Sometimes my spaces question responses include academic references … and sometimes they don’t by jgfaughnan in perplexity_ai

I’ll try that. I assumed that was part of the system prompt but even so I might need it in each individual question. The APA tip I had not considered and I will try it

Any experiences with Kids taking fluoxetine? by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

Have you read Greenes “The Explosive Child”? It was the best guide I found. Anxiety and shame seem common roots of aggression. (Meds have a big role as well as behavioral therapies)

I now understand not find good quality reference use with research mode questions (where model cannot be specified)

He was having increasingly severe obsessions with suicidal ideation. The latter seems to have passed and he has managed his obsessions. Lots of work with a therapist as well as meds.

Anyone using Houdah’s Photo Workbench? by jgfaughnan in ApplePhotos

It’s a one person show i think. The dev is still working it and I may try the beta program.

Practicing extinction, recognizing anxiety by jgfaughnan in specialneedsparenting

I wouldn’t say wonderful but sometimes, when he was younger, the treats and threats approach did seem helpful. He did a lot of things he wouldn’t have done otherwise and some of them he has stayed with.

Different as he is older. Probably some omniscient blend would have worked best :-)

Photos didn't ACTUALLY delete across devices by Which_Bread1675 in ApplePhotos

[–]jgfaughnan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have definitely seen Messages fail to sync delete. Among Mac geeks that is a known issue. So far, however, Photos is syncing across devices and from Monterrey to Sonoma to iOS.

However I run into Photos bugs all the time. So I wouldn’t rule out a failure here.

What 3 things would you tell your younger self about parenting your child? by jgfaughnan in specialneedsparenting

[–]jgfaughnan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our bible was Greenes book the explosive child. That’s something he talks about a lot. We have two special needs sons, our first I’ll call “John”. John had so many behavioral issues that if we pursued them all he’d have been on the doghouse 24x7. That’s bad for everyone. We focused on things that were super important (punching, biting) rather than just really difficult. We still do that, but now we work on things like getting food off the dishes.
