huh... my wife deeply offended my parents one time by remarking that I'm a totally different person and not "lit up" around them... I don't think I ever lit up until I met her 💜

My mom always says my 1st grade teacher crushed my spirit and I was never the same. I didn’t realize this was a thing. 😢

Yeah I’m a behavior tech and my kid is just super happy and smiley, just always happy to be here. And I’m scared because he’s going to school, and it’s a sketchy public school

Mom of a 28 yr old, level 3 ASD son. If I could do it over again, no public school & VERY limited "therapy". I'd focus on life skills, sensory regulation and exploring life

I begged to be homeschooled. I never was. I’ve struggled till I was 40. Then my light started coming back after divorce. I do lots to heal my inner child. Like we went to build a bear because I always

I remember one year before third grade(?) started my parents asked if I was excited for school. I shrugged and said I guess, when all the previous years I had actually been excited to go.—

This explains so much about my family. 1st grade I was puking every Friday because everything was just too much. When my oldest was in first grade we started seeing it and pulled him to homeschool. My

My light came back briefly in college but my parents also paid for me and I didn’t have a job so 100% of life was fun. I loved learning and got to choose my friends. When I graduated it was worse than

🩵The Tales of a Bookish Mom🩵 :
My kid is adhd and we struggle with this too but he’s VERY social and cannot be away from peers or it kills him. So he wants the school friends but not school. It’s heartbreaking to not know how to best serve him.

I'm so glad my kid's school district is so good at accomodations. They have a small sensory room the autistic kids can go to when they're getting overwhelmed!

My mom talks about how I stopped crying at five. She remembers that one day I cried all the time (I processed with tears) to nothing. At 45, I’m learning to cry again, and I feel lighter inside.
