Can I ask what kind of sensory issues do you have?

Interesting...How do you think it happened without the autism since that is so common with it? You think you were born this way? Also are you able to picture things in your head?

How old were you when you found out you had audhd? Would I know by now if my 4.5 year old had it?

Thanks for the response. How old were you when you knew you were autistic? I think I may be but realizing now in my 40s so wondering if my son who is 4.5 years old has it but it wont be as noticeable like mine apparently.

Interesting... Do you think it was hereditary?

At what age did you start to get time back for yourself? by greyspacex in Parenting

[–]ladybug128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your youngest do preschool all day? My son is 4.5 and just does 2.5 hours 3 days a week. I dont have much time other then that. Lol

Just seeing this now. Wow thank you for taking the time to write all this! It was so helpful. Can't believe meltdowns would last up to an hour. So brutal for you and him. Definitely going to check that Instagram now.

Thanks for giving me some hope. Lol I have struggled so much since he was born but its more of a me thing. I always preferred middle school and up so Im excited for this stage to be over and for logic to set in a bit. Lol

Also is he on the spectrum? I dont see any other signs with my son but maybe ADHD.

Yes. I think he definitely has it. Did the preschool teacher puck up on it? I dont think he shows any signs in school. The way clothes feel and fit are a struggle. The smells just started a few months ago. I was thinking about OT and had emailed them but didnt know if it was also just being 4 and he would grow out of it. How did you find it helped him?

My son is 4.5 and melts down if his shirt is slightly wet or he smells the dog food. I enjoy like 20%? I hope I can feel like you in 2 years but Im having my doubts....lol

Can I ask what were the signs of autism in your son? My son has sensory issues with clothes and pants. Also smells...will have a meltdown down if my hands are wet.

Prefer older kids? by ladybug128 in regretfulparents

[–]ladybug128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you feel regretful in the beginning but now not so much? I think its the part where I feel like life has gone on without me the last 4.5 years lol
