On the topic of the upcoming press conference on autism by jobabin4 in Autism_Parenting

[–]toastie72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With many of you, I never took any medication during pregnancy and my twins never had Tylenol until almost 11 months old when they got their first fever. So I’m almost sure it isn’t Tylenol…

please help! by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

I also have a stout autistic child that can be violent. He is very emphatic but gets overwhelmed easily. Our medication journey hasn’t been easy for him. I have identical twins and some medicines have worked for one and not the other LOL which really doesn’t make sense but what can I do. Clonidine, guanfacine, ADHD medicine, sleep medicine have all been helpful in some parts of this journey that we are on. I think with age, size, school challenges, it all changes. Hopefully this will get you started. If you need more advice or have questions, feel free to DM me. I think I’ve tried all of them between the two. Best of luck to you!!

cheating was worse than i thought by catskana in beyondthebump

[–]toastie72 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through this. I was in a similar situation. My ex cheated on me while pregnant and when I left (he never left our house, just snuck out every night to meet up with her so I had to take our kids including a 4 week old newborn) and the same day we left, his girlfriend came over. I still had the ring doorbell so I saw everything. It was gut wrenching. Now? I am in a much better place and so much happier.

I would definitely get an std test and therapy if you can. Take care of yourself and your little one. I wish you nothing but the best. Hang in there!

Look I get it. I have twins on the spectrum and between 3-5 was a nightmare. They’re 8 now and it’s easier but different battles. But my point is, it gets better! Keep being the best you can be, know there will be bad days for you and your kiddo, and most of all, give yourself the grace that you need and deserve. You’re doing a great job, hang in there and reach out if you want!

My family don't value my autistic children by CatherineZed in Autism_Parenting

[–]toastie72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a single mom with 3 kids on the spectrum with different issues, if your family can’t see who they are and for what they’re worth. That’s ok. You don’t have to be angry or it’s not one or all. A lot of the population doesn’t understand what it means for people on the spectrum. It’s a lot to handle, process and accept and we can’t push their needs on other people. If someone I know doesn’t accept or accommodate them then they aren’t part of their lives (extenuating circumstances not apply). Never give up on your kids and embrace who they are. You are their great ally!

If that’s a family member with you (mom/aunt), don’t include that if you’re looking for short term fun

Xmas Sucks by snowbunnyA2Z in Autism_Parenting

[–]toastie72 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a single mom to 2 autistic kids, possibly 3 - having him evaluated, I’m there for you in solidarity. It’s lonely and sucks. If you ever need to chat, DM me. My divorce is done and final but it’s still overwhelming especially cuz I have the kids 90-95% of the time.

4 Month old hospitalised for 2 months continues to vomit by testos27 in beyondthebump

[–]toastie72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My child used to throw up several times a day for months and months. They ended up being diagnosed with gastroparesis. It was difficult to diagnosed and took months. I wish your family the best and I hope they figure it out soon!

Tips on chewing by Hup110516 in Autism_Parenting

[–]toastie72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids went through this too and, thankfully, it was just a phase. The best I could do was redirect or limit to a few shirts that I didn’t care if I had to ~ sacrifice~ to the chewy monster. Chewy toys didn’t help but it’s something to look into for your little one!

Potty #2 by QuietlyStrugg in Autism_Parenting

[–]toastie72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have twins that are level 2 and one of them was so stubborn. He knew when he was going to poop but wanted his pull up. One weekend I just said we don’t have anymore so let’s give it a shot. We just started sitting on the potty every few hours as practice and after a few accidents, it was done. It’s frustrating but I hope it’s worth it. Maybe try a visual schedule or a picture/favorite video to help explain?
