  1. CW: Loose baby teeth

    The Langdon Lemma (8) has a pretty short list of acceptable foods (#NeuroSparkly), and one of the entries is frozen chicken nuggets *in their frozen state*. He’s had a loose tooth and can’t stand to feel them wiggle, though, so for the last six or so weeks he’s only accepted very soft foods. Last night it finally fell out, though, and just now he did an entire happy dance about being able to eat frozen nuggets again. Happy for the little weirdo (complimentary). 🎉

  3. CW: Professional School Adult Shenanigans

    A situation at school occurred where six kids gang up on an adult and physically beat on him. Police came. My son was involved. School reacted to behavior. I sensed a deeper issue and this was a symptom. Encouraged group discussion for everyone to be heard.

    Finally they got the group together. And I was right. Adults were shocked that kids were feeling ignored and abused. Progress.

  15. #unmasking can be fun, especially when you do it with school “#professionals” to offer examples of the observations they make of your progeny. You wonder why my son doesn’t open up to you more? On some level he’s traumatized and afraid of you and your #ableism. Let me explain… And when I’m done they’re like “oh, wow, we have noticed those things too!”

    😑 Um, then why didn’t you use those a signal to CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR and interact with him differently? 😖

  17. I’ve been listening to these CHC podcasts. I’m increasingly concerned these are too focused on fixing children. I want to give my son tools to survive the world, but sometimes I’m not sure when it veers into conversion therapy.

  22. 🧵 1/2 Last week I receive a language report from new school behaviorist. Bad words my son used, all euphemisms. No context. And a schedule of punishments.

    Eventually I found part of the issue was his being triggered by the adult when told his PBT score would be reduced. Then he reacts badly and then the punishments add up. His previous behaviorist figured this out and approached it differently.

  32. Last night my son was up late and I checked in. He asks if I want to see the drawing he did. I had questions. I’m impressed! I did ask if he traced it. Nope. He hand drew it, inverted. My son who school “professionals,” and who know better than parents, said he had small motor issues and that’s why he had trouble writing. Nope! It turns out he loves to write and draw and create. He just couldn’t learn it FROM YOU.

  37. @hellomiakoda THIS! I can remember that feeling of flight response so many times. Sound triggers me most. I’m glad to be able to tell the other person, “it’s not you, it’s the sound. It’s a normal sound but right now I just can’t. I either need to go or I need you to please stop.”

    This is why diagnosis and support are crucial. It doesn’t eliminate the challenges but it sure helps us live better with them.

  42. My son has been into govt, history, military, and old things generally. So at first he expressed an interest in another WW2 army uniform (khaki) this year. But after a bit he sent me a link to a George Washington costume! Interests aligned! Apparently it’s the coat that caught his eye. I’m curious if he’ll wear the wig and hat. 😁
