Glasses. Dry eye made contacts awful no matter what the water content was

very interesting to read everyone’s opinion. I’m adult diagnosed AuDHD. I think I’m ok with viewing it as a disability. This is mainly because honestly I thought I was just a terrible person and really bad at functioning in society despite holding down a full time job/getting good grades etc. I was absolutely horrible to myself in my head.

Learning that I’m AuDHD has allowed me to understand my difference and yes disability and to be far kinder to myself

The search function on the apple mail app on phone is absolutely dreadful. I always have to go to gmail to search again. Otherwise I’d be happy to jump

Same experience. Jumped when Apollo stopped working and haven’t looked back

I like bandido a lot. Very very simple

Another staple increasing. But this one is a massive issue for families in poverty who rely on it

Absolute nut job

Mine both decided that the best way to learn to get out of their cot was to get their hips up against the side, all pressure on their arms and then tip forward headfirst onto the floor. In both cases a mad scramble for a toddler bed and teaching them to stay in their bed at <2 (a hopeless cause resulting in soft floors and a tall stair gate on the door) resulted

By three in both cases they were in full size singles for different reasons and so far there they stay (8 and 4 currently)

 

Some days you worry about whether you are doing the right thing as a parent. You second guess yourself all the time. My son went to a gaelscoil (school through Irish, it’s not our main language at home). I have second guessed myself about choosing that route, about the age he started etc. As the diagnoses (Autism/ADHD) first rolled in at age 7 when the anxiety hit the roof I questioned and debated again whether I made the right calls. The following year the dyslexia diagnosis came in and I properly panicked to have him in a dual language school. But ultimately their support is great. And we couldn’t get him in anywhere else local. And we worried about moving him from his friends as making them is very hard for him

Two years ago we could not discuss emotions with him. He’s been in play therapy and psychology and has settled completely into himself. But still will not discuss emotions or feelings with us or others. He’s always ‘bad’ or ‘doesn’t know’.

Other days however you can take the win, recognise it and bask in the realisation that right now? Right now his school are doing AMAZING!

Last February they asked could they put him in a small group social support group as they felt he was ready. He came home today with a scrap book full of photos and pictures and writing (writing is a massive problem for him!) describing himself in a positive light, describing emotions, listing out his worries…. NGL I cried. This is just so amazing to see and I can’t believe they managed to get this all out of him

Today is a good day
