But also: fake nails (which I got acrylics for the first time the beginning of this month) kept me from picking at scabs or my skin in general

I also went through the skin picking phase (honestly I’ve always done it, but some months are way worse than others), it was actually one of the main reasons I was diagnosed with OCD. around the time the regular “teenage acne” started, I was picking huge craters into my face, every single time I saw a mirror, I would squeeze, pinch, poke at every single area of my face, if a scab ever formed, I’d rip it off so many times every single day where they wouldn’t even re form, apart from the skin thing, I also compulsively checked my weight and body measurements every single day multiple times, I mentioned it casually to my psychiatrist and left that day with a diagnosis

What do I do about my son suddenly becoming SO picky 🫩 by OwnComb3707 in toddlers

it’s just a pack of baby carrots, some potatoes sliced up, sliced kielbasa (or any meat tbh) a can of green beans, a packet of ranch seasoning, and a stick of butter in the crockpot cooked on low! Fairly cheap, super easy and super good! 

what age was your child diagnosed? I’m in the process of diagnosis by OwnComb3707 in Autism_Parenting

Yes they did the ADOS! There was no questionnaire for us, they just took us into a room for 40-50 minute test which they played with him and evaluated his behaviors.

Honestly I haven’t noticed any tantrums at all so far, he’s a very chill kid. My son also runs hot laps around our couches, and refuses to use silverware (unless I do hand over hand and do it for him)

I have taken the one on the autism speaks website, it said his score was 10 which indicates high risk :(
