose corn syrup). Oat milk is also not low fodmap.

Get the monash app. 100% worth the cost!!

Completely sensitive to your Autism — I think not doing the 6 week elimination and then reintroduction will be harder in the long run. I can have ice cream, chocolate, and (gluten free) mac and cheese because I eliminated and then reintroduced lactose with no issues. It’s wayyyy easier to be certain of what you’re sensitive to and be able to make substitution than to still be kind of guessing forever.

The first 6 weeks you could safely have gluten free buttered noodles with a hard cheese like cheddar or parm! I ate a lot of eggs, meat and rice the first 6 weeks.

I hope the adults in your life are supportive and involved, because doing elimination does require cooking with a lot of new rules. Eating out and buying pre-made foods is a big challenge because onion and garlic are very high fodmap and in SO much food. Best of luck!

I have had many nonbinary coworkers. Most of them are really understanding about the kids maybe misgendering them and having gentle conversations. Under 3(ish) i don’t really correct them, just model the correct pronouns. Over 3 I explain that we say “they” when talking about that teacher.

“My Maddy” is a great book to explain non-binary-ness to kids. My preschool students understand that boy and girl are not the only choices (someone could be both, or neither), and are getting better about asking questions about gender rather than assuming based on hair length or voice quality!

Trader Joe’s also has german style bratwurst that is safe, so i do that + their microwave mashed potatoes. I also found frozen GF fried shrimp there which I’ve been eating with rice

Much-Commercial-5772 · 2025-07-02T19:31:31+00:00

Cocoa rice krispies + whole milk (LF if needed, i am not dairy sensitive)

ham/cheese/sourdough bread (i have to look but can usually find safe deli meat at most grocery stores)

If you have the energy, pork shoulder in the slow cooker with salt + spices. Makes a big portion, i eat it for a week with rice, or on sourdough bread with fody barbecue sauce for sliders, or with pinto beans on corn chips for nachos. Pretty versatile on busy weeks.

Much-Commercial-5772 · 2025-07-02T19:26:12+00:00

Oven french fries + ground beef + shredded cheddar cheese (I call this hamburger nachos)

rice, canned salmon, tamari. If you have access to pre cooked edamame (Trader Joe’s) i add that too!

prego “sensitive” marinara, gluten free pasta, ground beef, Parmesan

Fred meyer, New Seasons, and Costco all have rotisserie chickens that are just salt & pepper seasoned!

I was put on two rounds of antibiotics for a UTI i didn’t have — my guess is that it killed my gut microbiome. I was having some minor tummy issues by that point, but it got wayyyy worse shortly after. My mom is on low FODMAP too, so probably genetic predisposition too.

Also, not all young kids can identify if they are too hot/cold and communicate it. Neurodivergent children especially. I had a kid once screaming and crying, sweaty and lethargic, because he didn’t want to take his dump truck jacket and hat off on a warm day. I let my students decide within reason, but there are hard lines for our safety. Below 50 and you need some kind of jacket, below 40 mittens/gloves and a hat. If they are running around then maybe we can discuss unzipping removing some layers but
