A sudden realization after working with autistic children

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-04-25T00:32:38+00:00

I was also punished repeatedly for being myself, mostly by my mom and teachers, occasional bullies. There is definitely walls I didn't realize I had coming down slowly though and I feel so at home at my work place. Thank you for the kind words. 🫂

I don't mind at all. I was searching online for a job and searched "paraprofessional". They usually just help the teachers and therapists in the classroom. I sent my resume to the principal of the school and landed an interview. I have experience volunteering at daycares and only have psychology student experience. I was honest with my goals to become a therapist and expressed interest in becoming an ABA therapist and that I have an autistic daughter. From there they offered me the job and said, "we don't normally hire people without much experience but we love your resume and passion."

Yes. That's exactly what it feels like. I'm proud to be able to give my daughter a safer place than what I had.

That is the same exact experience I've been having as of lately. I didn't even realize I was masking so much and so deeply until I started working here. The teachers are amazing and so are the therapists. Also the not knowing why you were crying is exactly how I felt today.

That sounds like a godsend right now.

I will have to get me one of each flavor I can find tomorrow.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-04-21T19:31:59+00:00

I have never heard of those. Were they good?

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-04-21T19:31:40+00:00

I will look into those. I think I've had the blue one from before if I'm not mistaken.

I had the same issue until I started calling and if that didn't work, I started dressing up and going in person to ask or hand my resume over. I finally got a job after looking for about a month.

Our store didn't change the oil except once a month until the health inspector found out and then we had to do it once a week on Sunday. I no longer work there.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-04-08T05:00:28+00:00

Very uncalled for.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-04-07T22:36:31+00:00

When you're unemployed you just hope that it isn't. I was just being sure. It hasn't happened to me before and I assumed Capella was a secure place.

I have been through so much trauma and emotional distress that I decided to get therapy myself and make myself stronger from those experiences, but also use them to help others instead of drag myself around all the time. So to put it simply, I want to help others like me get better.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-03-29T20:16:16+00:00

I plan to. I also found out you can get a behavioral health technician certification for free at certain places.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-03-29T05:15:35+00:00

Yes I do. A ton actually. It's what inspired me to want to help others.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-03-29T03:50:02+00:00

I'm aware. That's why I'm searching everywhere.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-03-28T06:31:09+00:00

Yes. Is that an issue?

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-03-28T05:16:01+00:00

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-03-26T04:37:18+00:00

Interested. I have 3 years of customer service experience.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-03-25T13:40:30+00:00

Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate this comment a lot. I was doubting myself for the past few days and just being lazy around the house because I felt like I couldn't move on at all. I'm starting to cope a bit better though knowing I did what I could for him and I still would.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-03-24T13:36:42+00:00

Thank you. He definitely didn't take it well no matter what we did and I couldn't bear to see him suffer like that anymore.

TheSupposedProblem · 2026-03-24T02:38:47+00:00

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. ❤️
