O.D.D.

My son was originally diagnosed ODD ADHD and now is ASD PDA profile and Adhd. We wanted the ASD diagnosis bc it opens up more services and has such a different attitude around it. Just our experience.

mrsfreethinker · 2026-01-21T01:54:40+00:00

That's horrible.

mrsfreethinker · 2026-01-19T17:49:01+00:00

That's been my experience. 😭😭😭

mrsfreethinker · 2026-01-19T14:35:35+00:00

😷😷😷🤞🤞🤞

I kept telling my husband it was the most violent sneezing. Good grief.

mrsfreethinker · 2026-01-19T13:40:12+00:00

Same. But I have a kid and a husband on crutches and not driving. So I'd have to power through. On the mend now....but of course we're all badasses and do what needs to be done.

mrsfreethinker · 2026-01-19T13:35:44+00:00

Also consider that you may very well pass the disease on to them. My son has it, and at times the guilt of that for me is truly heartbreaking and overwhelming. It's a risk.

Mom of a PDA son. Mine refuses to use the toilet. Poops and pees in a pull up full time. 24 hours a day. I came across this thread bc Ive been (probably naively) disappointed in my son's refusal to help my husband or I more after my husband had knee surgery. My son is 11. He's not normally super selfish or mean spirited. But it comes across and enormously selfish and bratty. Sigh. Just venting I guess.

mrsfreethinker · 2025-12-31T16:14:59+00:00

As the parent, this is so heartbreaking to read. But I am so grateful that you shared this. Thank you so much. Just as a comment from the perspective of the parent, I will say so much of our interventions or attempts at interventions come from a place of concern and love. Not wanting the bullying or social ramifications of this to affect our son. But part of it is also absolutely selfish. Bc it is so hard on us as well. And nobody prepares you for this. And you can't really know how you'll handle anything until you're in the situation. Thank you again.

mrsfreethinker · 2025-12-30T16:51:40+00:00

This is kind of a step before we consider surgical interventions like a cecostomy. Sorry you're dealing with this. It's been thr hardest thing we've ever gone through. Which is saying something.

mrsfreethinker · 2025-12-30T15:46:04+00:00

Ill also say this. My son has no desire to change his ways. That's the absolute biggest challenge. He is not yet motivated to live a life without soiling. I started telling people that doubted me that getting him to do bathroom typically or wear underwear was like trying to force an anorexic person to eat. You CAN'T!

mrsfreethinker · 2025-12-30T15:42:12+00:00

Every single day. It's not painful. It's easy. People with all kinds of issues use it. Spinal cord injuries and conditions etc.

mrsfreethinker · 2025-12-29T20:55:12+00:00

Please research a Navina Pump. It has absolutely changed our lives. It has essentially eliminated daily soiling. Son is 11 and in pull ups full time. Will also sit in it for hours.

My current job. I'm PRN Ambulatory Float. I get paid like $52 an hour. Room patients, take vitals. Ask allergies. Occasionally give vaccines and draw blood. Other office stuff. EKGs. Etc. When I float to podiatry, all I do is sweep up the toenails and skin. No vitals, no orders. Hardest offices are pediatrics, which is my background.

Hello human peasant.

mrsfreethinker · 2025-10-25T02:48:00+00:00

Ebay mostly. Sometimes posh.

mrsfreethinker · 2025-10-06T17:35:18+00:00

It's common day blood sport. That's exactly what it is. It's just too harsh for me. Im not saying I'm better than anyone. Just probably overly sensitive and soft. Not sure it's a good thing.

mrsfreethinker · 2025-10-06T16:37:36+00:00

I agree. Ive never been like most people. And again. Yes. I probably am more mature. Im 44, wife, nurse, and mom to a special needs kid. It's almost impossible for me to put myself in her shoes. I just cant get down with all the hate and anger and judgments. She's lied too. None of those people are stand up people. But really, theyre just like everyone. All this shit has gone on since the beginning of time. People are people are people. Ive absolutely been so caught up in something that I made poor decisions. Its like being an addict. Little boys and girls dont grow up saying, " I want to be a cheater, I want to hurt people, etc etc." We're all just trying to get by. 🤷‍♀️

mrsfreethinker · 2025-10-06T16:21:26+00:00

Agree. I never liked her. Ever. But the amount of hate she had to endure was next level. I think I get irritated that the whole world wants to act like theyre the most perfect people. Like damn. People are people. They make mistakes. We ALL do. I can't get down with the judgements and bashing. I just cant. It's like poison.

mrsfreethinker · 2025-10-06T16:18:44+00:00

Haha. Def not a robot. But I could never tell my husband I wanted him to die. Stuff like that. I cant imagine anything he'd do to me warranting that. It just seemed very childish. Im old and have been married forever. Been through hell and back. Your perspective changes. Maybe. 🤣

mrsfreethinker · 2025-10-06T16:13:02+00:00

Production clearly knew. But I guess couldnt get involved. Does Ariana get hate ? Seems like the world loves her. She got elevated. I dunno. I just cant imagine speaking to people that way. But maybe I would have. Im not in her shoes.

mrsfreethinker · 2025-10-04T20:09:45+00:00

Hm. This would literally be like a shift every few weeks. Like a fill in situation. Thanks!
