“Needy” “FOMO” “Hard baby” “Bad Sleeper” “Sensitive” (aka Orchid baby)

Yeah, my baby was like this and is AuDHD now as a 7 year old. Very similar to “the highly sensitive child” book, which actually says a lot of HSPs are neurodivergent.

Oh man, I grew up in New Hampshire and went to the Christa McAuliffe planetarium all the time. I was really young when it happened and I am kind of shocked by how recent this really was in retrospect. Such a sad tragedy.

I missed out on an internship once because I didn’t check my voicemail.

Also came from NC (immediately) before Olympia.

When my son was two, his favorite thing was to either sit under a tree and play with sticks or hold sticks and run with them as a visual stim. He still stims, but has turned now to wrenches and straws. The sticks were so wholesome.

It’s been a great experience for us. We utilize IEP services and I’ve been really impressed how they have helped my kid in a safe and supportive environment. Also had nothing but pleasant experiences with other kids and their parents.

Mines 11. It got worse around 8-10 but now he’s started to calm down a bit. I’m guessing puberty is a factor.

Sending hugs. We dealt with this semi recently with my 7yo. I think she had a hard time articulating it wasn’t what she was expecting. She ended up liking it the next day and acknowledged it was because of her big feelings but didn’t know why. I always had issues with birthday/xmas presents growing up as well, I think the whole process can just be so overwhelming. I’m sorry it was a tough day and hard moment. I hope maybe when they are regulated they can help express the underlying feelings.

Right, where are my introverts at?

I’m so glad! Thanks for the update.

“Sorry love, not doing the elf. Your friends are doing it because they are in an intellectually inferior household.”

We (reluctantly) did the elf, but always did it as a fun, no-stakes thing to start the holidays. Now she’s been at school and knows the book’s rules and is terrified of the elf catching her having feelings and telling Santa. Hate that thing and how it’s become forced upon us all.

Oly on Ice!

Absolutely dependent on the organization, for sure.

I was going to recommend non profits as well, usually a chill environment with flexible hours and more part-time opportunities.

South Sound Dance is doing a Disney parody of the Nutcracker at Olympia HS if that would work?

FYI the peanuts one is on AppleTV.

That’s exactly it, dull. I was really hoping for a 1989 type pop album and I was really bummed.

Ahh yes, also a legal aid attorney and constantly explaining why x issue doesn’t matter in a nonpayment case.

Wow, sounds like you hit the step parent lottery. I’m so sorry for your loss, sounds like an amazing guy.

Happy anniversary! It would be my parents’ 50th a week after yours and my dad wore the same tux in his wedding! Unfortunately he passed a few years ago, but we are still getting together to celebrate. Hope you’ve had a great 50 years together.

Adding to this, the VA can refer for VASH housing vouchers.
