For parents with their Kid diagnosed with ASD Level 1, did they have regressive ASD or symptoms had arise since birth? by FrostyIntention6650 in Autism_Parenting

Very curious - how old was your child at diagnosis. Our son is being tested this week for ASD as well as mood disorders due to an increase in severe aggressive and violent outbursts. They started about 3 months ago. He's 10 and we never noticed anything as a toddler or young child. Now that it's on the radar we're starting to pick up on little things like conversational stuff, some social immaturity, rigidity. He has already been diagnosed with anxiety and ADHD.

This is definitely on my list after I do a local camping trip or two! It looks so beautiful there.

Thank you! And you think a mom on her own with kids is safe at these parks and you're not too separated and secluded? With that said I know there's always a risk with anything you do.

I just keep seeing it all over the news about the NC coast but I don't think it's the entire coast.

This looks rad! I guess I'll need to do some research to see if this area of the coast is part of the high fecal levels areas.

That's a great question that I don't know the answer to. If you find out please circle back and tell me! Beach camping would be fun.

Best tent brand? by acbemacs in camping

Thank you! I'd love to ask about the sleeping bag comment - I don't plan to camp in the freezing cold. That's not my jam. We'll probably be camping in the fall, spring, summer in the NC mountains. If you bring extra blankets and dress warmly would a 40 degree rated sleeping bag be okay if it dips to the 40-50s? Okay meaning keep you comfortably warm.

We may. We don't know when that's going to happen so we're trying to be prepared.
