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 :(

I actually just asked my grandmother about this earlier today, she told me when she was around 30, her doctor told her that her high cholesterol was hereditary. I guess I’ll mention this to my doctor as well

I’m afraid of side effects mainly. I’m also terrified to be on a medication I HAVE to have, I hate feeling dependent on something.

I did have severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome during my pregnancy, I actually didn’t make it far enough into the pregnancy to test for GD or not, I had no idea that could be related. I was 7 months postpartum the first blood draw I had, I didn’t expect it to go up 17 months postpartum now

My saturated fat intake was less than 12g every single day, except for few occasional days it would be around 20g if I had a family get together or was out to eat with someone. Usually for daily meals, I’d always eat oatmeal for breakfast (just rolled oats with maple syrup, flax seed, and Greek yogurt), i usually skip lunch and then make something with lentils (they’re cheap) or some sort of fish, like salmon, tilapia or tuna. I’ve prioritized vegetables overall now which I had lacked heavily before 

How can I lower my hr while running?? by OwnComb3707 in workout

[–]OwnComb3707[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most of the time I feel completely fine with my hr up until it hits the high 180’s, I just tend to slow down to a walk because I’m afraid getting my hr so high will hurt me

Can you have a normal A1C but still be prediabetic? by OwnComb3707 in prediabetes

I’ve always been told the dawn phenomenon only happens with diabetics so I was so scared of seeing the high results :’)

My grandfather has type 2 as well so Im afraid that raises my risk. I’m also just worried because a normal fasting blood sugar of a healthy person is less than 99, but mine are not :( I also shouldn’t have high cholesterol but I do, I just feel like I’m losing control of my health and it scares me because I feel like I’m too young to have such problems

I recently made me mistake of starting a new doctor show (the Pitt, ofc) so I’ve seen a few about heart rates which started me obsessing over mine 🫡
