"GOOD MORNING!" shouted needlessly alert morning man.

I want needlessly listless night woman back but the creatures musta gotten her, like really go be alert somewhere else but he can't cause there are creatures somewhere else so he's gonna bother me every morning cause he prefers my company over creature company.

Homeschooling autistic kids.

I'm new here. Going to start homeschooling in the fall.

My child has reached the absolute end of his rope. Deep in autistic burnout. Trauma from bullying, trauma even from sitting still all day.

Supposed to be starting 7th grade next year, but we have decided to instead homeschool and reregulate and recover from the chaos and bad lighting. Younger sibling should be starting 1st grade, but also has autism and also struggled to the max with the school setting. We also have an autistic toddler and are autistic parents. The autism isn't the issue, the demands of school and lack of support and resources in the school though is very disturbing.

We were spending school days 3pm-9pm recovering from school, 9-12 trying to relax and noticing they are both starving, and 12-7 sleeping, only to wake up and suffer and recover all day again.

Theyre both able to hold it together during class and are both smart and not disruptive, so the school told us they don't need any help and refused to get them IEPs despite the Dr's highly advising it and both being level 2 and also having ADHD and one of them epilepsy. I guess only the kids with severe behavior problems get resources these days (and they get their behaviors addressed but not the need causing the behavior so those kids aren't having needs met either) but anyway

They have no energy left for anything they want to do. No extracurriculars or anything, they're too tired from regulating all day at school.

Anyone else homeschooling due to autism, I'd love to hear what resources or groups have helped you.

I really think this is what we need to get out of the hell cycle. 7th grader can't focus on anything academic because of the school setting. I think he's way way behind, but he gets good grades cause pattern recognition and school being set up for all kids to pass.

I think this is incoherent but I'm not going to go back and proofread it right now due to myself being burnt out. It was their last day of school. 1st grader couldn't stop crying cause she wanted her teacher for next year because change is so much drama.

We do have a great library nearby that has monthly homeschooler events and I'll check out the local groups, but I know my reason for homeschooling must be common and wanted to see if anyone knew of extra autism friendly resources or parent forums I could check out.

Thank you!! Stay hydrated you guys.

Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow.

But it wasn't Mary, it was Terry, and it wasn't a little lamb, it was a hairy wet clam, and it didn't have white snowy fleece, only bad intentions and nothing left to lose.

The doctor told me to manage my stress by simply not being stressed anymore because "stress is a choice."

The tigers I was stressed about *by choice* have found me once again, because I trusted that Dr enough to let my guard down, and also that was dr who which was an aggravating turn of events cause his fans stress me out by choice.

The scary man was chasing me, so I ran into and slammed a closet door so he would surely know where I was hiding and where there was no chance of escape and I was prepared to be victimized, victimly.

But I'm a ghost, so he opened the door, yet never found me, and I got all aroused for no reason.

I don't owe my mother anything. For Mother's Day, or Ever. Giving birth to someone isn't worthy of the worship she expects.

I don't have to get her a gift and I don't have to respect her.

She never cared about me, but suddenly on mother's day I owe her brunch?

No. I don't care.

I'll understand when I have kids of my own?

I do now I and understand her less and less every day.

How could you treat your own child like that?
