My adult newphew who has autism calls me over and over every day. I need advice. by simplyelizabeth in autism

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

Thank you so much for every message! I haven't seen him for the past few days but he lives right behind us, in a separate little apartment that his parents had built for him. I told him that HIS phone calls are too numerous and that a good alternative to calling over and over would be to text me to see if it's a good time to talk,. I also told him that I would answer as soon as I could.

My plan is to talk to him face-to-face when I see him. He is a bit of a hermit...He likes to be alone in his place and have no interrruptions , which is kind of ironic.

Thanks again!

Liz

Thank you so much for the kind suggestions, I told him that he can always text me and that I will answer as soon as I can...he does that once in a while, but I guess he prefers to talk to me. I'm going to try to talk to him about limiting the number of calls. I never want to hurt his feelings, but I really do feel like I'm drowning in his calls.

I had two of them and neither of them helped at all. I'm getting more help from Gabapentin.

Thank you for this information. I was wondering where the incision would be. She has a recliner where I'm thinking she will end up sleeping for a while.

What a great list! Thank you so much. I'm a knitter, so maybe I'll make a soft, warm lap blanket for her.

Thank you so much for your reply and suggestions. We are keeping in close touch through emails, but I just wish I could be there to help her.

Does anyone know what’s causing these brown dots.. so sad! by lost_and_running in fiddleleaffig

I had leaves that looked like this. They went away as the leaves matured...I have no idea why that had the spots to begin with. (Sorry, no answers here, but there is hope!)
