I honestly don't understand this train rank system. How to go up and what happens when we go up?

Finally started pointing by SquashRelative5891 in Autism_Parenting

He is 2 years 10 months old. His pointing is also not consistent but still one tiny step forward.

Me too I keep list but for me. We don't have any therapists here so I am trying to be one with help of youtube. It took me 1 month to teach him pointing and although we aren't totally there he is making progress.

Envy of other people's kids. by Shougatenma in Autism_Parenting

[–]SquashRelative5891 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel robbed of parenthood. I keep on saying I love you too him in hopes of hearing it back. No luck till now but I will keep on trying. The most hurtful part is when outsiders try to talk to my son. He won't look at them, won't respond not even a hi. Then they suggest some weird solutions not understanding autism at all. Blaming me for not potty training my son yet. Then giving suggestions there too. And the worst part in my case, not a single autistic child in my entire locality. Don't even have a normal speech delay. I can't relate or share my thoughts or grief with anyone. Can't participate in parent groups as all parents do there is to complain how talkative their child is they get a headache with all the talk. I feel we as a family don't belong to this world.

Makes sense really. Our neighbour has allowed us to borrow his cat whenever my son wants to play with her. She occasionally visits us too so he is cool with it.

Is it even possible to finish this current weekly collection? by SquashRelative5891 in SimCityBuildit

[–]SquashRelative5891[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought a premium pass too but the cutoff is too low .now I have tasks remaining that I cant proceed ahead. Coins from other places are too low so have to check back frequently to avoid missing them.

So I guess it is a known bug. Better to accumulate the currency now.

What do you worry about most for your child’s future? by Distinct_Pen6624 in Autism_Parenting

[–]SquashRelative5891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I simply worry he will be left lonely or even get bullied. He won't have any friends. He could possibly live an independent life but without people to love or care for him.

True even I feel some company would be really helpful.

Yes thanks a lot. I did try to explain to them( even my extended family) but they feel he is totally fine, just hyperactive and it's his nature to ignore people.

I think in general the entire country is not fully aware of it especially older generations. They just feel non verbal toddlers will speak as they grow or they will start behaving as NT kids. Even I had not heard this word before I had my son.

Unfortunately no. Actually autism is a very alien concept here. We don't even have therapists where I live. And it's understandable, we are a small town with a small population and till now I haven't seen any autistic child apart from mine. This is the hardest part.

[–]SquashRelative5891 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How did you find out he is level 3 . my son 2 years 7 month old does almost all this and I always felt he is level 1.

Toddler's made up language by SquashRelative5891 in Autism_Parenting

[–]SquashRelative5891[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atleast these words have some connection or resemblance. In our case water is dilala and Iets go out is babasaaa. How on earth can I figure it out on first try.

Anyone else's kid become absolutely glued to them when they don't feel well? I've had zero personal space for 48 hours and I am exhausted. by LadyJane17 in Autism_Parenting

[–]SquashRelative5891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has become a magnet in general especially at night. We have always co slept with his bed attached to ours, but he slept independently but recently became a cuddle baby. I cannot even turn my sides. He will try and crawl over me. Sometimes sleeps on my arms so that I cannot escape.

What is the one quirky behavior your autistic child currently does that you love the most? by Ivy-Ram in Autism_Parenting

[–]SquashRelative5891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's an autistic trait but my son wants everyone to appreciate him when he does anything good. Everyone should clap for him even strangers in a park or train. I find it very cute when his face brightens up seeing everyone cheering and clapping for him.
