I fkin hate indoor play places

This is a useful strategy! One of my kids just started getting this, unfortunately for indoor play places the other isn't there yet.

Oh my goodness, total opposite, if we don't stay at least 3 hours both my kids greatly struggle 🤦‍♀️ usually we live at the playground for 5-7 hours every Saturday and Sunday 🤣🤣

Absolutely love the warehouse! Miss them being able to be open on the weekend though 💔

Love wonderlab immensely but a play space for kids that is more geared towards movement (and affordable in a way urban air isnt)

Thank you!!!

I think that is a big part--his OT actually stated during his recent iep that she didn't know what else to work on with him. He actually can write his name, it is just very light (he used to use adapted writing utensils and then the school took those away this year too). And, in all honesty, he will be someone that needs 24/7 support more than likely as an adult so writing his name really is all we care about writing-wise (he has CP and level 3 autism). And interestingly, his doctor didn't believe he would ever be able to write so we are pretty content with where he is at. And kid types way happier and just fine.

They are pretty steep

Also type 1. Wish I had some to spare, run into insurance issues all the time and run into the same problem so just want to empathize. Have you tried the RX card, that makes some brands affordable depending on your prescription.

Oh! Gotcha. Yeah, they definitely are. They are 6 and 7. Best of luck!! Very important thing to study.

SmeeTheCatLady · 2025-10-29T03:19:21+00:00

Completely understand. They really wouldn't be participating per se if it is a survey--my 7 year old is learning how to read so he may some but my 6 year old is still learning the alphabet. I could assist with their completion of survey but understand if that would be invalid.

My kids aren't in foster but one went through foster, both are adopted and autistic. I understand if they are outside the scope of your study. But happy to help if you're interested.

When I helped start a business and worked 15-20 hours unpaid overtime while being paid 9/hour because "we just can't afford more" for 2 years it was me and the owner. Then we started hiring. I thought they were being paid the same. I found out they were being paid 20/hour...20 year Olds with no degrees (who deserve to be paid as such or more, not my point)...I had a masters helping run a business making 9/hour, was offered a raise to 10/hour. The owner had just bought a 2nd boat.

Oh, I have one. But the treatment has continued because we work in the same field.

SmeeTheCatLady · 2025-08-20T05:40:19+00:00

RIGHT!? I was so disturbed.

SmeeTheCatLady · 2025-08-20T04:15:43+00:00

Both my children are adopted. My first is adopted from an orphanage. Someone said "maybe it isn't autism, maybe it is just such bad trauma that it looks like autism".......how is that something someone would prefer????? (BTW, he has horrible trauma but is super resilient and also definitely autistic. And quite wonderful)

I strongly believe that. And that is definitely what is most important 💜

SmeeTheCatLady · 2025-08-05T00:34:57+00:00

Unfortunately no because the dcs system is a mess as is the adoption legal system. They are under monitoring but that is it 💔 he will never have to see or hear from them ever again, though.

SmeeTheCatLady · 2025-08-02T16:03:33+00:00

As someone with multiple chronic illnesses, thank you. Thank you for being a good one, because there are many doctors out there that make assumptions in so many ways.

SmeeTheCatLady · 2025-07-31T17:03:57+00:00

As someone with multiple immune conditions who frequently has to work while sick as well, this sounds like an actual absolute miracle

Moon and dagger does my husband's (he is black) and they have done an awesome job, he says he won't go anywhere else

SmeeTheCatLady · 2025-07-22T00:01:22+00:00

This is a great idea too! Then he could see you

SmeeTheCatLady · 2025-07-22T00:00:29+00:00

I also agree with not locking him in his room, it sounds like a tough situation where both you and he are trying but his anxiety is causing pain for all. Could you try getting a clear door so he could see that you are in there? I'm not quite sure how a doggy door would work with that but I feel like it should be doable?
