They say parenting comes with no guidebook, and that’s true…but OTOH, maybe common sense isn’t so common either.

I’m not here to judge anyone: I have two ASD kids and am ASD myself. That shit is hard.

One of the good things I did as a parent is enrolled my kids in a year of Montessori based pre-school. They teach the kids to clean, cook, use keys, use locks, look at people when talking, put beads on a string, brush teeth and hair, make cups of tea, use scissors etc. I know Montessori is seen as a sort of hippy-dippy thing but my experience has been the exact opposite. Don’t get me wrong, I still had to take my eldest to Speech Pathology but they (the school) laid a good foundation.

One thing to mention that might help you: ASD kids have whack bodily perception. They literally have to be taught that “feeling full bladder” = “need to go pee”. It seems insane but they just don’t…notice it, until too late.

Lot’s weird little body quirks like this.

Anyway, good luck to you. I always think to myself “be kind; everyone one fucked up one way or another”

So what you’re saying is…chicken attack?
