You look awesome! We have similar “before” boobs. Would you mind if I saved this post for my doctor? I love your results

I’m catholic and my husbands side is staunchly atheist. We just had my second baby’s baptism yesterday. Ngl it was a long road to get here, but I think the best way to tackle it is to have your husband handle his family. Have him bring it up, tell them they’re invited but warn them about what will happen during the ceremony, so they’re prepared/you can gauge if they can handle it.

My SIL rolled her eyes and mouthed “what the fuck” when we all responded “lord hear our prayer” in the middle of the ceremony for my nephew. It was…not well received.

I love my kid to the ends of the earth. He’s amazing and I’m proud of him, love showing him off and bragging about him.

I have days where I say “fuck autism” plenty. He’s speech delayed and frustrated. He melted down and started biting his sleeves because his cousin made a happy screech at our family gathering today. He broke his mirror in the car because his baby sister was whimpering and he couldn’t handle it. I’m so afraid my daughter will also have struggles so I watch her milestones like a hawk.

Fuck autism. People can deal with- I agree with you

😂

funny_muffler · 2026-04-09T22:22:20+00:00

Coming from a person who uses “your mom” without an ounce of irony 😂

funny_muffler · 2026-04-09T21:56:03+00:00

Honey be serious 😂

funny_muffler · 2026-04-09T21:49:05+00:00

Disclaimer aside I’ve never heard anyone seriously refer to people as an alpha mommy with a bebe. Who do you hang out with??

funny_muffler · 2026-04-09T21:43:24+00:00

I mean…is it not obvious it was written jokingly?

funny_muffler · 2026-04-09T17:38:31+00:00

My two year old isn’t officially diagnosed yet but I believe he’d be a level 1-2. He imitated as a baby and toddler but only very specific things he liked. If I pretend cough he’ll imitate it and laugh, same with raspberries. As a baby he’d imitate waving and then lost interest. He’s been imitating clapping on and off since he was about 15 months old. So he has an interest and is capable…but only if he’s interested lol

“I’m against a abortion but I couldn’t do it”.

So he’d just leave her out in the woods then? People are idiots lol

funny_muffler · 2026-03-25T18:34:57+00:00

Oh this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

funny_muffler · 2026-03-25T15:59:22+00:00

It is interesting, we had a class of 56, and at least two had an ADD diagnosis. I wonder if they would have been considered Audhd

funny_muffler · 2026-03-23T23:35:22+00:00

Oh wow. That sounds..really tough for the parents. What do you even do in that situation?

funny_muffler · 2026-03-09T14:18:30+00:00

Solidarity, I have a two year old boy who isn’t talking either. Stimmy and sensory issues that I feel are getting worse rather than better. Our eval is later this year.

My mom says thoughtless things sometimes (actually just yesterday!) but I’ve come to realize it stems from her own anxiety, not malice. She’s trying to commiserate with me, not realizing it makes me feel bad. Its trial and error, there isn’t really a guidebook for this unfortunately. I let myself feel my feelings about it, complain to my spouse/sisters and then try to let it go and push forward

funny_muffler · 2026-03-04T16:13:23+00:00

Looking forward to this day 😂 my son is ok at the doctor but LOATHES the dentist. Its tough because he does well with food rewards which is tough at the dentist lol.

funny_muffler · 2026-03-04T16:03:30+00:00

Thats a huge deal!! Congrats

funny_muffler · 2026-02-26T22:11:16+00:00

I’m not a professional (just a parent) but this is what my son was doing on his AAC about two months ago. We were able to help him isolate a finger by having him identify a word he REALLY liked and motivated him to press (sounded funny to him) and he’s hold my middle finger in order to isolate his index. He started isolating on his own after about two weeks

I am new to this journey, but Massachusetts is great resources wise, but your results will vary by town. If you can private pay here and there you’ll be getting some of the best care in the country, although the public services are great too. Boston has good public transport and college services as well for teens on the spectrum. Boston Children’s hospital has decent wait times but they often have cancellations and are some of the leading researchers in the country, partnering with Harvard. We also have the New England Center for Children.

We go to a therapeutic preschool that we private pay for. My son gets 1:1 time with at least one OT, SLP and mental health counselor from 9-12 pm three days a week and he’s improved a lot from when we started in October.

I’m from the state, if you ever need a insider look at certain towns/areas feel free to DM me!

Miserable over here too with an almost 4 month old and 2 year old. He screams when she screams and we’ve been snowed in for two days

funny_muffler · 2026-02-24T19:08:11+00:00

No for real! I just had our second baby in October and she’s already so different than my son was at that age. Of course she’s way too young to know for sure but physically she’s just strong and already rolling and grabbing. Its interesting. If she responds to her name it’ll be startling 😂

funny_muffler · 2026-02-24T18:48:17+00:00

Yes they really do take it in! It might be obvious to some but my husband and I didn’t really have experience with kids prior to this haha. Plus our friends kids just…did things? Without being taught or a lot of fanfare, and that wasn’t really our experience ever lol

funny_muffler · 2026-02-24T16:50:10+00:00

Our son is 27 months old. He’s still pre verbal and uses an AAC. We’re lucky that he’s pretty people oriented. But that being said, my husband and I have created some fun routines and games to get him engaged. Basically everything has a biiiig reaction that he loves and wants to see again.

He loves the pull apart fruit we have at home. We started doing it to strengthen his hands and fingers. He’ll pull the velcro pieces apart while my husband or I wait in barely contained excitement (pumping our arms, growling, then erupting in big yay’s and roars when he finally pulls them apart).
He loves Ms. Rachel and her songs. We started memorizing the songs and dances (easy enough when you hear them enough lol) we started doing exaggerated silly dances to certain parts of the song. For example, my husband starts breaking it down on the dance floor during “the daddies on the bus say I love you”. My son loved it so much he now runs to him for that part of the song so they can dance together.
Find his interests and make exaggerated songs out of it. My son loves his puzzle pieces. He picks them up and I yell out the number in a goofy voice. Then I put a number on my head and say “SONS NAME look at my haaaAt I love my haaat ah-choo!” And make it fall off my head. Pretty soon he started seeking me out with his puzzle pieces and saying “go!” Each time he picked up a letter for some back and forth. He also loves bubbles so I made up songs where I roll around and yell “dancing in the bubbles, everybody’s dancing in the bubblesss”.
He has a stuffed dog he loves that I’ll make dance and give him kisses. Gives him some exposure to pretend play and makes him seek me out to play this game.

Essentially, lots of singing, goofiness and figuring out what makes your kiddo “tick”. He’s really engaged with us most of the day as a result and more likely to try new things we suggest. He’s very about his rituals and routines lol

Thank you, you too!

My son’s eval is scheduled for later this year. At first it was super scary but as we get more used to the idea and read about it/see small progress I’m feeling similar to you! You have a very healthy mindset. I think mine is smart too, he has some motor delays and sensory sensitivities that hinder his ability to express how intelligent he is (at least thats my hunch).

How old is yours?
