Yeah well I've taken a shit while my infant son was strapped to me. You do desperate things when you're going to shit your pants.
My kid had a bloody nose this morning. Why? No idea, he seemed fine, fuck it.Sounds like somebody needs to get their wife to read about theCTFD methodof parenting. Good luck!
Ever given your kid a bloody nose? That little bop you give back to try and teach them that hitting is not acceptable? Yeah... She got ice cream out of the deal...My kid had a bloody nose this morning. Why? No idea, he seemed fine, fuck it.
Jeeze. Sorry, man. Hope test results come back with the best possible outcome. Don't let this change your relationship with her. Nothing has changed there.Had some difficult news today. Our youngest is going to be evaluated for autism. The dr wants to get her thyroid checked first, she said a lot of the symptoms can actually be caused by hyperthyroidism and she sees some other issues that may indicate that. But she literally spent like 20 minutes with her and was like "yup, high functioning but likely autistic." I guess if the thyroid thing comes back negative, we do some kind of screen, I have no idea.
I've read about parents of autistic kids, and if she is then we're really lucky because I realize it could be pretty bad. She's a more or less normal kid, just had a speech delay and her emotions are pretty extreme.
Could just be speech delay... high emotions are just kids.Honestly, it's weird, because I'm not concerned for her. She makes friends at school, is super affectionate and friendly, she's smart, really I just don't have a clear idea of what this means for her. I worry of course, that's what we do right, but the whole thing is confusing. At least with my other daughter there was an obvious problem, this time it isn't like that.
Maybe its very mild compared to like rainman autism, and they'll just advise new coping strategies for you guys and for her. If you're dealing with her ok right now after the ADD meds, then it's not like anything is going to get worse now that she has a diagnosis.Honestly, it's weird, because I'm not concerned for her.
