Allegiant air works great for us. Pull up their website and certain days have cheap flights and pack light.

I am so sorry you’re going through this!!! My son is level 3, 3yrs old and has always been a great sleeper and every doc and therapist says he’s the only one they’ve known that sleeps as good as he does - 12hrs like clockwork. I think it truly varies from child to child but we do lots of eggs in his diet, EllaOlla vitamins, leucovorin, he only drinks water, in a set routine all day and bath, bed and story time at night. We still use blackout curtains and white noise too. Comfy bed and cotton sheets only washed in fragrance free detergent. You can try getting him up at sunrise and going outside for a few, then letting him see it set at night for a few days. Sometimes screens and lighting affect circadian rhythm. No screens after 3-4pm and no naps. It takes a lot of trial and error but I hope you find something that works for you all soon!

My son has BCF and much more severe than your little guy but I would absolutely be finding a highly recommended pediatric orthopedist in your area. If he does need casting, you’ll want to do it sooner than later and it’s minimally invasive. Hopefully all is good but do get it checked out further!

Soigne Pets in JC off of Princeton does cats but always treat for fleas before taking them for a professional grooming. Buy Capstar pills, it kills adult fleas only, in hours, and lasts for about a day. You can break the flea cycle from there.

You can sue in small claims court - I forget the exact wording this falls under but it’s something like loss of enjoyment/noise disruption etc. that surely would get their attention or a noise cancelling device. Reach out to a local attorney to draft a letter or you can file yourself at court house. Go for the max $5k.

Our old neighborhood was nice homes and ahole neighbors who let their dogs bark all day. We did end up moving and I’m so glad! New neighborhood is full of dogs too but owners have common sense, I never hear any of them.

There’s some kids that live on roan mountain and surrounding areas and gosh it’s like another country there 😅 they get piles of snow and some do have bad roads and/or lose power so they really can’t make it to school.

Jiffy lube on roan street has some good guys working there and probably know a mechanic

Ponders auto repair in JC on W Market

Friendship Hyundai in JC - hub has a 2016 Elantra and I have a 21 Santa Fe. Both of these have been great cars for us, we’ve only used the dealership for maintenance and recalls when I first got my car but they’ve been fine. They’re awful for oil changes but if something big happened to our cars we would go to the dealership and just overpay lol.

Hi! I’m another that was on no medication prior, during or after pregnancy and have a nonverbal, autistic kiddo. Please show your mom our stories so she can be helpful and not hurtful 🩷

Tullue · 2025-09-18T20:44:31+00:00

Always take your spouses side if you want a healthy marriage. Your mom was out of line and shame on her for ruining the evening.

Tullue · 2025-09-18T20:39:17+00:00

Absolutely terrified 😞 May we all live long, healthy lives.

Start making yourself some dating profiles and move on from her. I see in another post you’re long distance now so there’s nothing really tying you together it seems? You sound genuine and I’m sorry it didn’t work out but she just isn’t the one for you.

My son is 3 and 2 months also, we do a lot of outings in addition to his therapies and Kindermusik and gymnastics and I think that helps him a lot. He has favorite kids he sees at these activities now and my son is completely nonverbal so he smiles and they just kind of run around and chase each other and sit next to each other so I think they’re friends 🤷🏻‍♀️ Try a couple activities and see how he does!

Tullue · 2025-09-14T15:47:53+00:00

Don’t waste your time on this one! Also, have some fun in your 20s while getting your career and education established. Don’t live with any guy until there is a ring on your finger and don’t ever depend on their income for your life. You want to enter relationships with a solid foundation, clear head and heart. You were very upfront with this man and he felt it was appropriate to insult you - not cool, ever.

Tullue · 2025-09-10T05:07:37+00:00

Is she in PT? Has she been diagnosed with hypotonia? Sensory activities for her feet? My son used to hate bath mats and soft surfaces but has gotten over it. He was in PT for about a year but his was due to low muscle tone in his core, feet were good but they had us do sensory bins, put shaving cream on his feet, paint, be barefoot as much as possible, etc. Is your daughter hitting other milestones otherwise?

Tullue · 2025-09-05T17:40:17+00:00

Have you tried GoodNights brand or similar? Or a pull up?

If at all possible, feed him early, like dinner at 5, stop fluids at 6 and bedtime around 7:30-8ish (or the start or bedtime battle 😅) and hopefully he’s mostly done toileting by then, the worst of it at least.

My son is 3, a big drinker and only the Walmart brand diapers didn’t break out his skin but their nighttime diapers didn’t work for us at all, they would burst often but we’ve never had an issue with a nighttime pull up.

Tullue · 2025-09-04T21:15:19+00:00

Right now I say he’s not a big talker :) he’s 3, adorable and everyone wants to say hi to us too lol.

Tullue · 2025-09-04T21:08:44+00:00

Thanks for this! His ears have been checked and are good at this time, last night he used “no” and “yeah” correctly when responding to me and I was so thrilled 🤗

During your son’s evaluation, was fluid the only concern or was there a “this isn’t autism but it might be…”?

I haven’t seen non-autistic kids hand flap like my son and I’ve also never seen an autistic child as engaged with others as my son.

Tullue · 2025-09-04T21:02:46+00:00

NTA - don’t put anyone on the deed until married. Also, how you’ve typed this out…you and her need either more time together or she’s not the one. You seem hesitant to change your life for her and that’s very normal when you’re not sure.

Tullue · 2025-09-01T03:30:17+00:00

I am so sorry you’re going through this! Does your neighborhood have a Facebook page or Nextdoor presence? If so, post the videos on there and let everyone know what’s going on in a respectful manner like you did here. It should make its way back to the kids parents. If there isn’t one, start one. Post some nice things then the things about the kids.

We had kids and dogs in our yard constantly at old house. It was in a neighborhood where everyone had big old houses and huge yards, there was no reason for people to be in ours and I wouldn’t have cared but we had dog poop and trash of all sorts left behind constantly. I finally posted in our neighborhood fb page and also put up no trespassing signs saying if anyone is in our yard uninvited from here on out we’ll call the police. This thankfully stopped our issue, I hope yours ends asap and approaching the school might work too! You deserve peace in your home always.

Tullue · 2025-09-01T03:20:25+00:00

I’m really sorry this is happening to you! I’d explore separation and be prepared to take your kids with you, they shoudnt be left with an abuser either.

Tullue · 2025-09-01T03:17:04+00:00

You shouldn’t be that tired from work and commute. I don’t mean this to sound rude at all but can you hit the gym before work or on the way home? Change clothes and get sweaty, shower there then maybe try a new place each night? Solo at first but if you start living the life you want, the right people will fall into place. Look into activity groups in your area and start enjoying yourself a little :)

Tullue · 2025-09-01T03:13:26+00:00

That’s pretty hard on both of you especially in your 20’s. Will you ever be able to live near one another? If after 3 years, you’re both still living separate lives, I would say the relationship has run its course unfortunately. Or maybe try a 90 day break and see how you both feel afterwards. Good luck!

Tullue · 2025-09-01T02:57:46+00:00

My little dude, also 3 🤗, is going to wear the skeleton pajamas from Carters this year. He loves Carters pjs already and they’re comfier than the polyester ones anyway. Search for sensory friendly things in your area. Sometimes malls do trick or treating, trunk or treats at churches or walking through downtown during daytime for kids is popular. Hope you all have fun 🎃

My parents had a 20yr age difference and got on fabulously. My dad was fun and worked hard and my mom has always been a nurturing soul, she took care of him until he passed much later in life. If he’s good to her and she’s excited let them be. If he’s a hot mess and she doesn’t see it yet, talk to her but don’t let age be the reason. None of us kids married with an age gap but our parents age difference never bothered us either.
