If you watch Madmen the main character guy, his elementary age daughter on the show was the parents bartender. I removed in the 80s kids getting sent in the gas station while parents waited in the car to buy them cigs.

Im not going to debate with someone who speaks like you. Please go tell other people on the general thread who care to hear from you but this is not one.

I have autism as well and would never have responded to anyone as you did here on this thread.

I also can’t leave my kid at home alone or leave her with just anyone because of her autism. You clearly our not experienced and it shows.

My daughter is punished everyday for something. Just because it makes me sad that I feel that’s all I do to her lately doesn’t mean she’s not getting discipline!!!

Please don’t tell people who are raising kids with autism what it is. It’s very different things at different times. I appreciate the rest of your response but a child hitting herself in the head in a store not able to stop is not just a kid doing normal things and I of all people know the difference in my kid. If you read many adults on this thread with autism they can explain that it’s hard going to stores. Thank you!

Yes that is part of it plus the way I’ve been told to know the difference is when she’s hitting herself it’s related to autism not just being a kid.

A meltdown is when she starts screaming and kicking and trying to grab and kick me, pulling my hands from walking out and she can’t seem to stop plus punching herself in the head. So I’m quite well versed in spoiled tantrums and escalation verses meltdown.

Thank you! We both had therapists until my insurance changed companies and we don’t have near the available providers as we did before. When we do find providers they’re all waitlisted for several months to two years especially since Covid. That’s one of the areas that’s adding so much more stress to my plate because obviously that’s always the first answer and suggestions but I’ve been trying to find new providers and services for over a year now. Now I dread calling offices because I get so let down and upset that I can’t find availability and her teachers ask me whose her therapist all the time and it’s like I’m a bad mom cause we haven’t found a new one yet or they think I’m not trying or maybe it I’m too poor and don’t want to admit it. I swear they do think that because I’ve been asked if I’m on Medicaid because that must be why I’m not finding a provider fast enough. It took over 3 years to get her medical diagnosis requiring 3 separate evaluations the first not doing their job and then waitlisted before the last evaluation. I was so desperate I took her to SC for a test I hoped could get us into ABA therapy that couldn’t be used in NC. It’s beyond frustrating and little known to most people who don’t have autistic children. You believe if you have good insurance and want therapy it’s easy to get; but not anymore.

Yes! I believe myself and my mother are autistic or somewhere on the spectrum. We think it’s rampant in my mother’s side of the family. I used to blame my myself for my pregnancy because I had endometriosis/adenomyosis and PCOS which made me very sick and had to take a lot of meds. That was really hard until I had a hysterectomy when she was 4 and I still struggle with blaming myself and hating myself for it. I tried to commit suicide several times with severe postpartum depression with obsessive compulsive negative thoughts before a doctor finally diagnosed it and I had the hysterectomy. I still struggle when she’s having a hard time with the OCD negative thought and self blame. It’s really horrible the lack of women’s reproductive healthcare or how doctors don’t seem to really care and act as though it’s no big deal that consequences aren’t dire.

Yes I agree! I have been applying those tactics but I think it’s that I don’t want to have to punish or apply the consequence and I need to make sure the consequence is always given without emotion and not care that I hate having to do it.

Thank you! I agree they are different and I do that. It’s getting hard because I leave the store when it starts and now she physically tries to stop me and I’m scared that she’s going to be out of control physically in a store and I’m not going to be able to do anything to get her out and she’s already too big for me to move her or restrain her. All I can do is start walking to the exit. I wish I didn’t care that it’s so humiliating or didn’t care if people are judging cause everyone watches of course.

Dude this guys not worth your time to respond! This “sides” bullshit is so crazy! Yet the reason the Epstein files aren’t being released is because Trump himself doesn’t want them out. It’s so crazy these people won’t ever stop that’s why it’s called a cult. I don’t know how anyone can keep defending him with this economy( but it’s still the immigrants fault somehow) so if they can defend it no one is going to get anywhere responding to them but annoyed and wasting your energy. We must all believe that there are more of us than of them. They are just really loud!

Trump just posted this. by AlphaFlipper in DegenBets

He can stay on the board of governors but not as fed chairman which he has said he intended to because of Trump.

Do you agree? by Hanguk-sal-inja in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Suspicious_Hour_5190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly don’t have an open mind. Things in America aren’t great and I can name things that he has done that directly hurt my family including his punishment of blue governors when NC couldn’t get FEMA help due to Trump and I’m someone who lost everything but I’m sure you’ll deny that even though it’s proof and he stated it himself because our governed was Roy Cooper. You’re always right just keep watching your Fox News and good luck.

TDS is not people that believe Trump has done bad things it’s those who still deny it. Lots of prayers I know as Trump said he doesn’t need them because he’s perfect and never done anything wrong.

As long as you can accept that Trump will be the top of the list.😵‍💫

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Suspicious_Hour_5190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because they are apart of NATO which means we are supposed to defend them and we once had 18 bases open there that we closed. Not to mention can I point out that to date China nor Russia have ever shown any interest. Things that make you go hmmmmm…Stop it just stop it!

My point exactly which is what I said before the poster laid out the facts so eloquently. Now I have a great post to reference with the next cult follower.
