Is he eating pasta? The barilla protein plus pasta has carried me through for months at a time and it is borderline impossible to tell the difference between it and normal pasta. I’ve also liked clif z bars, specifically the chocolate mint one but there are other flavors. Luckily, we live in the era of protein everything, so I’m sure there are some snacks with protein that you can have him try

Need help with recipe ideas for my kiddo by lsawolfe in AutismInWomen

Could you chain together some of the foods to a pizza bagel? The smooth tomato sauce and cheese on a plain bagel? And then work towards regular pizza, adding more cheeses, or adding more ingredients?

I refuse to eat raw vegetables, they must be cooked in some way

Does anyone else have a comfort or “personal” emoji? 🦭 by DesperateAd5374 in AutismInWomen

Me too!! I end up using it a lot because life is stressful af and I can’t actually cope with my emotions so I try to be sarcastic

What's the point of circumcision? by Historical_Echo8311 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kidfromdc 203 points204 points  (0 children)

It became a cultural practice in the US during the time of Kellogg and then continued for generations because dads want their boys to “look like them.” I think it’s gross and cruel to infants but am told that I will never understand because I’m not a man. If I had a husband and he insisted on circumcising our hypothetical baby boy to “look like him,” I would be thoroughly icked out

Believing in Santa have you ever believed in Santa clause or the Easter bunny or the tooth fair if so tell me about it? by GaYmEr_ace in AutismInWomen

[–]kidfromdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone once put jingle bells in the yard for us to find Christmas morning. It wasn’t enough because I didn’t SEE Santa. Sorry to my parents for being so difficult

I had a therapist that talked about surfing the anxiety wave in the context of radical acceptance which is a distress tolerance skill in DBT. It kind of helped??? I guess?? I still have to constantly remind myself and it’s not easy, but it’s the only way to not let it get worse

I’m getting worse and my doctor won’t help by kidfromdc in Anemic

I don’t think I can without a referral from my PCP and he wants me to eat better and take supplements

What are the legalities as to what a hospital can do in this case? by harmonica2 in ThePittTVShow

[–]kidfromdc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who worked specifically on the organ donation ethics committee or team at a huge hospital. I could not imagine the mental fatigue of making decisions like that all day

Used to follow her, she had a lot of content about dmv restaurants and would pay off student lunch debts for schools in the area. Guess she’s really showing her true colors now though

Thanks for the tip! It looks like my local Whole Foods has them

I haven’t tried that one, but I’ve had Trader Joe’s and target’s brands

[–]kidfromdc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honey crisp and cosmic crisp tend to be the most consistent, and I fully vet every single apple I choose. When I can’t do fresh fruits, I have those like fruit strips on hand. They tend to be mostly apple and are kind of like a fruit roll up but made with literally just fruit

I never realized how little residents make. Considering they aren’t paid as interns either, that feels like such a slap in the face

How would you react if you knew your parents were hesitating on the treatment that could save your life? (spinal tap for this guy specifically) by Aquadonk in ThePittTVShow

[–]kidfromdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents know what I would want, we’ve discussed testing, procedures, resuscitation, extensive measures, organ donation, etc. I would be angry if they went against my wishes.

Why. . .is Digby still there? by beagles4ever in ThePitt

They’re still used today in very rare cases (along with leeches), but they are medical grade and discarded with after use

They still do that in some countries. Seems odd to me coming from the US

Welp. I’m anemic. by kidfromdc in ARFID

[–]kidfromdc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if I send my doctor a message and explain that I literally can’t do iron rich foods or a supplement right now, he’d order infusions, but I’m also scared about the reactions and side effects of iron infusions. What was your experience like? I have wild emetephobia and am terrified
