I think as mainstream porn has become more extreme more people are viewing it as harmful.

My library also has Hoopla, maybe yours does as well?
I have high-functioning autism and a child on the spectrum. Parenting is difficult enough without adding in extra complications. However, the fact that you have an understanding of your shortcomings and are working to remedy them puts you ahead of many parents already.
It sounds like you are both going to need to work on interactions. That’s OK, you may just need some extra help and patience. Parenting is a learning process for both the parent and the child.
Here’s something that has worked for me and my son. We would take walks outside in different natural surroundings and point out things we find. If I found a mushroom I would point it out and talk about it. If he found an insect he would get excited and show it to me. A very low pressure environment that gets people talking and learning.
I would also be honest with his therapists about your autism. You may benefit from joint sessions with him and sessions alone with your own therapist. It is important to find the right therapists who are willing to help both of you without judgment. If one is not working out, don’t be afraid to move to another.
I am in the middle of fracking country. I can’t go to certain parks because the chemical smell the wells give off makes me lightheaded. One of the workers I met said they also use copious amounts of biocides to keep the wells clear of growth.
Lol, so accurate.
Oh dear God. Kids don’t need “nifty gadgets” to learn, they need an authentic learning community and a reason to care.
Everyone would share the yacht? Like a timeshare.
Damn it. My shop has used Shopify for years. One reason I chose it was the excellent customer service and help I received as a new small business owner.
Greedy people at the top of companies are always trying to squeeze more money out of their operation, to the detriment of everyone.
Perhaps employees should co-own the companies they work for so they can be part of the decision-making process.
It’s called DishBrain, a silly name for something terrifying…
My high-functioning son is 10 and and I would like your daughter to know it can get better. Keeping calm is a skill you can develop with time and patience.
Being outside away from people and in nature seems to help calm my son quite a bit. He is learning to be less triggered but sometimes he just needs time away until he can collect himself. Pets and stuffed animals seem to help him, too.
Pen and paper pad? Look serious like you are taking notes but you are doodling dinosaur battles.
I had neurosurgery to correct brain stem compression. I regained the ability to walk without weakness and tremors and to function in general.
I had to fight my insurance company for months because they denied my first surgery due to their perceived lack of “medical necessity.”
