| Welcome! My dx came very similar. I finally realized I'm not broken and neither is my kiddo. PM if you'd like to chat. My asd kids are 27, 21 & undiagnosed but definitely neuro divergent 11yo. I'm new here, a autistic father to a autistic son. My DX came a year after his. So much explained about... |

| Many kids don't talk at 2. The fact that he babbles is kind of practicing. The kids of mine who didn't really talk yet by 2 did need speech therapy later. The speech therapy was for vocabulary to help them find the words they needed. My son is 2 years and four months old. I’m on the spectrum, but I ... |

| If it is so miserable, maybe you can start looking for a better option. I have found another job before and when Ihave the final thumbs up I turn in my notice in writing so as to not burn any bridges in the process. I'm still haunted by an awful one I had years ago, December 12, 2012. I'm shocked I ... |

| I also find ensuring my home environment is harmonious and calming is a big part in handling stress! I tend to manage to hold it in till I get out to the car and poor husband helps me through the meltdown. Just learned this year what that was. Trying to keep a good home environment if at all possibl... |

| I completely agree with you about such a harsh punishment. Maybe you can agree on a time limit or find a different consequence for him yelling at you. At 5 years old, I feel like maybe an extra chore would be more age appropriate and more closely related to the crime. I'm ASD and also have a neuro d... |

| I've had pleanty of melt downs at work. I have been extremely fortunate to not be fired because of one or two of them. Generally I go to my car or go for a walk when I feel it all building up to an unmanageable level. I came across a FB post about meltdowns and even just thinking about it almost tri... |

| I'm in my mid 40's and have experienced different circles and clicks through the years, trying relentlessly to 'fit in' but here's the thing, I'm who I am and don't give a rat's a$$ to be part of their mold any longer. Mostly I was welcomed in crowds that drink a lot which I don't find stimulating a... |

A couple of adults on the autism spectrum came up to me recently to see what existed out there for adults and young adults on the autism spectrum with regard to penpal sites. I am in the conceptual phase of creating a website that is geared towar... |

| I have just downloaded a decibel meter. I hope it helps me lower my voice as I have the same issue. Thank you!! ! This thread makes me wonder if there may be technology that can be adapted to help. Like some sort of portable, or wearable, decibel meter that can provide visual feedback (like a kanban... |

| Good to know:) It is, I'm sorry :( I'm hoping to design a better measure for autistic people, but it means I have to ask everything possible in this first study :( You can close it down and come back to it if you like. It saves your session for two weeks. You just have to make sure you come back to ... |

| From reading your post it sounds like you are both trying to force the other to be different. You cannot change each other. He will never be able to change or accept your need for space and you'll never be able to accept his desire for drinking. My advice is to part ways, and when you start dating a... |

| I have the same issue and am much older than you are. My hubs is a very calm person (exactly opposite that me, lol) He doesn't care what other people think, so when I get loud (particularly when I get excited about something) He just quietly asks me to lower my voice. He understands it is something ... |

| Thanks, it was a fun project:) My grand daughter asked for a matching hat for her monkey doll, so I made her a mini of the pink hat. I like it because it gives me solitude and keeps me busy at the same time. When your in public, you can crochet and nobody bothers you. So cute and creative! :D Looks ... |
