If my particular circle of acquaintances is any gauge of humanity, I think most people are "on the spectrum".
I don't think anyone can (or should) extrapolate from their circle of acquaintances to all of humanity. Most people are not on the spectrum, or else the autism spectrum would be considered neurotypical.
ltc is miserable and won't stop tantruming today. I have no idea what to do with her.
Oh dear, sj. Distraction? Something you don't usually do? Another room? Plastics on the floor in the kitchen?
Everyone talks about terrible twos, but I always found the parenting thing easier after the kids were two because they were more verbal and it was easier to negotiate.
I ended up putting her in the play yard because she was overstimulated and wouldn't calm down. That helped a bit followed by early lunch and early nap. Hopefully she'll be better when she wakes up.
33/50, higher than expected, but not unexpected, if you know what I mean.
Here's hoping ltc is her sweet self again after her nap.
I'm hoping this is just a stage but every no, regardless of tone of voice leads to a meltdown. And when she gets super excited about something like she did about watching TCG use the snow plow this morning, she can't seem to calm herself down and doesn't want hugs or snuggles.
Wow, y'all are all very high scoring.
I suspected I was on the spectrum; interesting to see it confirmed.
