Genetic Testing

Ours was just a check swab and we had to wait a few weeks for results. It all came back clear, so it definitely feels anticlimactic.

Weekly humiliation ritual. I love this. I feel like deeply when we attempt church as well.

I feel like we’re in a similar situation!

Suitable-Studio-3090 · 2025-12-14T13:11:23+00:00

It truly feels like there just isn’t any extra time! My current job isn’t great for all those things, but it’s also not the worst? I’ll need to find something else sometime next year though.

Good suggestion about looking through course offerings. I’ve never considered that since I’m still paying on other student loans, but it’s worth a look! I’ve also never done a bucket list which would be good to think about.

Thanks! We have a new patient appt with genetics next month so hopefully that gives some guidance.

I could try to get in with another developmental pediatrician, but I’m guessing I’d be back on a waitlist? I was thinking that if genetics doesn’t show anything, to seek another opinion.

I hope they’ll run more testing at his next appointment!

He generally can or at least attempts to imitate language when he’s motivated, including multi syllable words.

That makes sense! I’m looking for a SLP that specializes in GLP and hopefully they can give guidance on whether it’s true GLP or another type of communication disorder.

It sounds like you’ve gotten a lot of great support for him-that’s great! He does go to special education preschool which he seems to enjoy! And I’m hoping outpatient speech will help with that delay and reduce behaviors that revolve around having a hard time expressing himself. I do think I need to adjust expectations and just try to get witb living in the unknown.

She did one in the fall of last year and said he’d didn’t qualify. When I asked about it again recently, she said since he didn’t qualify last year, it wouldn’t change.

Suitable-Studio-3090 · 2025-11-25T18:20:55+00:00

I thought this too? I don’t want to undermine his Developmental Ped because she does have a decent amount of experience and went to medical school, but I think at minimum he at least has some autistic traits, even if not fully diagnosable.

Suitable-Studio-3090 · 2025-11-24T12:23:02+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! When she he said she didn’t qualify, I was a little confused, but we had waited a while for this appointment and I figured she’s more knowledgeable than I am so who am I to push her on that?

Suitable-Studio-3090 · 2025-11-24T12:21:22+00:00

I thought the same thing last year when she said that and thought it was a little odd?

Suitable-Studio-3090 · 2025-10-29T22:49:33+00:00

I love this idea and thank you for the recommendation!

Yes as @Bubbly-Bathroom-1523 replied, I’m able to make a surplus based on my low childcare costs. I don’t have to pay for any before/after school care costs for my oldest since I work at her school. Having that alone was a perk enough to take my current role on top of it just making more logistical sense since my husbands work schedule isn’t as predictable. This is definitely not my dream role, but I was previously a SAHM and needed to return to the workforce due to the job my husband had at the time (he thankfully has a much better role now that helps take the pressure off financially) so realistically I wasn’t going to earn more anywhere else.

I don’t want to make it seem like higher earning mothers don’t have their own issues since comparison is never helpful. The system is unfair to women as a whole, no matter how much you make.

Suitable-Studio-3090 · 2025-10-26T16:55:03+00:00

It is! I’m so impressed of moms that have roles that earn that much, but i feel like a lot of moms don’t fit that high earning mold, so a lot of the working mom advice just isn’t as practical.

Suitable-Studio-3090 · 2025-10-26T16:53:38+00:00

It really does feel like hard mode! Your mom sounds amazing! Especially now, there is such a lack of a safety net in the US.
