How’s everyone doing?

I’m ND and struggling a lot with my adhd I believe due to being so stressed. I’m so disorganized and it’s beyond frustrating and makes me want to throw a fit!

So what's your take on an OT? How do you find the service and your child's OT? Iv had one now close to 2 yrs And now I'm extremely unhappy with the service Some times im so pissed it feels like expensive play Because it is extremely expensive and they only really "play together " I know children learn by play and visual is better than listening And my son has come along away in 2 yrs But I feel like my OT has closed off ,stopped talking ,stop emails Iv asked for him to write up something for the teachers to follow just a bit of guidance in how to handle him .he has adhd there for ,don't get me started on 2024 shitshow that it was the teachers where bullies as they didn't understand him,last year was better but there were still concerns about things and the teachers kept asking for help regarding body movement and fidgeting they kept asking for something to keep his hands busy ,eventually we found putty He has meant to of visited the school in the last year and a half (2024 /2025) But he has not done this He was meant to go LAST YR but kept sayn bullshit about "scheduling " and the teachers and him cldnt " find a time to meet Instead of being honest telling ME THE MOTHER I dont think its nessarey to attend the school be straight with me( im so pissed) I find out an apt time has been made to visit the school then at the last minute he contacts the school ( 10 mins before end of day) I get a very pissed off email first thing next morning from the school saying wtf is going on,I also get an email that morning sayn he won't be coming

And im like wtf As this was all set in place

Then so this didn't happen A call was set in place( which I was fkn billed for!) I spoke with My sons teacher yesterday who said " he seemed quite young and was un interested IN THE CALL! He came off like he was in a shit Aka being forced to do it Im so mad as this is to help the progress of my son in school so pattern's are not repeated ( which they have been)

Now I'm like what shld I do? What wld u do? Change providers ..... Find a different form of help.... Im at a loss I haven't been happy with him ( OT) for a good few months And im sick of the bullshit

Help

My daughter is 3 years old and diagnosed level 3 autistic and suspected adhd, lately she's been destroying the house for sensory enjoyment and with me being in my first trimester and her not sleeping I'm exhausted and finding it absolutely impossible to clean up after her constantly. Today she even flipped her nightstand and jumped on it till it broke so she could sit in it 😪 what are some things you have given your toddlers for sensory input? I have sensory toys and stones and also have little boxes and such that she does love to sit in but I'm finding i just don't know what to do anymore as she isn't entertained in a whole lot.

Hi all!

Im a single mom from Florida with a profoundly autistic little boy. He is 6, nonverbal, has severe food aversion among other things. But he is also brilliant, funny, sweet, loving and has the biggest blue eyes I've ever seen. I have 100% legal and physical custody. He is my earth-angel and best friend. He has taught me more than I have taught him. Its not a life for the weak, but its surely gratifying. Thanks for having me!
