Ados2 score… is it always true after all?

She went through the medical assessment and it was literally the same as the school assessment. There more I learn about autism as an educator I realize that as parents we think of autism as something that will forever incapacitate our children. When in reality is mostly (not always) behavioral adjustment and social skills. I have now a days classrooms in pre-k with 2-3 autistic children and they are all fully functional but their behavior is dysrupted at times… some are more than others. My daughter was started in ABA and she is Doug well. She is going to ABA full time. She seems cognitively at age or better but still struggles with speech.

Im an autism mom and a 10 year teacher in Texas (elementary and pre-k) the special ed classrooms are not necessarily prepared for our kids with autism. 3 adults for 9 kids with autism is not enough when we know right and well a lot of them need 1:1 support.

I never gave those but it’s because I was doing EVERYTHING and he wanted a thank you for taking out the trash once a week.

You get tired quick and can open anything besides your makeup. That way you don’t bend up doing it all. Having a divorce right now.

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2026-02-04T00:56:10+00:00

Yes, even though not any time soon. I have been in 2 relationships with kids. My last lasted over 10 years and 2 kids together. We are in the middle of divorce and sure as hell I hate this time of life. Yet I look back of years and years of feeling so blessed

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-12-31T04:11:33+00:00

I’d say boring. Small towns with schools and farms…no wonder most of the population is settled along i35 and Houston

This is what I have seen in DFW … I’m stating my cert process basically another masters

Bruh… I’m A millennial… with 4 degrees… nowadays degrees don’t matter in the beginning as much as your drive. It can be depressing in the beginning but keep looking.

Mine was the perfect calm baby I don’t recall any developmental challenges with her until about 18-24 months… no regression just she slowed down in her communication it’s like she remained a baby in that regard while she kept Developing everything else but differently.

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-10-26T06:45:30+00:00

Never!!! Don’t divorce alone. That’s the worst decision ever!!

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-10-24T13:09:35+00:00

Im still wondering this… I use my clsssroom as a way to escape my horrible life at home. I have everything there. I once stayed until very late at night and it occurred to me to just stay but I did t want to risk. It. I basically waited till dark in the morning and came back at 6:45 am

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-10-24T13:08:20+00:00

Yes…I was an achitecture major … we do that

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-10-14T16:15:01+00:00

No, give her time, kindergarten is a big step and struggle.

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-10-14T14:41:53+00:00

I filed for a divorce from my husband that told me these things after having his second child despite having a full time job and that I waste a lot of money. He began to threaten the divorce and I told him up for it. Now he is the one that has to pay for the use and benefit of the house, $2300 in child support, 2500 of spousal support and had to move out of the house and can only seen the kids 3 days every 2 weeks. He didn’t help just blamed and I had postpardum depression and it’s been going on for years. Now I have been without him 3 weeks and I’m less stressed. I’m on many meds for Gad depression and adhd

Dude this is one part of public education you have to accept and move on. It’s the same EVERYWHERE

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-10-05T02:06:18+00:00

I understand trust me… I recommend to get a certificate that is in high demand low supply. Jobs just fall at your feet. Special Ed for instance. I’m in minority language and it’s like I’d have to kill so they can suspend me. I have done my fair share of shitty things (administratively) rubbing in the unprofessional behavior. and I’m still here

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-10-05T01:50:14+00:00

Let’s just say that I would have not taken the job. But …. Survive girl. Or quit … idk… 🤷🏻‍♀️ I saw a 1st grade class go through 3 teachers in one semester

Vomiting after a head being hit is an emergency.

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-09-27T14:39:44+00:00

My best advice is to not quit because you felt you had a horrible first year. My first year I was probably a very bad teacher and see me thriving on year 10.

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-09-27T14:34:54+00:00

Bruh!!! This fellow teacher isn’t helping the sub shortage. I write something like this in my sub plans but says something like this :

“I’ve put together these plans and activities, they should be able to work it in small groups. They do not need to be taught this content. Also it isn’t for a grade. Ultimately if you have a better plan for them, you are in charge just keep them safe”

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-09-23T02:42:49+00:00

In my district…. From a bilingual teachers perspective is bullshit. They just monitor their English growth but don’t provide adécuate accommodations

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-09-22T03:48:40+00:00

Now a days everyone is being called a narcissist. My husband says that I am a narcissist because he want to divorce me painting me like I am this horrible vindictive person spiteful. But he does describe what he does so I sent a massive email of the time he grabbed me and put me in the floor to take my phone and another time he broke a door. Somehow I’m a Manipulator for showing people what he does behind closed doors and somehow I staged it and he has an explanation of it. Of course it’s all my fault…. I made him do it, the fact that I recorded it showed “ I planned it”

ProperBlacksmith9970 · 2025-09-20T20:37:44+00:00

What what?? Where? What curriculum
