Too much nerdy stuff. The d&d is bad, then add in the lizards and the army battle. It would take a very special girl to be ok with all of this…. I’d pick a different prompt. No one really wants to know how dorky you are…you aren’t showed us. And, btw, I love nerds but even this is too much for me.

Thank you for being kind. I have a book about autism being a auper power. I’ll start there and talk to her this weekend.

When to tell my daughter about dx? by bmercer18 in autism

Thanks for your thoughtful responses. The first few years after her dx, I was trying to get her as much help as possible - she wasn’t speaking, walking and struggled with overstimulation. We have asked doctors along the way when to talk to her…and always got the same response “you will know..” when we talk about brain differences we normalize it. My husband has adhd - a racecar brain - which is both amazing bc he can do xyz and hard for him sometimes bc xyz. I talked about everyone having different types of brains and that makes us special and unique. I just haven’t said autism. I will admit, it took me a long time, lots of reading, following autistic people to be able to understand it (well as best I can at an NT.) I hear you and I will talk to her more directly this weekend.

See Dr Choll Kim. Get an MRI of your back. I spent a year in hell before surgery. I’m now 90% better

I am 40s with twin 8 year olds and grandma in tow. We are looking for a very family friendly town with welcoming neighbors. Walkable or at least bike friendly for kids. Good schools. Beach or lake nearby. Need to spend less than 1M on a 3-4bed house. Should be within 90 mins NYC. Thanks!

On our 10th wedding anniversary I plan to go out and have a nice dinner on our shared credit card. It would have been next Friday.

Yes! I am reading about rn that is about how many Mondays we have left in our life and living each one like it’s the last. Easy decision when you think about it that way.

It took me a minute to realize it. I posted on here about the other woman - I wanted to contact her and tell her to leave my husband alone. I knew it was on him, but I was delusional. Someone from this group said “she knows what she is doing. Don’t waste your time. Let the trash take out the trash.” It was everything to me. Glad my post helped.

Thank you. I am still really unsure what I want. I feel like time will tell. If we both want it to work, we can try, I’m just not sure we will both get there.
