As I saw this happen I thought that this would be the take but in reality, what’s he going to do? Just stand there and not help pick them up for him?
My take is he’s just helping the elderly as Trump won’t have the mobility to bend down and get them.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. These are really good points as I am not particularly good at fitting in myself. I position it as a super power (no peer pressure) but as you say, to a certain degree your child needs to conform.
I think I probably need to learn to be a parent and support as I have taken the opportunity for my wife being a very good mum to slack off myself
Sorry for the slow reply and thank you.
I’m not even sure at this stage if I can as I understand so little but here goes.
He’s what I perceive to be high functioning. In fact most of what they call out I view as being just a little boy. I’m slightly concerned that this attitude comes from my own childhood and whether we establish that I’m also neuro divergent but am keen that I focus on him and not me.
He’s bright, good with maths as his mum teaches this. Struggles in class as they’re not great at understanding his needs and just see him as wiggly/playing class clown to impress others etc.
He has always had sound sensitivity so people calling that out is interesting to me.
We’re working with the school to get better mechanisms in place to support himvand my wife is already amazing at helping him at home.
In my head I need to get onboard too, and transition away from being the typical authoritarian role that a dad may take. I need to understand better what autism is and how to support him
I’m sorry for the slow response and appreciate how much time you took to put this in writing. As I read it, it almost read like the desiderata for autism:
Thanks so much for this. Also the words of wisdom.
Sorry for the slow reply, I appreciate your response and will certainly take you up on it
In the UK we almost have this in something called NCT (National Childbirth Tr. … ust).
It’s not compulsory and most only do it for their first but you’re kinda so shit scared that most tend to do it.
The knowledge is good but getting a close network of 5 other couples having a baby within a month of each other is invaluable…for the mums, the dad’s are shit at keeping in touch typically lol
Along the same lines…
“I could care less”
It doesn’t even make sense, just stop it America.
Jesus christ guys, can you mark this as a spoiler for those of us that haven’t got round to watching this yet /s
I’m not sure, I think they were worthless (like, beyond respect from your peers which is naturally bs).
I think they also introduced awards which I know cost real money to buy but intriguingly were valueless to the receipient
Going cold turkey. Bizarrely I like lemmy more as there’s less content so I don’t scroll as much.
I nuke my accounts pretty regularly for data security so didnt really have any value in my account (none of this “I had 1500 karma coins” or whatever)
I get it, and if there was one standing next to them I’m sure he would have but your natural instinct when you haven’t been served on your whole life is to help someone in this situation.
I’m not a simp for him or his party but just feel he gets a pass on this one
