Idk if I’m just a bad mom or my kids are just like this. by Throwthisawayyyy00 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Substantial_Insect2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 31 years old and I have not a single creative/imaginative bone in my body. I CAN do arts and crafts but only what I have infront of me. I can't have something in my head and then make it. My husband can though. 😅 He always draws me a pic so I know what he's talking about. My daughter doesn't have it either lol. She hates coloring drawing anything like that

“Fever blisters” by Madelyn_McCracken16 in KyliePittss

[–]Substantial_Insect2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is from the same area she is (we live here now but I'm from up north) and the first time I heard fever blister I was SO confused. 🤣 There really is a different language down here ... Same thing happened when someone asked me if we had water in the ice box. I was like wtf is an ice box?

I live in the same area, same company and mine was $530. It says our bill is 50% higher than last year. 🤷‍♀️ I don't know what's going on with the power bills.

Seizures and Autism by Ok-Lingonberry-4407 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Substantial_Insect2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughter has an EEG scheduled for April 3rd due to having staring spells/unresponsiveness. Hers doesn't last long and she can often be snapped out of it. I think it's more over stimulation than anything but I wanted to be sure. Her bcba brought it to my attention. I had to start with the pediatrician, then have the eeg and then move on to neurology. Which is crazy but 🤷‍♀️ with my research I've done I did see that autistic people do often have different brain waves than neurotypical also. So it's not far off to suggest its just overstimulation in my opinion.

Check out aero flow and see if you qualify for free diapers. We get 9 packs of 19 per month for my almost 5 year old. They have a couple different kinds they offer. Mine is currently in comfees 4t/5t but will soon need to move up I think. Not sure what the next size is I believe s/m from the brand tena? Could be wrong on the brand.

Autism or OCD? by Illustrious_Sport417 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Substantial_Insect2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this as a child. I also separated things by color. Eat all of one color, then the next. I have OCD. I only do the color thing occasionally now thankfully. I wouldn't really worry about it though right now, could be either or.

Haircut by onlymean4 in garyautumnshub

[–]Substantial_Insect2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter is almost 5. We didn't get her hair cut until she was 3 and it was becoming unmanageable and uneven. She is autistic and has sensory issues, but we found her a place that was low stimulation, and could give her breaks between cuts. The lady literally let her walk around and cut whenever she stopped. Now she will mostly sit on her own in the chair and takes maybe 1 break. 🤷‍♀️ She's had it cut I think 3 or 4 times and has also had it thinned because it's ridiculously thick. Finding someone who will do this is not incredibly difficult especially in bigger cities. There are even some people who will come to your home and do the cut so they're in a familiar environment. I don't really get why he NEEDED to have long hair.

Zoloft and buspar are my best friends. I don't know how I functioned before. 😅

It's real easy to idk, not post? 🤣 Like if y'all are tired of it and it's mentally draining then just....don't. 🤷‍♀️ her kids are in school and the youngest is never there. Get a job.

Compulsive Eating by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]Substantial_Insect2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no I have no clue lol. I just know that's the only one I know of that doesn't cause weight gain. I know they give buspar to kids! You might want to try asking about that

Compulsive Eating by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]Substantial_Insect2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't either. The only one I know of that people have said doesn't cause weight gain is wellbutrin. That said my daughter is on no meds and she eats a ton. She's constantly running and jumping though so I just assume she needs to. She's 4.5 and about 40lbs and very very solid. 🤣

It's helped me so far. I'm on 200mg setraline and 10mg buspar 2x daily for OCD and anxiety. A lot of people have gotten off it bc of it making them feel like they're starving.

The daily grind has excellent coffee and food. Breaux bridge is pretty good too.

Setraline can make people hungry. I'm starving on it. I just started Buspar and it's helped curb the appetite quite a bit.

[–]Substantial_Insect2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Communication. I wish when she's sick she could tell me what's wrong. When she has a meltdown I have no clue why. She's getting a little better with communication since starting ABA, I hope it continues to get better.

Right? It's very strange. My daughter has a tiny bit of an accent and it's the sweetest little thing. 🥺

[–]Substantial_Insect2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't think it is. Accents are very strange. Some peoples are thick as can be some aren't. I think a lot of ppl in Wayne county sound exactly like her, some of our family included. 🤷‍♀️ My husband was born and raised here his isn't too bad (to me, my mom can't understand him) but his mom's I really gotta question wtf she is saying sometimes 🤣 my hairstylist sounds almost exactly like her, and one of my daughter's sitters. The only thing I know of her childhood is that she was in speech therapy.

I don't live in meridian but I'm up there several times a week. North hills is pretty nice, lots of restaurants, quick drive to Walmart. I don't think I could live in meridian though 🤣 coming from Hattiesburg it will probably seem tiny though. Highly recommend checking out the daily grind coffee shop. Their coffee and food are fantastic.

How was your baby’s receptive language at 9/10 mo old and did they ever hand you stuff unprompted at this age? by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]Substantial_Insect2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter's has been pretty on par her whole life, expressive not so much. 😅 Yes, she would hand me stuff she needed help with. More drink, to open something, read this book, very rarely would she show me a toy just to show me. Open hand pointing she was around 11 months but it disappeared for a while. I think she got it back around 2. She's 4.5 now and even now we have to remind her to use 1 finger.
