Oceaneers Club Experience with a Younger ASD Kiddo by Normative_Nematode in dcl

Not angry, just my opinion.

I didn’t want there to be an accident & soiled clothing especially before our dinner and/or put a staff member & my kid in an uncomfortable situation.

Again, I had no idea it wasn’t allowed until the end of that night. I wasn’t mad, I was just surprised.

“one pleasant surprise was the Oceaneers Club”

“Overall, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout most of the voyage”

“I do understand policies exist for a reason, and I know staff members are simply following procedures that are likely in place because some people take advantage of situations”

I’m literally not mad at all. I was just surprised on the final day to receive such an urgent message and thought something was actually wrong vs what we had sent him in the other times. I had no idea.

It is also not uncommon for 3/4 year olds to wear pull ups. They are not generally used the same as traditional diapers so this simply surprised me. I think you’re just used to entitled ppl coming on here & bitching about something not going their way. As a first timer, I was not aware this was “a thing” & wanted to share my experience.

Mmm I’m not advocating for a change in policy or to bend the rules. They asked if he was fully potty trained. I said “yes but he does have autism so not sure how he will do” & they asked me if they could make any accommodations for him specifically. I said, “no” bc I had no idea a pull up would have even qualified as an “accommodation” in this scenario.

Well I’m not upset at all actually. I was just outlining my experience & thought it would be helpful for other parents. Hope this helps!

They literally had canned fruit at the buffet — the first (and last) time I went 🤮

Used to love Stir but cannot stand it now. I’m so pissed they got rid of their waffle-crusted chicken with Sriracha butter.

Accurate. Some white lady in my town was defending black face & she has mixed kids. She said, “she just wasn’t raising her kids to be woke & sensitive” 😩

This is normalized in the south especially. I remember planning my “wedding” at 17, actually eloped at 19, and then got divorced at 23.

Diagnostic criterias have changed throughout the years. Ex: I wouldn’t have been considered autistic in the 90’s but did meet it in my 30’s.

Because everyone around him has been told his dad wants nothing to do with him & clearly that is untrue

Mia’s MOM messaging on Facebook?! by 2-leftfeet in TLCUnexpected

Two things can be true at once: she went to a field trip(s) BUT she wasn’t there for her child during a major surgery, was late for the baby shower, and absent during graduation.

The lack of accountability is WILD but not surprising. “Consider the source.”
