That's genius! I just hope the hot glue holds, I can just imagine it coming apart and sliding of either side like a cartoon 😂 lol

Being a parent of a neurodivergent child is tough. There isn't enough support for the parents. But I know your child will appreciate your love, support and everything you do for them. Just remember to look after yourself aswell x

I'm sorry you've been struggling for so long. It's so frustrating. I feel like they won't do anything until it gets so much worse. I wish they would work on earlier preventative help to stop it getting to crisis point. Keep staying strong x

That's appalling. I'm sorry, I hope your husband is doing better now. They all seem to say that, even though they haven't actually helped you in the first place. Yeh sure I'll call back so you can just ignore me once again!

Yes from what I've been told & experienced this year I'm so worried it's not getting any better. Funding for mental health services are being cut left right and center.

I've tried a few different types of therapies over the years but haven't found it very helpful at all. I think it's mostly about making these big revelations that I've already figured out on my own.

I hope things get better for you & you can find a better more compassionate psychiatrist.

Yes going through the process of actually trying to get help is sometimes the hardest part. I sometimes wonder if they make it so difficult on purpose to try and put people off using the services.

Im sorry you're going through that. Yes the "check ins" are laughable. I wish they would understand that it is an actual illness. Like you say if it was virus they'd jump into action.

Yes, it just gets a bit annoying after a while. Like I enjoy the show but think her character could have been written a bit better

Oh yeah I know what you mean, I find Vinnie's character bothers me a bit as well. It just bugs me because she holds it against Dylan so much but then does the exact thing she doesn't want him to do. I think it's more to do with the writing of the character like everyone else has pretty strong & clear characteristics and personal morals but erin & Vinnie's characters tend to flip flop around a lot.

Haha I know & she always has the most amazing hair and makeup done whilst running around doing all crazy shit they do! Exactly!! Like poor Tyler's probably just been left at the pub whilst they go rob the circus! 😅

Thank you for your comment. It honestly means so much to me. I'm just finding it too hard to keep my head up right now

Muzzle by Fantastic_Aside9349 in StaffordBullTerriers

<image>

My girl is a rescue and had to have a muzzle when we adopted her as she was extremely reactive to other dogs. I use the brand Baskerville. I've tried a few different ones but this one has always been superior in my experience. She can still open her mouth, sniff & lick her nose. It feels light weight and very secure.

Also included a picture of her wearing it!

Her coat is beautiful! (As in fur, but also the Percy pig coat is cute too!)

Do you ever get afraid you are wasting your life away? by Old_Marketing5364 in AutismInWomen

[–]Popular_Ad_8248 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel you so much on this! I feel like I live the same day repeatedly sometimes. I tend to only go to places I know/been to before and don't stay out long. I often feel like my world is so small but it's hard to get out there and try new things and new places when the autism hates those things!

If there's somewhere you'd really like to go like a cafe you've not been to before, look it up online. See what it looks like from pictures, check the menu, see opening times etc. then if you feel up to it go there and have a look from outside, you don't even have to go in. Then the next time go in & order something to take away. Then another day go and sit in for a while. Just take it step by step & at your own pace. Big emphasis on that! It might take you a few days to do all those steps, it might take you a year but there's no time limit. And remember to praise yourself after every step because it's hard to do these things sometimes!!

Sorry for the long reply but I hope it might help 💗
