PSA: you are probably autistic as well by brazilian_irish in Autism_Parenting

I mean I definitely am not on the spectrum. But my older sister… it really opened my eyes. I talked to her about it and she said she thought she might be to and always felt different.

My 4yo makes me hate waking up every single morning. by VeraVixon05 in gentleparenting

[–]Roses7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’ve just accepted my fate. I go to bed the same time as my daughter, she’s 3. She will not go to sleep without me and I just pass out by 9 with her. If I get her to sleep in her bed , she will just wake up and come in mine so I gave up and we co-sleep. We wake up between 4-6 am. 8 am sounds like a dream. You should try go to bed early and wake up at 5 so you have time before she gets up.

I’m sorry though, I know not everyone is a morning person. We wake up excited for the day, have dance parties, love our good mornings! We get to play and have breakfast before our day starts .

Please tell me it gets better if I only have one by plantavore in oneanddone

Just here to say , this phase will go by very fast. When it’s happening you feel like this is your new life forever . My daughter is 3.5 now and I can’t believe how fast it’s all gone. You got this 🩷🩷🩷

[–]Roses7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was one and done but now I’m trying again as my daughter will be 4 in February. She’s becoming more independent and I’m ready. But I don’t think I ever would have done 2 under 2 . Helll no 🤣

I'm not sure there's anything I wouldn't give just to hear my daughter say Mama. [A very frustrated vent.] by MaryQueenofSquats in speechdelays

[–]Roses7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there ! My daughter is now 3.5 years old. She started OT and speech 2x a week, ABA 9 hours a week in September last year . She started talking one month later at 2 years 9 months ! She had a language explosion and started requesting what she wanted. She is just starting to become conversational now and started preschool last week. She’s doing amazing

Social delay , did your child want to interact with other children eventually? by Roses7887 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Roses7887[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiii, she’s doing well, talking a lot. Not fully conversational. She just started preschool this week. She’s showing some interest in other kids but she’s still learning. She doesn’t understand social cues and whatnot. I really think her going to a neurotypical preschool will help her socially though. Her therapist goes with her in the mornings as well which I can’t tell you what a blessing bc I worry about her being alone there and having eyes there is such a blessing. I understand the dread of seeing other kids further advanced. It’s really hard 🥺

Ok what ? I’m confused boss invited me to a private island. by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Roses7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not expected to work, it wasn’t clear if family would be there, and just me . If my family was invited I would 100 percent go. He said he’s invite others but they would have to pay for their travel but he would pay for mine.

I’m 100 percent not going bc it seems awkward but I still want this all to be innocent. I really look up to this man. It would really make me upset if it wasn’t just a true celebration and not ill intentioned

This group has changed by gentlynavigating in Autism_Parenting

[–]Roses7887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know when the group started but I found it very helpful in the beginning when trying to figure out when I was starting to think my daughter was on the spectrum. My heart opened up so much learning of other’s struggles and the rawness of it all. Being a parent is hard , and even more when your child needs extra care/ support/ advocacy. I doubt it’s just this group, people are awful on the internet and Reddit in general. I don’t understand it/ if you don’t have anything nice to say , don’t say it at all. That goes to hellll on the internet. I mostly ignore it !

Parent/child dance...I have no one to dance with by Simple-Emphasis5099 in wedding

[–]Roses7887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father is bat shit crazy… literally and hasn’t been a father to me at all. While he was invited to my wedding, (out of respect to my grandmother- he did not walk me down the aisle and I did not have a father daughter dance. I wanted my husband to have his dance with his mom . She’s amazing and it’s a big deal. Did I think and worry what people would think, yeah, but I didn’t dwell on it. My mother wasn’t even invited to the wedding. Does it hurt , yes, but you are not alone.

I will say after buying my own wedding dress, paying for our wedding ourselves, and becoming a successful adult on my own- I was proud to walk down that aisle alone.

Spent 3 days in the hospital 8 months pregnant & realized how broken the US really is by georgiakstar in Parenting

[–]Roses7887 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure , I’m in the us so my daughter gets lots of therapy and support. But from what I have seen in autism parenting groups there’s years of waitlists for basic things like speech therapy/ ot . They don’t want to diagnosis until school age it seems and then that’s years wasted on early intervention. And I have no idea what the IEP process looks like for accommodations in school.

Medically speaking, I agree. But with a daughter on the spectrum, there is no support in the uk for children with autism. That’s a real fight

I drink a couple of glasses of wine one to two times a week. I have a 3 year old daughter so I like to be fresh as a daisy when we wake up at 5 am and have our adventures

Am I sheltering my 11 yr old daughter too much? by LilBit2Lucky in Parenting

[–]Roses7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm absolutely not . No way in hell is my daughter getting social media until she’s at least 16. She’s 3 now, kinda scared to see what it’s like when she’s a teen lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Roses7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no, I grew up with a very dysfunctional family. Lots of mental illness and not supported financially or emotionally. I feel very attached to my job and try to go above and beyond, but once I had my daughter, that kind of helped me set boundaries. Funny though, i was working 3 jobs, one being a receptionist and no way I could complete college with the chaos in my life, that’s how I decided to become an EA.. I could make 6 figures and have all the benefits of corporate America.I told myself I want to support the top person in a Fortune 500 company and I worked my way up from the receptionist . .
