@veena.nathan: Some days are perfect.. bedtime routine and he’s down at 7pm and asleep by 8pm and I’m able to do my unwinding and other dayssss it’s like thisssss 🫠 #autismmom #neurodivergent #nonverbal
Yeah so autism doesn’t mean ‘let them do what they want’. You should’ve said no to the food, in the first place. But anyway, afterwards you should’ve told him ‘either you sit down and eat this food without any breaks or interruptions, or I’m gonna sssume that you’re done eating, and remove it’.

He goes to bed hungry and will eat more tomorrow. Hope this helps, from a fellow autistic.

Comments are weird . My son’s not autistic and if he wakes up and says he’s hungry guess what ? I’m feeding him.

Why do parents seem to think autistic kids are incapable of hearing the word “no”

Stepha :
Im sorry. I would never let my kid be hungry, even if it’s in the middle of the night. Would I be annoyed? YES. But I don’t get these comments.

From a fellow autistic my parents didn’t get up to feed us and we survived, I mean I did sudoku or math until 4am but like we were fine you need boundaries and routine for them not to cave at their every need

"say no?" its just ramen and there's like 12 hrs until breakfast..did you want her to go "you can't eat" and him to have a mental breakdown as a result?

Some days are perfect and some days are 9pm ramen negotiations, that is the honest truth of parenting

I understand mama! And as for these comments…. Yes you can say no, but why would you deny your hungry child food?

People truly don’t understand children. If you were hungry still at 9pm, you would go get something to eat. Why are children not shown the same??

God these comments would hate to know that my father would wake up at 2am to make me dinner after work and let me cry. I’m also autistic and hated my job because my manager was really bad. (She ended up getting fired)
