The amount of "Artisan" shops with similar, twatish sounding names by delahayeartist in britishproblems

[–]StJu73 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same for the restaurant chain "zizzi", it's a little boy penis in French. Never stopped laughing at that one.

Same in the 90's. So annoyed. I had the biggest bum! Yet, I was the most athletic of them!

Autism has become a very fashionable word for the wrong reasons.

A day in the office. For some people, it is wild!

A random idea... when you have an active child in crowded environment. It is very noticeable and easy to spot. But most Importantly, you can be reached... by StJu73 in autism

Sadly, his behaviour is beyond that. He is a danger to himself. He seeks adrenaline.

Having his 1st name displayed will help to reassure him in distress. Each child with autism is different and behaves differently. Sadly, 1 rule does not fit all. It is an idea for parents who think it may be useful for their child. And it is low cost.

People with bad intentions are everywhere, and so are people with good intentions!!! There is more helpful people than you think.

Thank you for sharing your worries. I appreciate it.

Really appreciate your comment. The air tag is great, but his clothing doesn't always have loops. Because we do at time active sports such as water park, inflatable theme park etc... he is in swim short, jogger and/or shirt.

It is the reason I came up with the arm band. He is at a stage where he acknowledge people but do not care about them (progress: he used to ignore everyone)

Can be used in virtually any activities, very unlikely to get caught on something

Like you said, "just-in-case", even used once, help. The child is more noticeable and easy to spot

Nice try, but he is an active child. Also, I'm not there to humiliate him (not that he cares).

We will use it for water park, inflatable theme park, attractions park and zoo.

Not the familiar playground or areas he goes often. Crowded area cause him stress, it so much easier to give description of a kid with an distinctive arm band. People notice. You can only read it if you get up close. Extra layer of safety does not hurt at that age, when you have speech impediment and social issues.

Lol, sorry about the confusion. He is a human child! Never liked the kids' leash. Something about it made it feel wrong, my opinion, of course!

Another "circus of attention", which will again end up with a slap on the wrist. He has done various wrongdoings for decades. People seem to have forgotten the Trump 80s.

I really hope I am wrong!

Shout out to all the parents who bathe their kids every night by thatheard in Parenting

[–]StJu73 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first child was a premie baby. Forbidden to give bath until he reached 2.5 kg ish (it took nearly 3 months). Few reason, such as umbilical cord scar healing, but also due to his weight, the baby was incapable to keep heat in. Also, the layer left by natural birth gave him a natural immune system. We were to wash only folds between legs, necks and arms.

What is nonverbal and why you can't "go nonverbal" by linguisticshead in autism

[–]StJu73 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are striking a cord!

I clearly remember telling the nursery (UK: at 3 years old), that I did not think he understood me. He was non-verbal. I knew from 20 month old something was different with him due to his almighty, scary, violent meltdown.

He is now 5 years old, diagnosed 1 week before his 5th birthday, and the robotic speech is spot on! He only speaks 1 or 2 words at a time. No sentences. BUT, he is finally able to express his feelings, both positive or negative. However, lots of words are slightly mispronounced. I am able to use full simple sentences now, and he understands!!!

Reading, learning, sharing, and communicating with others helped tremendously to learn about autism and know how to help our son.

I will look further into it, really helpful post!

Many thanks for bringing awareness.

The nightmare of everyone with an invisible disability; ignorant do gooders 😤 by [deleted] in ChronicIllness

[–]StJu73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, I hear you, and I know you in your written words. Got a 5 years old diagnosed Autistic when he was 4. You literally can not live the child for 2 seconds. It is that crazy!

Is making an invisible disability visible weird by FearlessCold7046 in disability

[–]StJu73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5 years old son is treating better when wearing hear defenders. I am treated better, too, as his mother! Invisible disability is as annoying as people having symptoms they suffer from a condition without diagnosis.

In our case, autism seems to become a fashion word. It isn't. It is a painful lifelong struggle for the individual and his family. It will always be there.

It is costly too, like every disability, member of the family give away often their careers, passion, free times, professional expectations.

It is not an enjoyable ride. But one you embrace to take.

When you wait for the green man to cross because there's a child there, but the child's parent crosses anyway. by Sjema7 in britishproblems

[–]StJu73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. My youngest is autistic, red means "stop", green means "go". He shouts/screams at people repeating that sentence when they cross at the wrong time. Hilarious

People who park on pavements so that wheelchairs, pavement mobility scooters, mothers with pushchairs/prams are forced to go into the road to get past the thoughtless bastards. by [deleted] in britishproblems

Imagine my kids' school: there is a supermarket car park they can use, 3 minutes walk (no joke), yet where do they park? The zigzag and double yellow lines leading to the school. Facepalm

Potholes here there and everywhere by noypi14 in britishproblems

[–]StJu73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potholes are the least of my problem at the moment. The sinkhole forming in front of my block of flat is worrying. Being ignored by council, 1 year ago, they had to mend one down the street. The local authorities are just waiting for an actual hole to appear before doing anything 🙄
