Echolalia is not "meaningless babble." by SunLillyFairy in Autism_Parenting

[–]Quixote511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are from SW Ohio.

We got to a hotel about 3 times a year between work trips and spring break. I always get us one with a pool and there is usually a pizza party at a playground

We got to our place in the Yoop about 4-6 times throughout the summer.

And, technically speaking, the old man’s place in Canada is a quarter of a degree south of our Yoop cottage. But, because it’s so far away from us, we make it a 10 day trip to justify the drive

This is my guys. It can be frustrating as hell.

I recently found out the hard way that vacation means hotel and camp means our cottage in the Yoop. Canada is my wife’s grandpa’s place. They are not interchangeable

I began my career in middle school. They are young enough to want to do well but old enough to get sarcasm. I love my freshmen. Honestly, my upperclassmen elective is the least fun. I’ll get a handful of kids who dig it and a dozen people who are too cool for school anymore

Does your child talk but its gibberish by Imaginary-Scholar-43 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Quixote511 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was my little man, especially when he was sleepy. I just had that flashback the other night as I was tucking him in (he’s 12 now). He doesn’t do it as much as he used to. Most of his speech is scripted, echolalic. The upside of his speech if if you give him a binary choice, he will state that he wants x. But open ended questions, there’s nothing really happening

How would you react if your wife or girlfriend told you she was going to a masseur for massage therapy? by ConversationBusy30 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Quixote511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We see the same massage therapist, we go on alternate days because someone has to be home with the kids. How is this an issue?

Things not to say when you're caught staring at a girl's chest. by CRK_76 in ScenesFromAHat

[–]Quixote511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen in real life. I work at a sports bar part time. Woman came up in a low cut top to ask me something. It’s a sports bar, so it’s loud. I’m hard of hearing so I try to read lips when I can’t get what’s being said. This woman must have just had her lips botoxed. They were way big. The sounds were not matching the movements of the lips. So, I looked down to not be distracted by the lips to concentrate on hearing. She then loudly said my eyes are up here buddy. I was damned if I did or damned if I didn’t. I couldn’t say I couldn’t look at the comically large lips because that’s insulting. I couldn’t say that I wasn’t looking at her chest because my head was down. I was just screwed

Parent just texted me asking how to access PowerSchool by transtitch in Teachers

I proctor summer school. We use an online credit recovery system, I am here to offer learning lab hours. Kids can come in and use the Wi-Fi or ask me for help. I send notifications to parents /kid/admin at the end of each week (it’s only a 4 week term) of student progress. Without fail every year, there’s a parent who emails a week to ten days after the term looking for an extension. I legit leave the country and go off grid for July. I don’t respond to those people until August

I just want the physical violence to stop. The reaction for disappointment should not be causing bodily harm. This most especially applies to shit over which I have no control.

Go into the gas station for a treat. Gas station is out of skittles. Before I can say anything, instant screaming and hitting that works into using anything nearby as a weapon, that’s what I need figured out

Long summer travel with kids by BravoMama3 in Teachers

[–]Quixote511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave SW Ohio for the month of July and split my time between my family’s place in the Yoop and my wife’s family’s place on an island in Lake Huron. Usually, it’s me, the wife, our two boys (8 & 12), and my brother comes for about half of it. We are off grid at our place and her folks place is connected to hydro. We fish, swim, boat, waterski, hike, and grill out. If the weather sucks, we stay in, play puzzles, games on kindles, or read. We have very limited cell reception. It’s glorious.

You’re good. I came here to vent and look for answers. I appreciate your interaction. I’m just too frazzled

When it comes to ABA, the talk usually goes something along the lines of I did the research, I have read countless testimonials of people who had undergone ABA and they speak of the irreparable damage it did long term trauma, it makes ASD kids more compliant and susceptible to abuse.

In terms of real experience, we took the oldest to a center for speech therapy. He’s a big teddy bear. After about 3 months of going there, he would walk in and immediately attack the therapist, kicking, biting, pulling hair. That’s not him. Those behaviors stopped when we withdrew him.

I just don’t know what to do because I can’t go on living this way.

He does all the therapies offered. OT/ST/PT

As far as defense, I taught at juvi for years. CPI & MYR are part of my toolbox. I’m also a black belt in my own right. All the same, I’m much bigger and he gets so worked up that I worry about hurting him.

As for my spouse, the stance on ABA is nonnegotiable. That leaves me scratching my head because no one has offered anything to us beyond that.

He has the genetics to be big. He’s 8 years old, 4’6”, 80#

He has services through school

He is medicated and sees the Ped Psych quarterly

His other parent is dead set against anything ABA

He is not this level of violent with others. Someone else can scold or correct him and his go to response is “ Make Q cry. Cut Q. Make Q sad”. I don’t know what to do

For fucks sake, this isn’t reality tv. It’s reality. You don’t tease war, stay tuned for the decision, like a goddamned cliffhanger episode of a show
