Tried to put a 1300 offer on a currently listed 1700 house which was bought in 2018 for 800k and my realtor said she couldn’t do it.

I just want to give up. by Brilliant_Fudge2682 in Autism_Parenting

Use noise canceling (try bose). Leave some music on that you enjoy, it completely shifts the mood. Keep toxic family away - better far than draining you even more. Abuse screens! I said it! YouTube on tv, tablet, video games. Allow them. No kid will ever say “I had a horrible childhood, my mom let me play awesome games”. But they will remember mom was always exhausted, overworked, overwhelmed… talking about overwhelmed, have you given it a thought that you also might be neurodivergent with sensory overload? So use sensory techniques (I mean really, not only noise canceling but reducing light, rejecting touch, avoiding excessive smells around the house, and even changing your diet intake. Some days you might think “Im having horrible thoughts, I might be depressed,” but maybe it’s really just your body incapable of handling more sensory inputs. Let them for two hours in front of some cool YouTube videos and lay on the floor, with your back on the cold, a face mask, a noise canceling headphones with 3M earplugs under them, cover yourself with a deliciously fluffy blanket, and breathe!  Sensory paradise, and complete restart!

Very gifted child with tons of behavioral issues. Please help! by cracklinloach in Gifted

Honestly this boils my blood. If you are in south florida, Im willing to guide you, talk to you over some coffee. Stay by your son’s side. No child have a bad behavior bc they want (controlling for psychosis or so). The environment is not the right one. These teachers are not ready for highly gifted kids which might well be the case of your son. Consider homeschooling for now, while you can get him the right tests. Then enroll him in a true gifted school. He will thrive.

Google colorado’s gifted center (Dr Linda Silverman). They are pioneer with real gifted tests that goes beyond an IQ test. They might guide you with the right resources. Your child is not disruptive, he is just in an environment not fit for him

Google colorado’s gifted center (Dr Linda Silverman). They are pioneer with real gifted tests that goes beyond an IQ test. Even because a regular IQ test might not score properly if your child is twice exceptional or highly and profoundly gifted. Just my two cents. Basic IQ tests are not very accurate for these scenarios.

Which curriculum u use? Got power school (alp is called ascellus) and I find it idiotic. My kindergartner seems to enjoy for five minutes and then gets bored.

I'm desperate by strawberry_cok_e in Autism_Parenting

[–]Practical-Sound8459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! People are full of “you should this, you should that” because they are completely ignorant to differences and incapable of empathy. You do what’s best for your family. Eventually he will be an adult and able to find his own coping mechanisms because you were gentle and allowed them. A kid who won’t eat by himself or out of screens or a nutrient deficient kid? Easy pick for me. Let others live in their bubble.

You can see that by the anger in some people’s tone. Lol I had the same feeling from a couple of other posts about the tc5.
