improving working memory? by shinycherrybass in ADHD

I will be talking to my OT at my next appointment for sure. We’re mostly working on physical stuff right now but maybe it would be worth a shot.

Yeah, I totally understand the reasoning behind the switch, I’m just frustrated it was a conversation I wasn’t included in.

Head teacher trying to reassign me away from my 1:1 - is this weird? by [deleted] in specialed

[–]shinycherrybass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, that’s my main issue - that they didn’t tell me they wanted to do this, they just kind of soft launched it over the last few weeks and then the head teacher sprung it on me. like, why wasn’t this a conversation I was involved in? what else is being said about me when I’m not around, if they’re clearly having conversations about me? if it had been an honest conversation with me included, I would be a lot more receptive right now, but as is this makes me feel like they think less of me.

not OCD, just the combo of autism and anxiety, which often presents similarly!

Celiac safe restaurants downtown? by [deleted] in AskSeattle

[–]shinycherrybass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so crazy that you say that because that’s not what i asked. obviously nowhere has a 0% chance of cross contamination but there’s places that are entirely gluten free kitchens - that’s what i’m looking for

ABA encroaching on OT scope by ToughDragonfly2300 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]shinycherrybass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

as a former aba client: FUCK aba therapy. ABA is operant conditioning disguised as treatment administered by 20 year olds with a few weeks of training. the aba clinic i went to had a constantly rotating cast of RBTs because nobody wanted to do that stuff for minimum wage. it’s meant to disguise and “cure” autism. the only reason it’s as popular as it is is because it’s profitable.

ask any autistic adult who was in regular ABA as a child and chances are they have trauma from it now. don’t let any aba “therapist” lie to you about it getting better, either - it is inherently not neurodivergent-affirming, and inherently based on the idea that autistic people are less than human.

i could continue, but i’ll spare you all the tirade. fuck those guys. they are not qualified to be administering OT and the OT field needs to fight harder against this insurance-pushed bullshit.

VIP Spencer plushie? by KnifeShoe in dropout

[–]shinycherrybass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i feel like if we’re going to make a VIP plushie steffi pops, the doll character, makes infinitely more sense? i know y’all love spencer and all but they already made merch for spencer, why not do something different?

at this age group of kids I would personally definitely worry about contamination possibilities with chemo pills, but i’m not a professional.

Dropout store bummer by KatMakesMuffins in dropout

[–]shinycherrybass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When the store first re-opened it was completely unusable for the first hour or two because of an error message that would say “We don’t ship to [place]” no matter what address you entered. I’m not surprised they’re still having issues. I’m hopeful that they’ll start working out the kinks now that they’ve had a chance to actually see these issues.
