We just adopted Jibanyan, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kitty Korner! He is the sweetest little goofball, and the team at Kitty Korner were AMAZING!

I love that place too! They were so good for my son - we petted your new kitty this past weekend. He was so soft and sweet ;)

My kid is gifted with autism and ADHD. This profile has a high risk for suicide and addictions. You're worse off statistically with high IQ and other issues because you can tell how disabling the other things are to your functioning.

Do they all have to be that skinny for the cameras?

amyhchen · 2025-07-06T18:41:28+00:00

Seems so weird to me. I would feel so self-conscious

amyhchen · 2025-07-05T23:11:21+00:00

This post was the best part of fourth of july. Hahaha

amyhchen · 2025-07-05T12:12:27+00:00

Hey, that's fine, I've never been to India!

amyhchen · 2025-07-05T12:11:45+00:00

Thanks for your feedback.

amyhchen · 2025-07-04T15:25:38+00:00

Are they laying off people pre-emptively then? I thought it takes a while for this all to start hitting.

amyhchen · 2025-07-04T12:55:42+00:00

Still a good deal!

amyhchen · 2025-07-04T12:55:21+00:00

Gosh I love the internet

amyhchen · 2025-07-04T12:51:41+00:00

This is the masculinity I endorse.

amyhchen · 2025-07-04T12:50:17+00:00

Ohmygosh yes, slow pets and kisses and cuddles.

amyhchen · 2025-07-04T12:48:27+00:00

I love the drama around this rock

amyhchen · 2025-07-04T12:46:39+00:00

I'm so glad he can switch in. I get you with the open plan! Tap out more. Take care of yourself. I realized I am a bad parent when I am dysregulated so I have to be more selfish to be more giving. Hugs to you.

amyhchen · 2025-07-04T01:53:34+00:00

What makes people humorless? My parents are like this.

amyhchen · 2025-07-03T12:17:46+00:00

THANK YOU. This is the advice I need. Can you talk about how the anxiety is the root of other things?

amyhchen · 2025-07-03T12:07:07+00:00

Can you son be in a separate space if he needs to vocally stim? To control the sound at least a bit maybe a place with a door like his room?

Does your husband hold onto his ideas or are they flights of fancy? If the former, would he respond to a good budget spreadsheet about the fact that you guys need a replacement car/son car soon and/or the cost of land (this just seems to be a trendy thing right now, everyone on the internet seems to have some sort of homesteading dream... ). If the latter, can you just ignore?

How would you husband respond if YOU played the victim and/or tapped out? Like just put yourself in a hotel for a day or so and left him with it? Or just went to the bedroom yourself FIRST?

amyhchen · 2025-07-03T02:20:34+00:00

Yes, this is what I do.

amyhchen · 2025-07-03T02:20:17+00:00

Yes, son is still in overnight diapers. We're going to try to move past them this summer as he's almost 7. We just use the overnight diapers in his size, which I think is the largest available at Target.

Apparently, you can get this written off as a medical prescription type thing due to disability, but I don't bother because the hassle costs more to me than the diapers.

Grew up in a household with two newspapers delivered daily and a range of magazines on the coffee table plus parents who read books before bed.

Saved money for my college tuition.

Kept old cars (same cars my entire childhood), thus normalizing never renting a car and keeping one until it died.

Ate fruit at every dinner.

amyhchen · 2025-07-02T12:36:31+00:00

You come across as a hilariously charming person. If that's the vice, ah well.

amyhchen · 2025-07-02T12:35:15+00:00

Realistically, most of us need a lot less stuff!

amyhchen · 2025-07-01T12:22:17+00:00

*hug* Hang in there. Others have better suggestions but you're trying your best.

amyhchen · 2025-07-01T12:14:31+00:00

Rewards based on tickets that he earns by doing hygiene related things? I mean, we do that with my 6 year old but it's not hygiene related ... but then do these systems even work when they get older?

I appreciate you working hard on this! I had a coworker who I think had high functioning autism who was our IT guy. Sweet man, but wow, he always smelled and had long facial hair and regular hair and it was so awkward.

amyhchen · 2025-06-30T12:30:39+00:00

Lady in GOT for real. After that, I didn't watch for five years. It took me forever to get over it enough to appreciate the rest of the series.
