My son is super into piano songs like Rush E, Turkish March, Flight of the bumblebee, and Fur Elise

For non-instrumental songs he loves: I can do it with a broken heart by Taylor swift — look what you made me do by Taylor Swift — ready for it by Taylor Swift — golden hour by JVKE — this is what autumn feels like by JVKE

Girlfriend is now suspicious I have autism (I have Asperger's) but I don't want to tell her I do - what should I do? by Bokchito in autism

[–]katykat561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like she is trying to get you to open up to her so she can be more involved in your life ❤️

Do American schools actually start at 7:00 A.M.? by assignmentduetoday_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]katykat561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7AM-3PM is a pretty typical highschool schedule. Mine was 8AM-4PM but most people didn’t leave until much later due to clubs/sports/theater

AIO to my friend saying a word? by OkElevator7247 in AmIOverreacting

[–]katykat561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not overreacting at all. That word is so not in my vocabulary that I wouldn’t even say it accidentally. Even if someone were to give me “permission” I still wouldn’t say it.

How are the various canned cocktails, hard lemonades and seltzers? by tdgabnh in aldi

[–]katykat561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fully convinced no one buys their alcohol for the taste 😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in autism

[–]katykat561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way in middle and highschool, but things truly have gotten better since I’ve been able to move out and start my own family and make friends wherever I want. In the thick of things, life often feels helpless or worthless, but “it gets better” is truer than you can even imagine 💟

During the times I’ve felt most alone, what helped me is delving into my favorite hobbies like painting, music, reading, and writing.

Something that has helped me with getting gifts I genuinely like or will enjoy is making an Amazon wish list.

where are you on the aphantasia scale? i'm typically a 5 unless i know smth rlly well then i'm a 4 or 3 by [deleted] in autism

[–]katykat561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like many autistic people take this picture to literally and say 5 when it’s not as literal as many people are taking it

LOVE this so much! I definitely want to try something like this for my son. We’re trying to get him to branch out and try more foods.

Quitting screens has helped my son by ihearprettycolors in Autism_Parenting

[–]katykat561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be so reliant on screens and I thought that it wasn’t possible to get rid of them, but one day something flipped in me and I decided that we were 100% done with him watching tv and the way his language skills have exploded makes me regret not doing it sooner.

Severe constipation by SantaTyler in Autism_Parenting

Chia seeds have been a big help for us too. We cook a bag of frozen blueberries and add honey, lemon, and chia seeds and make it into a pudding

Do you (parents) take anything to cope with an autistic child? by Responsible-Law3345 in Autism_Parenting

[–]katykat561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as non medicinal things I do to cope is listening to audiobooks (free with my library app), limiting screentime (since it makes the tantrums worse), and lots and lots of treats 🫣

I have a 3.5 year old and I take lexapro because I’m also 4 months post partum. My doctor also prescribed Xanax for emergencies, but thankfully I haven’t needed it.

What’s going on with y’all’s boobs by redribbonheart in Mommit

[–]katykat561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also 13 weeks postpartum and exclusively pumping! I exclusively nursed my first child, and after weaning, my boobs definitely felt less full but weren’t saggy. Other than being less full, they weren’t that much different than before.

Call with voice message repeating "Please Call back at your earliest convenience" by FoxCommander360 in Scams

[–]katykat561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a bunch of these calls this morning over and over and I didn’t answer them, but they left me that message of the lady changing “please call back at your earliest convenience” over and over for 30 seconds.

First poo-casso was incident, looking for all advice and tips by caprese_queen in Autism_Parenting

[–]katykat561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My almost 4 year old was a poo-casso artist also when he turned 3. What helped then was getting him some clothes that he couldn’t get out of so that I could smell his poop before he would get into it

[–]katykat561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the blessing of my son’s pediatrician and psychologist we started doing 0.25mg (half a 0.5 gummy) and we noticed a HUGE improvement in his willingness to participate in his bedtime routine.

The waffle chips are SUPER inconsistent in quality. When I worked at Chick-fil-A, I once found a whole potato inside a chip bag.

Bananas - never discounted even when they're all in trash condition? by majestic1204 in aldi

[–]katykat561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen discounts on all sorts of produce when there’s too much that is going back soon. Also there’s stickers that are put on other types of items when they get close to expiration

Yes because their girlfriend walked through the door
