moments - when your kid has an ear infection diagnosed and you realise that all the cheerful “my ear is all itchy!” statements of the past few days weren’t just out of context repetition of a sentence he heard somewhere else 🤦‍♀️

Another successful shower for the kid. He’s getting more comfortable going under the spray of water and learning how to dry himself. Next time will work on getting him to scrub himself - we worked a little on shampooing but it was hit and miss.

Any parents of autistic children have success going from mouth breathing to in-through-the-nose, out-through-the-mouth breathing? I want my kid to be healthy and use the cilia they are born with as a filtration system.

New milestone: asked the kid to go wash his hands while I cleaned up the playdoh from his table, and he did. First time unsupervised. I poked my head in to just check he was ok, but didn’t interfere. Still putting his pants on backward but he’s just as amused/frustrated by this as I am. I point it out and he is trying to correct it - told him it’s ok, next time. No big deal.

So my son’s thing has been turning on and off lights lately. For example, if I turn the kitchen light on he runs in a turns it off. He keeps turning it off no matter what you try.
Thankfully, with i am able to replace the switches with smart switches to bypass the physical switch.
I have never been overly concerned with making my entire house “smart” but this seems to be a way to maintain my sanity.

When your washing machine breaks & you have to just deal with sensory issues vs sending your kid to school without pants…
…6 loads of laundry later ☹️

can be bloody lonely at times.

Literally today as I sit in a cafe on my own near a local castle where my son is on a field trip. I want him to get involved as much of school life as possible but I need to be nearby in case he melts down.
