Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Never posted in this thread, but having to put antibacterial eye drops in my 4 year old's eyes for pink eye this past week is arguably the worst thing I've had to do as a parent, thus far. Fml.
Must've been someone else. I guess your wife's roller coaster irrationality could just be of the monthly variety.

My 4 year old HATED having his toe nails trimmed when he was younger. It made me feel like a shit every time. I had to hold him down like a mental patient to do it

Even better was I worked with the kid for like 30 minutes last night, having him give me high fives and then clapping. At first he'd just stare at me clapping like I was an idiot, but towards the end he started clapping. Well.. he would clap by clapping one hand on top of the other instead of palm to palm. I took it as a victory and hopefully my wife realized it was a good sign.
Yeah, it has been his legs between my knees, with my wife pinning his arms and locking his dead down. Terrible.

Jesus in a hand basket. I decided to watch some videos of what these morons are saying are autistic babies. I did more than half this shit when I was a kid and I am not autistic. (Welp... I opened up myself on that one)
Seriously. I do not believe for one second that autism is as bad as everyone is making it out to be with regards to saturation. Who the hell is behind selling the medication for this?

Kids also mature at wildly varying rates. Basically, she needs to calm the fuck down.

If it wasn't obvious that telling her to calm the fuck down was aimed at the wife, I apologize

1 year is probably too young to be able to tell anything for sure, but there are warning signs that are observable that early. Simple things like, well, all the things you listed that he doesn't do at this point.
Edit: I'm late to the party. I just read your next post. So, yeah, if pointing was the only thing he isn't doing, that's not enough information. The absence of all of those things? That could be a problem, yes, and I'd keep my eye on him at that point, because all of those things that you mentioned are social skills, and they are all along the same lines of what my daughter didn't do.
Also, the people that are saying "calm down, it's probably nothing"? You'd have been wrong with my kid. No, you don't have to go apeshit over these things, but there are signs to watch for, and I'm glad my wife and I learned what was going on in time. If we hadn't, our daughter wouldn't have made the progress that she has, because we got her into some great programs in time.

The fact that you believe that it's medically treatable shows that you need to learn more about autism.
Every time you have to do something mine that, just think to yourself about what the parents of kids who have to do daily shots or other worse things to their kid for the benefit of the child and it helps. It could always be worse.
Seriously pick up the wonder weeks book and have her read it, front to back. Lots of stories in the book with moms having the same type fears etc..

Any of your kids have issues with swollen neck glands? My wife and I don't, but every time our kid gets sick his neck swells up like a roided-up bodybuilder for several weeks afterwards. Our doctor says its normal in a lot of young kids, but it seems odd to me, no one in my family ever had this issue as a child.

Oh.
Yes there are other combinations of therapy and whatever else. But where there is a pill? There is a panic attack to cause parents to "Medicate" their kids and bring in some of that needed revenue to the pharmecuticals. Either way, after watching some of those "Signs and Symptoms" 100% of American kids go through one or the other. Give me a break. I am not saying Autism doesn't exist. I am saying it is not 1 in 12 kids. BUt hey, that sure sells a lot of therapy and anti psychotics.

I had to do this with my oldest. But instead of eye drops, it was shoving a suppository up her ass. So you all have me to thank for her future "film" career.

That long delay is just how babies work. Took an early play class with an early childhood specialist and she explained it that 30 seconds may seem like an eternity for us but that's just when they start getting the gears turning. Don't be surprised if it takes a couple minutes for him to respond. It's normal.
