Scientists of Reddit - do you believe consciousness exists after death, is there any recent new studies on this?
Spiritualists, what’s your opinion too

Does anybody else feel like sometimes they can see the famous “light at the end of the tunnel” sometimes when they dream? I often do and I wake myself up from it, but I’ve been listening to a lot of NDE lately who all describe this as an actual thing

Has anybody ever been none verbal autistic growing up (especially level 3)? What was your reasoning for not talking?

My partner and I have been together for 3.5 years. I have an 8-year-old daughter from a previous relationship who has level 3 autism and significant intellectual disabilities. We also have a 2-year-old daughter together.
As my eldest has got older and entered puberty, her behaviours have become much more challenging. She can lash out, hit herself and occasionally hit others. Recently she hit her younger sister.
I am actively seeking support. I’ve reduced my work hours, attend appointments, chase professionals, implement safety strategies and often have to supervise or separate the children to keep everyone safe.
My partner believes I should consider residential care for my eldest daughter. He feels our younger daughter’s safety should come first. I agree safety is important, but I also feel my eldest daughter is a vulnerable disabled child who needs support rather than punishment.
One of our biggest disagreements is that my partner believes stricter discipline would improve the situation, whereas I feel many of these behaviours are linked to her autism and intellectual disability.
Parents of children with high support needs, or professionals who work in this area, what would your perspective be? How do you balance the needs and safety of all children in the family when one child has significant disabilities and challenging behaviour?
