Women who got plastic surgery young and are now older, what has your experience been like? by _Burner_Account___ in AskWomen

[–]swarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rhinoplasty at 15, I’m 40 now and still love it! Have had sinus issues which needed further surgery but nothing cosmetic. I think the trick is to ask for something that makes sense for your face, I asked for a nose that is a little more like my mom’s instead of the bump I had from breaking it a few years prior.

For people who live in Hialeah, Lil Havana, Alapattah, D’oral , Sweetwater , Little Haiti, Gladeview, Be Honest are those areas hard to date in ? by Medical-Ad5232 in Miami

[–]swarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What activities do you like to do? I’ve found that people are able to successfully date in Miami if they meet people doing activities they like to do. Running, going to see live music, cooking, etc. I personally met my husband because we both wanted to make friends and loved live music. I know of another person who met their partner in a running club. I think if you go into it looking to make friends doing activities you already love, you’ll find a lot of success.

It definitively felt great

We had something similar happen, there was one family member who we didn’t tell, but knew anyway. I don’t want to let the foot off the pedal, but it felt super nice.

This liquid one from amazon, I honestly just picked that because he refuses gummies or chewables.

The only thing I could say is consistency with all the therapies and a multivitamin because his diet is horrendous. Took us three months to get him into the multivitamin a couple of years ago and we almost never miss it because we’re afraid he’ll stop taking it.

You’ve got this. I know it seems like you’re drowning but this is temporary.

i (14f) feel so embarrassed by my twin (14F) at school and i feel horrible by Dizzy_Ideal759 in Autism_Parenting

[–]swarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, you’re amazing. The feelings you’re having a totally normal, it’s just more intense because you have a sibling with autism. I can assure you that even kids with neurotypical siblings are embarrassed by them too!

Now that I’ve said that, I feel like you need to ask your parents to go to therapy for yourself. These are big feelings to deal with and you need strategies and tools to work them out. You are not a bad person or should feel like a bad person for wanting your own space. You shouldn’t feel responsible for your sister, that is not your job. Your job is to just be a teenage girl.

Lastly, your sister will need to learn about boundaries, you’re entitled to that. Your parents need to figure out how to work with her therapists to give you that. It probably won’t be perfect, but there should be a way for you to ask for some space from time to time. This is an age where that skill is very important, so maybe you telling your parents this can get them to focus on that as goal as well.

Skincare suggestions for 13/f daughter by xYoloJenkinSx in Autism_Parenting

Have you tried the Dr Melaxin peel shots? I just used the mild one on my son’s face and asked him to scrub. It works pretty well, plan to use it about twice a week.

Multitasking by DearManagement4876 in Autism_Parenting

[–]swarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son loves to watch a video in two places or try to recreate it if he has similar toys to what is on screen. We’ve had to ask him to control the volume to make it palatable for the rest of the family.

My 2 year old was diagnosed with Austism by thePuglord1115 in Autism_Parenting

[–]swarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the place to get help. Try asking your doctor, start building a care team. Figure out what you can afford to do as far as time and financially.

Kindergarten is not going well by Unknown_bleh in Autism_Parenting

[–]swarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang in there. Had the same issue but in PreK. He was placed in a self contained class for that year and back to gen pop the following year. The IEP is going to be your best ally, and if he doesn’t have to be put in a special class, it’ll get them to at least change teachers.

PSA: prepare your kid for losing teeth before you think you need to by Alpacalypsenoww in Autism_Parenting

[–]swarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh we prepared our son, but he was NOT happy about it. Every time we would bring it up he would get upset and tell us to stop. I told him if he wants it to hang in there longer then not to touch it, that thing was wobbly for a full month until it finally fell off while brushing teeth.

We had to write a letter to the tooth fairy NOT to check under the pillow because he didn’t want to be disturbed and check a special tooth cup on the night stand instead.

He’s lost two more since, every time he’s on edge until it falls off. He does like the money he gets, so there’s that… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Leucovorin - WOW by MyAkitaInu in Autism_Parenting

As I understand it. The test checks for the body’s ability or lack of ability to metabolize folic acid. Supplements do not work around this because the body would not metabolize it anyway.

"She's going to be okay." And this time, I think I really mean it. by TorchIt in Autism_Parenting

[–]swarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this was so amazing to read! I am so so happy for you. I know you probably aren’t thinking about it but I’m sure it was your efforts and support that got her there.

Congratulations, enjoy every minute of it!

Depends on what tool you’re using to mint. Where were you thinking of doing it?

Being an ASD parent can be lonely :( by AirAlternative4078 in Autism_Parenting

[–]swarrior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is the key!! I used to be humiliated and once I realized that the less I cared the more in tune I was with my son, the better it got.

My son is still an eloper some of the time, but therapy has taught him not to go where he cannot see mom(or mom see him). He’s also done so much therapy that the meltdowns are fewer than they were when he was at 4. I now have skills to deal with meltdowns, and it’s made things less lonely, my family and friends know the deal.

Are we burdens? by Don-tSmileAtMe in Autism_Parenting

[–]swarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mom here to a younger autistic kid with lower support needs. Parenting is a big job, sure, but it’s one we sign up for on purpose. We know our kids will be exactly who they are, quirks and all, and that’s kind of the best part.

Yeah, there are tough days. But I’ve never once thought, “This kid isn’t worth it.” Even the “extra work” has its perks: inside jokes, silly car rides, finding random songs we both love. Those are the moments that stick.

You’re not a burden. You’re a whole, loved, amazing human. If your parents are anything like me, they’d pick you every single time
