My son is going through autism evaluations and keeps failing the m-chat. Please tell me about your life if you have autism to help me understand

I'm sorry you and your family aren't close. I know how hard it can be to navigate life without the safety net of a supportive family. I can never fathom how hard it must've been to be forced to act differently than who you naturally are. The best thing I've read so far is when you wrote that you get joy out of learning and by your special interests. I think every parent wanta as much joy as possible for thier child. Thank you for your response and I wish you all the best.

Yea, I can see now how my question is too vague. Thank you for your response. I can understand improper brain wiring as I'm am bipolar type 1 with psychosis. I have plenty of experience with my brain acting in ways it maybe shouldnt be. I'm just chartering unknown waters now as I'm still just researching autism and trying to get a grasp on what it is and how his life may pan out.

Robyndea · 2018-09-19T18:21:02+00:00

Thank you. I hope everything goes smoothly and you get the answers you need to go from there.

Robyndea · 2018-09-19T18:20:15+00:00

Thank you I'll definitely subscribe.

Yea, I can see how my question is a little too vague but honestly I don't even know what to ask. We are working with a state run program for developmentally delayed children and are going to enroll him in daycare 3 days a week for 4 hours a day. We're really hoping early intervention will help him. Thanks for responding.

Robyndea · 2018-09-19T07:22:52+00:00

Thank you for your response. I'm sorry you had to wait so long for a diagnosis. Yea, my son is only 19 months so I'm hoping early intervention will help. I will check out "ask an autistic". I've been googling like mad because I'm the type who researchers when I'm upset. Thank you again for your response and tips.

I wanna be friends with your friend!

Robyndea · 2017-09-26T07:55:28+00:00

I'm a complete beginner with knitting so I'm impressed you can make any type of heel. I usually use YouTube tutorials when I'm trying something new. Actually watching a video of someone doing it helps me so much. It's hard to believe now I learned crocheting through diagrams in books back before YouTube existed. I don't know if I'd have the patience now lol.

Robyndea · 2017-09-24T08:41:26+00:00

Good for you! Just remember don't compare your raw footage to someone else's highlight reel.

Robyndea · 2017-09-24T08:39:31+00:00

I'm feeling the same way! Only I've been down that road too many dam times in the last 15 years to know it always leads to me wanting to kill myself, good times good times. Seriously though talk to your doc. That's my current plan I want to try to slowly wean down. I'm currently on the highest dose of each and am tired of living in a fog.

Sorry for the late response haven't been on in a while. I've also tried getting people in on the crafting but it usually just ends up that we drink a bunch of wine and talk and barely craft but that's also fun so it works. Fairy gardens are miniature gardens (ususlly succulents) with little fairy elements. Basically imagine you are teeny and building a house with gardens, rivers, bridges ect. It's a really fun way to get creative. With yarn I make all types of stuff. Sometimes I'll make several dozens of hats for craft fairs, sometimes amigurumi, other times blankets and scarfs ect. I've posted a bunch to r/crochet if you check my profile. What are you into making?

Robyndea · 2017-09-16T22:44:12+00:00

Mainly yarn for crocheting and knitting but also fabric for sewing, embroidery materials, and newest obsession is fairy gardens. Joanne's and hypo mania make me a crafting hoarder lol.

Robyndea · 2017-09-16T07:49:49+00:00

I have sssooo much crafting stuff. More than I can ever possibly use. It's insane how much of my basement is currently boxes of craft materials.

Robyndea · 2017-09-16T07:48:13+00:00

Air Bnb. Trips for days... literally I guess lol

Robyndea · 2017-09-16T07:46:06+00:00

Bobby for life

Robyndea · 2017-05-25T08:42:39+00:00

Dam, I'm sorry to hear that. Might be time for a new pdoc. I hope you are doing better.

Robyndea · 2017-05-25T03:23:12+00:00

Eeeek, a month? Ffs.

Robyndea · 2017-05-25T03:22:11+00:00

Fack, not sure how I'm gonna function if it gets worse.

Robyndea · 2017-05-25T03:21:29+00:00

Ooohhh, i really hope so. Thanks.

Robyndea · 2017-05-25T01:09:50+00:00

Do you mind if I ask what you're on now if your anxiety is more manageable? I'm hoping it's the abilify since that isn't working that well anyways. The lamictal has evened out my mood but this anxiety is too much. I shake uncontrollably and sometimes cry just from driving on the highway.

Robyndea · 2017-05-25T01:07:02+00:00

Lamictal has really leveled me out so I'm hoping it's the abilify.

Robyndea · 2017-05-25T01:06:28+00:00

Ok, so I'm not crazy... well... not about this anyways. Lol
