Fit the first one. Not the other two 😂

Another staple increasing. But this one is a massive issue for families in poverty who rely on it

Absolute nut job

Autistic son will take any invention that blocks noise so hopefully this becomes something 🙈😂

By this age we had started reading to him at ‘bedtime’ every night (even though he was still up many times after!) so my recommendation is for the Julia Donaldson lift the flap series: rabbits nap, foxes socks etc. we’ve gone through 2-3 of them between our two kids as they were absolutely beloved and worn to a thread.

Other than that it’s a bit of a blur 😂

Oh this was an excellent read thanks! Sensible rundown of where we are with justifications

[-] gooddaytodayhere@vlemmy.net 13 points 1 year ago

Yup. Not going to be available so it’s an easy decision for now

[-] gooddaytodayhere@vlemmy.net 12 points 1 year ago

OMG no that isn’t mildly irritating that’s insanely annoying….

[-] gooddaytodayhere@vlemmy.net 6 points 1 year ago

Oh man I love this 😂

That’s absolutely horrifying as a parent. Imagine going from a modern country to becoming a war zone to being conquered and your kids being forcibly removed from you? I’d crack up

I don’t think Reddit is imploding overnight but there seems to be an element of death by a thousand cuts happening. I’ve left and burned out three old usernames and over ten years worth of posts/comments. I’ll still use it to find answers to things but increasingly over the last month the threads are peppered with deleted comments and gaps

Just joined from Reddit and aiming to try and be active!

I literally just booked my tickets/hotel/flights to Efteling in the Netherlands. Anyone been? What’s your favourite? Baron 1898 looks cool!

Autism Parenting (vlemmy.net)

Some days you worry about whether you are doing the right thing as a parent. You second guess yourself all the time. My son went to a gaelscoil (school through Irish, it’s not our main language at home). I have second guessed myself about choosing that route, about the age he started etc. As the diagnoses (Autism/ADHD) first rolled in at age 7 when the anxiety hit the roof I questioned and debated again whether I made the right calls. The following year the dyslexia diagnosis came in and I properly panicked to have him in a dual language school. But ultimately their support is great. And we couldn’t get him in anywhere else local. And we worried about moving him from his friends as making them is very hard for him

Two years ago we could not discuss emotions with him. He’s been in play therapy and psychology and has settled completely into himself. But still will not discuss emotions or feelings with us or others. He’s always ‘bad’ or ‘doesn’t know’.

Other days however you can take the win, recognise it and bask in the realisation that right now? Right now his school are doing AMAZING!

Last February they asked could they put him in a small group social support group as they felt he was ready. He came home today with a scrap book full of photos and pictures and writing (writing is a massive problem for him!) describing himself in a positive light, describing emotions, listing out his worries…. NGL I cried. This is just so amazing to see and I can’t believe they managed to get this all out of him

Today is a good day
