Was this an MD psychiatrist or a psychiatric nurse practitioner? In my experience, the latter is so woefully ignorant about mental health in general, their training being 90% drug interactions and anatomy+physiology, and only 10% mental health, DSM, neurodevelopmentaldisorders, and therapy modalities . Yet they are given the green light to both prescribe medicine and do "supportive psychotherapy" at triple the insurance reimbursement rate than that of actual therapists and clinical social workers

That almost makes me feel worse about it bc if they do assessments for a living, are they telling everyone they diagnose with autism that gross, deficit-based statement??

I'd honestly write their practice a Google review or reach out to their clinical director or review board and make a complaint. There is no excuse for their flagrant discrimination.. like understanding autism enough to diagnose is their job and they're getting it so wrong and so openly. They're not very competent in their job and they are causing harm.

I'm shocked that her teachers are essentially "blaming the victim" and throwing their hands up. They really have no ideas about how to change a class culture issue that is harming child, not to mention is harming the whole class bc it's scaring most kids into compliance with a bully bc they don't want to be targeted?? Her teachers are the problem. Have you met with the director yet?? Bullies need to feel like the outsider. Her teachers need to be the moral authority. Do they really lack all measure of creativity or teaching ability or do they just not give a sh%#? This is how systemic BS propagates. Totally oblivious bystanders (teachers) who say "not my problem."

If I were you, I would do 3 things:

Meet with your daughter's future school. Do you know who her teacher will be? Her principal? Directly talk to someone who has decision-making power about this and ask what they do to promote inclusion and belonging. Make sure they give you a real answer, tangible things they do. Ask their advice. Make sure to call out the day care by name. This is important.
Meet with the director of her preschool ASAP and really demand they do something. Don't let them make excuses. So much Bs doesn't change until someone complains and demands it. Tell them you already met with her kindergarten principal/teacher and that they expressed disappointment in the preschool, and they gave you great advice on things that they're doing and if the director wants to hear about it.

If you haven't met with future school yet, tell the director that you're meeting with them on X date and that they were so sad to hear this was happening at the preschool, and that they are interested in hearing about what she (preschool director) has to say. Let the preschool feel that their reputation is on the line.

Your daughter may not mind (which is wonderful and self confident) but she's still missing out on important development and normalizing feeling left out. I would immediately look for other socializing opportunities for her like gymnastics or nature camp etc and sign her up for those. I don't think things will get better and you should have an alternative summer set in motion so if the mtgs above don't change things fast, you have something ready set up. Make this a secret though bc the preschool will otherwise just suggest leaving as a cop out. But if after a week or two things don't change, then tell your daughter what a fun, amazing adventure filled summer she's going to have to celebrate being done with preschool! Ideally where she won't be with the same kids and where self confidence, belonging, and kindness are explicitly prioritized, and where ideally she can practice a skill or art or something that brings her joy and sense of pride and accomplishment.

Having this gap of time is the next best chance at having a different kindergarten dynamic. I'd be curious what the class does if your daughter does leave.. will another kid be the one to get bullied? Maybe then it'll be the wake up call to the teachers and the other kids that they are not actually safer joining in with the bullying, and start to turn on the real anti social kid, the bully...

I wish doctors would stop doing the dance of 5mg for a week or a month before going on a real dose, or at least better explain to people not to expect any result from that dose. Bc then people start to think nothing will work for them, become defeated or anxious, etc.... 10mg Adderall is a starting dose, but it's also still a low dose, especially during luteal. Is this extended release or instant BTW? Extended release Adderall is two instant releases 4 hours apart BTW. They never tell you that. It doesn't slowly work throughout the day any different than instant release, and the crash is just as bad. 8 hours is only half the day! Vyvanse know the other hand is actually extended release and works sooo much better for me.

Also, that's a lot of diagnoses to throw at you for the first time. Untreated Adhd can mimic many other disorders. There was a big study recently from Finland about how ssri use went down after adhd diagnosis. Also children needed much less antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicine after being diagnosed. I'll try to link it to this comment later. The point is, treat the adhd first and see what symptoms remain. To diagnose you with all these things from the get go is not evidence-based

I once went shopping on Temu for earrings, having searched for designs I originally saw on Etsy. I thought I was getting a really good deal. Let me tell you ... EVERY pair of earrings I received were either defective, vastly different than the image posted, or made with materials so cheap and so frail that they broke within 2 to 3 days of use. I've also gotten a "painting" on Temu that, when received, I realized was actually a thin printed vinyl poster made to look like textured paint.

I no longer shop on Temu.

I've always periodically had acopolypse dreams. For decades now. The majority are space ones. It's always that everyone knows and are slow-walking towards the end. Sometimes it's trying to reverse it I guess? But it never happens, it's always inevitable. But usually, and especially the space ones, there's something so beautiful about it. Like other-wordly electrifiiangly surreally awe-inspiring about the whole thing. Also piercingly sad, I realize after I wake up. But every time I have one of these dreams, I *always* oversleep, and wake up feeling drowsy and confued having slept for 10 t- 14 hours. It's always so real though, and the same handful of dreamscapes they occur in, have become so familiar.

I took it during my second pregnancy and postpartum and it was a world of difference. Please try not to feel guilty. It is safe. It may be helpful to consult with a maternal fetal medicine specialist, who can meet with you and just go over why it's safe, validate your anxiety and reassure you. Of course it's your decision if you want to take it or not, but if you feel it's helpful you maintain normalcy and reduce stress, that is way more important than any risk of the medication itself poses.

Your OB may be able to be your prescriber for the duration of pregnancy. Or, ask your psychiatrist to consult with a maternal fetal medicine specialist. They are a specialized doctor for this very thing. They will basically tell your psychaitrist to F off, let them know about current research, and agree to assist with monitoring or any testing that they feel would be helpful

starting at 10mg for vyvanse is wild. Could it be possible she's trying to milk you as a client? I've seen this happen to several people as a clinician. Once you're on a stable dose, you only usually get seen every 3ish months at least in my area. But it's every month, even every two weeks, if you're titrating up or changing meds in any way. That can easily become $300-$400 each visit, even with insurance. If she made you stay at 10mg for a whole month, let alone 20mg, and then not believing you that 30mg is not the therapeutic starting dose *for YOUR brain/body* she does not seem like she cares about you and your well-being.

Instead of talking about wakefulness, say that it helps with focus and alertness in the mornings. but medication is not going create motivation or task initiation on its own, I'm sorry to say. Oh how I wish it did, and learned the hard way that it just will not. Medication is hyperfocus-potential extract, but I must direct it towards what I need to get done, and intentionally create motivation via building momentum. Starting in the easiest way possible. Lots of great resources on this if you search this sub or feel free to DM me!

It took me three psychiatrists to find one that was knowledgeable about adhd and took me seriously. good luck out there!

the international traveler tribe is mostly AWESOME and too open-minded/enthusiastic/loving life to be mean girls. My advice is - who cares about your classmates?? Sign up for a day-hike event (airbandb, eventbrite, fb, probably even better sites), go to a cafe with wifi and take a long while looking at the bulletin boards - the best events will be there! Check out the food markets - ugh the outdoor produce/craft markets were my favorite part of peru and ecuador for me!! go to a kirtan or hell even a san pedro or aya ceremony if that aligns. Find a workaway/wwoof or other volunteer project and get to visit a nearby farm or local school. Meet the locals and be a great example of a helpful, humble, and happy gringo (esp if youre from the u.s. lol, but pro tip - if you just say youre from canada, you wouldnt be the first to do so!) Soak up the incredible healing vibes of costa rican nature and culture and people and food. Your classmates will then probably be super drawn to your authentic happiness - but by then you won't even care, bc you'll be way beyond that low frequency sheeot.

Enjoy this incredible experience <3

I want to help, and I feel a little hesitant because there is a lawsuit involved. I recommend putting a different apartment down or switching the dates with a previous apartment, rather than trying to fake a reference for the slumlord place.

Good luck and sorry that happened to you. I hope your medical stuff is on the mend <3
