- My 5 year old has started asking “why are there no small potties here” anytime we go to a public restroom and its got me noticing how inaccessible so much of the public space is for children.
- After two days of refusing to go to the beach,the night before we leave, my 3 yr old wordlessly walked off the property, across the street, & onto the beach. I followed. She stopped at the shore, gazed at the ocean, then quietly said “ok I go back now” & turned & went back inside
- One thing I’ve learned while interviewing autistic adults is the reason why some autistic kids grow up to seem “less autistic” is bc as adults they have more autonomy over their environment & modify it to be more accommodating. This leads to better regulation. 🧵
- What is a random piece of micro-advice your parents gave you? Not advice on big or significant things, but nevertheless something you’ll never forget. My mom used to say “One dog is a pet. Two dogs is dogs.”

- In search of a hot bedtime beverage that isnt coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Does this exist?
- Replying to @KCDavisSaysI recently moved to a suburb. We spent the am at a public pool that had a shallow kid’s pool & went to lunch at a place with a playground. Kids all around. They are stimulated enough to not act nuts. I have enough space to be regulated, patient & engaged. This is GOOD for society
- Replying to @KCDavisSaysYet even these places don’t have small potties or sinks low enough for them to wash their hands.
- If you are a parent of little kids I cannot recommend enough having an ER go-bag. The first few times I found myself in the ER w/ a sick kid I didn’t have anything but the shirt on my back & a purse and realized just how awful it is. Here is what I suggest: 🧵
- Replying to @anatomkamuyIn her experience having one dog means you get a human-dog bond dynamic and having more than one dog suddenly gives you a dog-dog pack dynamic to manage.
