@HaltonPolice The distance between the shooting and my child's school is exactly 1.2km - why were NONE of the schools within WALKING DISTANCE put into lockdown if the police had not apprehended the shooter?? I find this very unsettling as a parent :(
I'm tired of hearing the same arguments that ABA therapists use over and over again, so I wrote a new post that breaks them down here:

@thinkingautism We have exhausted pharmaceuticals. She does not like the feeling of being on them and has had too many unpleasant side effects. She is also currently in therapy to help her with her emotion regulation skills. Looking at CBD as a possibility to help her.
@thinkingautism Looking to help my 10yo w/ her severe anxiety, the sometimes resulting self injury, and her ability to focus (ADHD). I'm not looking for the benefits to me as a parent, I'm looking to help make it easier for HER to live & function inside HER body.
@isntJen I am at the other end of the autistic food spectrum - tortilla chips must be eaten plain and untouched by salsa. Have never been able to tolerate the texture of salsa.. icky! 😝
Understanding the impact of our childhood isn’t about blaming our parents. It’s about understanding ourselves and freeing ourselves from cycles of generational trauma. We cannot change what don’t acknowledge. Awareness heals.
As soon as I wake every morning, I remind myself that all human beings are the same as me—we all want to be happy. I resolve to use my life to ensure that other beings are happy. It’s compassion that brings about peace of mind, not anger and hatred.
@NeuroRebel It depends whether the statement is accompanied with a valid reason explaining why it might not be a good idea to do that thing. If I am being told no for the sake of saying no I tend to find that intriguing, but I can totally respect when I am told why & given valid reasoning 🙂
