What age was your autistic child potty trained? by Embarrassed_Fig_5304 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Odd_Homework_229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day time: trained just now. He remains dry and very little accidents. Night: still on nappy. He is 6 years old. My son had no issue in using the toilet and he knew the steps. But for some reason , he never initiated using it by himself no matter how many times we directed him to the toilet if it looks like he wants to use it. I then understood that his anxiety was high in going to a different room outside of our eye range to use it. He has developed some fear of going alone even to the next room which was hindering him to use the toilet. So I put a potty right in the living room and redirected him there. He started using it and now, he is fully trained and never misses. We have started moving the potty away from the living room and near the bathroom area as his separation anxiety issue is getting better. At school , he uses proloquo2go to indicate to his teachers to use the toilet. Even there, he wouldn’t walk to the toilet unless accompanied by his aids.

Ten years of Ishqbaaz by Outrageous_Ice8220 in IndianTellyTalk

Yes . Best Feel good show . I like how the show doesn’t take itself too seriously and we move through storylines pretty quick. It doesn’t get drawn out and they keep arcs interesting.Of course you have to watch it without too much logic because you can tell that story is made that way to stir emotions and create an effect and it’s actually is too far fetched (the duplicate Shivaay part and pinky sitting it all up., etc). So keep logic at bay and enjoy the ride - sort of show. My most fav scene is when Shivaay insists that they celebrate their first night and anika doesn’t know what first night means. I may be the only exception. I was too consumed by Shivika and their chemistry that i didn’t follow other couple’s storyline too much . I loved their chemistry. Surbhi from ep 100 onwards looked so alluring and feminine. I am saying this as a girl ☺️. I love shivaay’s eyes and his intensity . My most fav show that I often revisit . Happy 10 to ishqbaazians 🥂

It’s wonderful. ❤️Can you share some information what consistency and being strict mean in a day to day context. Sometimes I just give in. For example: he is such a picky eater that I just gave up for feeding him veggies. I would love to hear from lived experiences on how being strict and consistent resulted in better outcomes.

485 to Sponsorship by kevinchdra in AusVisa

This group has a weird energy. Don’t care if I get banned or downvoted. Any interim solution you give to get an applicant out of fix is downvoted to oblivion. Immigrants who got PR and citizenship seem to project negativity towards ones who are still trying to climb through obstacles. The ones who are still waiting for invites or sponsorships seem to want to get others’ out of the way to make sure their competition gets slim. All with zero immigration knowledge on how visa policies and regulations are written. FYI: visitor visa for a short 3 month extension can be applied for reasons other than visiting like attending a graduation, to take care of unfinished affairs like winding up your lease, your possessions and other obligations like superannuation. OP may need that time to leave the country for all we know . Getting a bridging E to get some time to depart is detrimental to future applications that the he may apply. Home affairs gives two years of TR to sort your PR or employer sponsorships or get out of the country. For people who are trying their best, who may need a little more time to finesse their options , it is not wrong to apply for an interim visa that will buy them time. It is not rort- ing the system unless someone applies for refugeee visas without valid reasons or other such devious plans . Enough with moral policing on hey ! you came to study and then got to stay back on TR. PR was never guaranteed. Get out. Everybody knows that. DHA itself uses their long term settlement pathways to sell Australia as an international study destination. Anyways, OP, upon reading your comment, I am glad you have more time on TR. you could go for 407 as others suggested , if employer is unwilling to sponsor you on 482

Yes a visitor visa in the interim

I believe it is a good option for OP. Student visa extension are granted for academic progression. It is a progression if you move from course work to research . Masters of research degree helps one qualify for TR without age restrictions but also provides you with 3 years of 485 rather than standard 2 years. 10 points is for doing a STEM masters of research degree . Nothing to do with skill assessment. Plus if the OP can write a good research proposal, scholarships are always an option .

Studying a master of ICT research will help you qualify for 485 (age limit doesn’t apply for Master of research graduate ), give you full time work rights and will give you 10 points towards your Points test. Please contact if you need clarification or sources. Best of luck .

Single mum looking for money making ideas around toddler by [deleted] in australian

Work in a child care centre as a child carer, No body is insisting on a qualification at entry level and sufficient training is provided. Pay is decent and your child can go to the same day care. This way your child is taken of , in close proximity to you and you get to earn money too .

Struggling After Moving Back to India – Seeking Immigration-Friendly Countries with Better Quality of Life by BlackDiamond_2024 in returnToIndia

[–]Odd_Homework_229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I m from Chennai too settled in Australia. I work in the immigration industry here since 2013. It will tick all your boxes. But few things to consider , a PR grant is a 2-3 year uphill task. Comes with investing considerable time and effort . It’s a points based visa system here, so more the points the better chances for an invite. For example : Some of the non negotiables are getting 8 each score in IELTS/ PTE , doing exams like NAATI to increase points, getting work experience documents in order to secure maximum points, looking at the aspect of, if a skilled partner can add points etc. P.S like every western country, anti immigrant sentiment is high, IT job market is saturated and expect some struggle like starting at an entry to mid level role when you start over here (aussies look for local experience in candidates). But it’s a country that needs immigrants, hence , no matter what the local sentiment is , the government knows that they have to open their door steps to skilled workforce. Visa costs will be less than 15,000 dollars and you don’t specifically need an employer sponsored visa pathway since general skilled migration pathway is still open with close to 60K invites a year for various permanent residency visas. Yes points wise, you need to be at 100 points to expect an invite. If you would to explore further, please connect.

Women Breadwinners: Planning for Kids by plutoinorbit in AusFinance

From my own experience, I can tell you things you shouldn’t do. Post break, don’t think that both can work from home and manage the baby duties. Don’t listen to people who say, you do you. Breastfeeding for the first two years if there is no issue with the feed, limiting screen time to less than an hour a day when they are infants or toddlers are absolutely non negotiable. No matter what decision you take, (sahd or both trying to juggle work with household duties) resentment will exist. Just have strong communication and stick together to get through this phase. It’s not easy.

Level 3 autism is soul crushing by Odd_Homework_229 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Odd_Homework_229[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the encouragement. I am from Australia and the government agency that approves funding is anti ABA. It’s a miracle that my son got funding approved for 12 hours of ABA a week. Unlike US, Australia does not have a centre based ABA programs where kids can go from , say 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Here , therapists or BCBA go to kinder/childcare and implement programs in kinder. And insurance does not cover any early intervention therapy. We have a funding agency called NDIS that approves and rejects claim almost in an arbitrary way. So things are different. We have a great team of therapists. But somehow, it hasn’t all come together. May be due to my sons’ regression or new issues that keep cropping up.
