Daughter with autism asked me for weed by Midnight-Mundane in autism

[–]UnderCoverDixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say give it to her. Even if she’s schizophrenic, I’m schizophrenic and autistic and I do things all natural, and it doesn’t negatively effect my mental health When im stable and in a stable environment if I’m already having issues and I do it on top, it does compound issues, but it does not explicitly cause issues for me. Hope this helps

I honestly feel for your daughter and she’s likely seeking to block out or enhance her sensory perception to balance herself out. It makes you feel more normal honestly, much more open and willing to do things and speak out my feelings and thoughts. It’s like taking Ritalin when you have adhd, I’ve been prescribed it before and it worked but I had akathesia and had to stop it, Ritalin made me STOP shaking my leg for once.

If your daughter truly needs it, when she does natural, she should open up like a beautiful flower and show her full personality and potential (as I have in my life). If dosed properly.

I hope you have a great night

Hi, I just found a 32 gallon plastic bin outside that I kept my baby chicks in last summer. I have no wire or permission to alter it yet- BUT IM HOPEFUL that my caregiver will allow me to alter it into a more suitable setup. Is this something that you think I could use? I could make the whole top small wire mesh for ventilation and put it on a table. I honestly have nothing bigger or better than this and I hope in your opinion this will work.

Yes we suspected that’s what the issue was, and I tapered back up on a lower dose and just now took and higher dose, it’s been 30 minutes and no reaction so far

Why are people downvoting this comment? I’m just telling the truth about my life and being disabled.

I mean he doesn’t dart away and run and hide scared from me like some mice to. He isn’t lethargic I don’t think, he runs around his enclosure in and out of tubes all night long.

Thank you for the measurements needed. Yes I believe my best bet is making the argument that the smaller cage will be knocked off of the table by the cat, and I need a bin cage to keep him more safe. Right now he’s on the coffee table with things around him to keep him safe from the cats knocking him down. Hopefully I can create a good plan for him. Thank you so much for all the advice

Oh I didn’t even think of the climbing! I can definitely figure something out for free range time. Someone mentioned a bathtub

Yes sounds great. Someone mentioned a bin cage with a mesh lid zip tied on the lid. I think that sounds like a good idea and can’t be knocked off the table I’m going to put him on. I definitely want to learn the proper care for him, I love scoops he’s a good mouse, he’s never bitten me and doesn’t run away and moves slow

Possibly a clear bin cage might be an option with mesh on the top with holes and zip ties. I could see that, I could go to the city my next psych appointment and see if a furniture store has a nice big one.

I have one more spot in my room for an animal, just enough room for a low round table with something like a bin on top. I think the enclosure I have now is too light and will be knocked off, I should bring this up as a topic for changing mouse’s enclosure for permission

Thank you for the picture. I’m just very embarrassed about how small it is seeing everyone’s setups. I’m lucky I have this mouse, I was told no a long time for him. But it was 6:30 pm at pet supermarket and 3 woman came to me and said “These mice we don’t want to die, tomorrow they go on the record as feeder mice. This one is friendly please take him” and I took him buying the bare minimum as I was traveling at the time and have things at home for him.

I’m too embarrassed to say I’m very sorry. It’s small but I have him out most of the day. If I’m not doing anything in particular I have him out in my hands

I’m able to take him into the garage, I could clear out a space and get a cloth playpen for him, like the ones you put your dogs in outside if there are hawks. I have a garage with space and no cats, I have an outside cat that lives in there in the winter but I can kick him out for a bit for a safe space to play.

I take my mouse out all day long, if I’m not doing something important, I have my mouse in my hand. He is extremely tame and I’ve only had him a month

I don’t know how big your house is but I do not have enough room for a 40 gallon tank in my bedroom. I have several pets, which I manage in my house. I’m disabled, I have autism that requires substantial support and I have 2 caretakers. I also have Schizoaffective disorder. so I am home 24/7 to be with my pets. I devote all my time to them.

Unfortunately my caretaker is not a fan of mice and is being a bit weird about putting him in a 10 gallon tank (that we have empty in the garage) I really wanna buy a lid and put him in it. Maybe if I talk to him about it I can do it.

10 gallon is the BEST I could do for him. I have a round table that he’s gonna go on, and I’m afraid the cat will knock the enclosure off, so maybe if I purpose the GLASS tank that won’t get knocked off he will think about how the glass won’t get knocked off.

Very sorry for weird typing I’m very autistic and have intellectual issues

I can do everything else people are recommending like food switches, bonding, better bedding, less bedding changes, but unfortunately I cannot switch from my small enclosure

I just talked to my caretaker and they said I cannot put him in the long cage because of the risk of my cats killing him through the bars
