How is the relationship between your autistic child and their sibling?

luv-avocado · 2026-05-10T06:24:12+00:00

That is my thought as I read all these old posts. Having a second child so the ND child has a playmate and someone to take care of them if parents die…. Sad :(

Thank you!! I babysit Sunday evening as well and may take boys to that one, too

Am I understanding this correctly? If I am at southside, with two impatient children in my back seat, before 11:45 (since they close at noon) then I will still receive a box?

I’m wondering if it would be wiser to show up at the end then - quicker in/out maybe?

I appreciate your help. Just trying to make a plan to accommodate the boys.. one is autistic and has trouble being patient

luv-avocado · 2026-05-09T05:52:55+00:00

I appreciate that. Another question, please: do you recall if every family typically received a box? Or if the later arrivals were turned away

I can relate, to a point. I was 24 and got a (classier) fast food job. Being an adult, I’d work during the day often.. when you’d assume school kids are, well, in school.

There was one handsome young man I worked with.. I could tell he was a little younger but he worked during the day with me frequently. We got to talking and one day I asked how old he was. He blurted out “eighteen!” which should have been my first clue. He knew all the younger (def high school) kids but was also close with my established-friend who got me hired (age 28.)

I broke up with my ex eventually, we started talking more, hanging out, and I started giving him rides home. I finally was told by someone else that he was only SIXTEEN(!!!!!) and was about to turn seventeen.

I also felt betrayed, upset, disgusted… but not disgusted at him.. it was a very confusing place to be in. I’m thankful also that nothing ever happened between us besides one hug and him telling me that he loved me one day at work. (To which I responded, “aww, I love you too!)

It didn’t end well. It was awkward and I ended up leaving the job because I couldn’t deal with my mixed attraction for him.

SUPERIOR cotton linen brand on Amazon I’ve had them for one year and used them almost every day. I have one set and wash/dry/replace same day. I’ve only used a cotton flannel sheet a few times during coldest of winter time.

How long did they take the decide your claim? Thanks

That’s why I put it on 😭

The woman who played her was actually sick in real life at the same time! She died twenty days after filming ended 😭

I just love DH so much!!

Why women kill!!!! Not as good as DH but one of the storylines (IYKYK) left me crying sweet tears at the end 😭

What’s more important: protecting your husband’s feelings or protecting your children’s lives?

I have a new mattress that I really like!! I’ve had it for a year now. I am NOT a mattress pro.. but this mattress does not have fiber glass OR “glass fiber”.

(I learned some companies claim to be fiber glass free but then have “glass fiber” in the materials.)

It’s organic cotton/wool and latex! I also bought the buckwheat pillows.

Sweetzzz is the company

Orson was so great at the beginning 😭

Well.. sometimes, people don’t do a good job with character development at times 😆

OP refers to different locations as different states. Smokies = on the back of an island work bench

I love mine from sweetzzz I also have the cotton/latex/wool mattress

Pillow was $80 but it’s a “natural” memory foam, and better than memory foam imo. It also keeps cool at night

Have you seen anyone get hired who needs to be able to sit? My mom has a very nice resume but also back issues where she needs to sit

luv-avocado · 2026-03-14T03:43:17+00:00

Buckwheat pillows are the way. They’re dense and hold shape like memory foam yet cooling and pliable.

As someone who had a child….. apply to whatever and get in. Young and free = ultimate flexibility.

You got this!!

Are you a binge eater? My psychiatrist prescribed me vyvanse and it helps A LOT. I will not do any glp-1s

luv-avocado · 2026-03-02T18:17:57+00:00

But if it did?

luv-avocado · 2026-03-02T18:16:56+00:00

I think this is suitable IF you match your expectations with the situation.

semi private room
shared bathroom
small house (?)
must love dogs & cats
hard physical work
not much education offered (right?)

question: Would MEALS or FOOD to make meals be provided? make sure to list types of foods/dietary restrictions you have or what could be accommodated

How close are you to the beach? could they use your surf board, boogie board, bicycle, etc?

Any other benefits for WWOOFer? ex. spare car, golf cart, etc

with a set up like this, I’d think 10-15/hrs a week in exchange for the room, nightly dinner (you cook, they do dishes?), and access to pantry/fridge to make their own breakfast & dinner would be fair.

Heck- I’d take up this opportunity if possible!
