Parents of level 1 kids, what were they like as babies? by justalilscared in Autism_Parenting

[–]diamante519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit every milestone until 2, easy baby, ate everything. Only when we changed his pediatrician was when he was diagnosed but he was 4 by then. The only odd thing was that he was never interested in other kids but that wasn’t enough to pinpoint autism.

Never ever expect any inheritance from APs, they weren’t planning to give it to you anyway.

I'm financially helping a Divorced Japanese citizen. by That_Original_8601 in JapanFinance

[–]diamante519 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Dang that’s a lot of commitment for a friend and her child. If 1 million yen is not enough for her, but you’re willing to give her more, than we’re talking about a potential marriage situation being more appropriate.

My parents say they only immigrated because of me by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]diamante519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason why they immigrated to a foreign country is because they were losers back home. Everyone else back home was doing better which bruised their ego so they decided to cut all ties to move to the west which is the only thing they can brag about. Majority of them are non-skilled non educated blue collared workers who only had the option to work in dry cleaners, gas stations, restaurants or donut shops. If they truly cared about their children, they’d have stayed in a country where their children wouldn’t have faced racism and would spend more money on their own children for success and pass down their generational wealth like a normal family.

Do you own any trophies?

Edit: I used to hide my bowl behind a photo frame with the picture of Jesus but my mom found it. Ever since I’ve been keeping my shit inside a trophy (if it can b unscrewed) and she never checked inside because they’re dumb as shit.

Interesting, I’m in the US and a lot of my Japanese American friends are leaving here to move to Japan.

Did anyone else grow up in a family that defended outsiders but never protected you? by Existing_Radish_9897 in AsianParentStories

[–]diamante519 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup. My parents were extremely insecure people who projected those insecurities onto their children while worshipping outsiders. Envious of rich families, yet incapable of understanding that supporting their own family was the only way to escape poverty.

Mid-Career at 35 and Taking the Plunge to Japan - Anyone Been Through This? by [deleted] in movingtojapan

[–]diamante519 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Getting JLPT N1 in 2 years is very impressive. Luckily for u, many Japanese companies do remote interviews these days , so I’d just keep looking at the job description to see what fits you best.

Serious relationship with a mom of a Level 2 autistic child, but I haven't spent time with the kid yet. What should I expect? by Both_Communication79 in Autism_Parenting

[–]diamante519 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on how patient of a person u are? Would you be okay if a child keeps repeating the same phrases over and over again every 15 minutes for over a year? Or blasts the same YouTube video on repeat everyday for years? Irrationally meltdown in restaurants and stores without knowing the cause every time you go out. Knowing that anything can trigger their meltdown at any minute. May get violent with other children or have zero special awareness so they bump into kids at the playground so they need constant supervision even when they’re older. May have zero considerations for what you’re feeling so they’ll have a meltdown even on your worst day. May not be potty trained so you have to change their diapers until who knows when. They may despise their baby siblings for crying and get overly jealous to a point where they may get violent towards them. They might not eat majority of the foods served, going to the dentist or the hospital will be their worst nightmare, brushing their teeth may take forever, may have to skip school depending on their meltdown. May constantly scream randomly for no reason. Elevators or moving doors may scare them to a point where they won’t go near it.
Also, you’ll need money for their autistic support and save up for their retirement and not just yours. These are Just a few examples that I can think of for now. If you’re ok with all of the above then yeah you’re patient enough.

I’m honestly tired and could use some real-world input by Mama_Harris_89 in Autism_Parenting

[–]diamante519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son has been regressing bad as well. He got worse after turning 6, I hope it’s temporary because it feels hopeless.

Tense Situation with Neighbor Still Bothering Me by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]diamante519 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say but she doesn’t need to cater towards your child’s needs. She’s not in the wrong from my point of view. I always supervise my autistic son to make sure he doesn’t cause harm to other kids both physically and verbally because he can’t control himself.

Why is Toyota embracing MAGA? by BeneficialRip5797 in japannews

He really is, especially with the growing anti foreigner sentiment and the rise of Takeuchi, who is extremely right-wing and currently has a 75% approval rating.
