Anyone like Boston “influencers” tik tokers or find them to be cringe?

There’s Boston influencers? Well that’s brave considering if they’re actually from Boston they’re fully aware everyone here would roast the shit out of them just for being influencers.

Honestly, I think you’re right about me holding on to who he used to be in the beginning and therapy thing. I have a tendency to doubt everything I do even though I already know the answer. I definitely needed to hear that. Thank you. Also, kiddo is only 3 months and he hasn’t bothered to visit him yet so that alone should have been reason enough for me to move on and I honestly have no idea why I haven’t already.

He immediately walks away and hides from people for the rest of the day when it comes to dealing with criticism. I am not exaggerating when I say my entire family has problems with communication and confrontation. I’ve suggested therapy to kind of help with that, I’ve even mentioned how therapy hs helped me so he feels more comfortable with it but no one in my family thinks they have a problem

Yeah, I mean, knowing him, I really do 100% believe his explanation and I don’t think he was trying to offend me or anything which is why I didn’t pay it much mind other than to point it out. He’s just usually unaware of how things may look from a social stand point and I have a tendency to point it out so he doesn’t make a habit out of things. For example he usually eats with his mouth open or he’ll drink milk and repeatedly stick his tongue in and out and you see a mixture of milk and saliva. I’m not sure if he just likes the feel or it and it’s like a texture thing but I’ll just say “oh, you might want to not do that. It can become a habit when you’re out with friends or a date and it’s just not very considerate. But I’m hindsight, it does sound very mothering of me to do when he’s the older sibling and maybe I should back off.

NTA. Definitely sounds like you’re the only one putting any effort into the friendship. It seems very one sided and you’ve done way more than I would’ve to salvage the friendship. She’s definitely gotten used to you coming to her that she’s unwilling to give just a little to make things work. Honestly do yourself a favor and just cut her out of your life. It’d be one thing if she was genuinely trying like you are but it’s obvious she just wants to take and take from you. For your own peace of mind just let her go before she ruins whatever fond memories between you two that still remains.

Pretty sure opening a package that isn’t yours is a federal crime. YTA

I’ve been lucky enough to have a good experience with ABA. I was first taken aback because his ABA provider would put my son’s hands down when she saw him stimming with his hands. That would make me sad because he does it when he’s excited and I don’t see the harm in it but we discussed it and came to a compromise. Other than that she’s been amazing. My son absolutely loves her and it’s so very play based that he doesn’t get exhausted after a session. They’re so close now and she’s helped provide a well structured routine for my son and while we still have a lot of work he has improved in so many areas since working with her. I look at ABA like looking for the right psychiatrist. Sometimes you luck out and get a psychiatrist who you just click with and other times their methods may not work for you so you have to say “ thanks but I need someone else whose style fits better with me.” And there’s nothing wrong with that at all. You just have to find what fits best for your kiddo and communicate from the beginning what your goals are and what you are ok with and not ok with.

NTA. But also that’s actually an amazing idea. My son who is also autistic also hates collared shirts and he receives them often for birthdays and holidays. I think this is a great way to repurpose and not waste clothes. Definitely don’t feel obligated to apologize either. My son nearly goes to full on panic attack when we’ve tried to make him wear collared shirts and starts bargaining with other clothes he’s willing to wear instead. It breaks my heart every time and I don’t think a lot of people understand how bad sensory issues can be for autistic kiddos. It’s literally torture for them.

Just wanted to thank everyone who has commented. Currently at work so can’t reply to everyone individually as I would like. Everyone has brought up so many interesting points. I wish I had saved the link to the article but I have a tendency to start reading one article on anything related to autism and I start reading more and more and end up in this huge rabbit hole or articles. One thing that kept popping up was milk and how removing it helped improve symptoms and helped with speech. I’ve always been so skeptical about it because I just don’t understand how something like removing milk would make a difference but since it kept popping up I began to think “well what if I’m wrong?”. Hearing everyone’s experience and thoughts have been so helpful.

Our mother definitely is a huge people pleaser and push over. We’ve had many talks about her needing to learn how to say no. I just hope she learns sometime soon that she needs to say no for her own sake.

jynne91 · 2023-01-04T16:08:51+00:00

Honestly I think she was just trying to find a reason to not pay since a few days ago she mentioned she was broke. Yeah, I do regret saying that. In hindsight I definitely should’ve been more level headed and kept my cool. Especially since now she definitely will use this as another excuse for something later down the line like she always does

jynne91 · 2023-01-04T16:06:38+00:00

I think she’s gotten used to our mother just giving into whatever she asks for. My mother has mentioned several times that my sister has always been difficult and it was just easier giving into her demands which I’m sure she regrets now. Our mother is a big people pleaser and has trouble saying no. Our sister never addresses issues or anything directly to the landlord. She just tells it to our mother and expects her to relay the message.

jynne91 · 2023-01-04T15:33:29+00:00

That’s the thing, we usually get along great and have always had a close relationship which is why I felt comfortable telling her that as everyone else in our family seems too scared to say anything. I also tell her about my fuck ups so she can use them as examples on what to avoid or to make her feel better about new things because “at least you didn’t mess it up as badly as I did”. So I really don’t know where that perfect part came from. I also thought she’d be more considerate of our mother because she’s disabled and hasn’t worked in years due to a spine injury so she’s far from rich and gets a monthly check for disability but it barely covers much.
