Just got my daughter evaluated

I just got my daughter evaluated and results came back. I always thought I knew what it is and I am strong, an evaluation doesn’t change anything between me and my daughter . But still reading the report that she is on spectrum just made me cry today.

No need to cry. There’s nothing different besides her being special! I knew something was off with my son when he turned 2. He finally got Diagnosed at 5. I was Excited (not saying that I wanted him to have autism) but because I finally got my answers and I know how special my son is ☺️🥰 trust me, Kids with autism is not “stupid” or “dumb”. They are VERY INTELLIGENT kids! Trust me when I tell you.

Dont cry. My daughter is level 1 autistic and ADHD. She is wonderful and has grown friends and gets good grades and is helpful around the house. It's not a bad thing. My daughter does get hyperfixated on things and she talks a lot and trusts people to easily but overall she is a good kid.

Being really ill

I’m 36 weeks and I’ve been feeling shocked ill recently and I’ve been told that it could be a sign of my body getting ready for labor but I’m unsure if anyone who’s had a similar experience at all could give me some advice that would be great

Anyone Else in Their Third Trimester? 👶

Lately I've been balancing baby prep, everyday life, and trying to remember to slow down and rest. Some days I feel super productive, and other days I just want a nap. 😂
What's been your biggest challenge or favorite part of the third trimester?

How to survive the first trimester

Hi everyone,

I’m pregnant (only 7 weeks but feeling it big time) and I work in a hospital. My job is quite physically and mentally demanding. I have a toddler at home with very limited support network.

Everyday, I feel extremely exhausted. And it’s killed my appetite as every time I think of food, I feel nauseous. Even when I’m not thinking about food, I’m nauseous. I haven’t thrown up so far but I feel sick all the time.

How did people survive their first trimester? I’m thinking of taking annual leave but I don’t have much left. I can’t call in sick because I feel like my employer will just fire me.
