Generally autism would have signs from a very young age. It might be subtle, but they are there.
Ex: not calming easily as a baby, eye contact might not be great even if present etc. Parents will often have an uncomfortable feeling even if they can't put a finger on it. And then either the child won't start speaking, won't learn new skills and will get evaluated, or the child will learn to speak and the social deficits will become more pronounced once they enter school.
This all applies to children who actually have autism.

There are some children that are developing beautifully all around and then suddenly there is a concern that seemed to have come out of nowhere. For example the child stopped saying words they were previously able to say, stopped playing with toys functionally and instead will hyperfocus on parts of the toy, maybe the child will suddenly start having lots of tantrums.
These kids might get a diagnosis of autism when in reality it might not be autism at all.

Please share more. So if a kid shows big tantrums, gets an asd diagnosis because they are a perfectionist, don’t like when change happens, and have a tough time emotionally regulating what do we do with that child? What does that mean then? Thank u so much!

I'm a seit and my tips for child development are:
Read to your children every night.
Take them on errands with you.

The experiences and literacy skills you can get from those two are so important for nurturing young minds.

Any other SEIT tips? Considering the field

Pediatric hospital social worker:
Honesty is the best policy. If your baby or child has a skull fracture and is being worked up for non accidental trauma, best to tell us what actually happened even if that is that your 2 year old dripped her or she fell off the bed. Making up stories or being deliberately vague and evasive is what has us concerned that there are other things you’re hiding and reports are most often made when the narrative doesn’t match the injury.

I'm a product designer (design apps and websites).
Not all websites are designed with your phone in mind. If you're having a hard time viewing a website on your phone go to the top right corner- click the more button (3 dots) and check off the box that says "desktop site"- it will show the desktop version of that site. Pinch to zoom in if it appears too zoomed out at first.

I’m a nurse. Eating less than 9grams a day of sugar can really help keep inflammation in check and help you prevent issues down the line. Speak to your kids, starting when they are young, about the damage smoking can do to one’s body (doesn’t always help but worth a try).

9 grams wow! That's literally nothing! Do you eat like that

Why wouldn’t you use face moisturizer with SPF?

Based on what I've read the amount of spf in mixed products is very low coverage. You'd need to slather an incredibly thick layer or product to get the same result of using spf plain. Cheaper to buy spf.

Albuterol doesn’t take care of every problem with breathing- ie congestion. Visualize a parking garage -when you are congested every parking space is full and the albuterol can not park and do it’s thing
For geriatric patients: if you are told not to give the patient to drink then lmaan Hashem please don’t.

Thank you. It made me crazy when I couldn’t get Albuterol for my Asthmatic child because ppl were getting albuterol for every cough/sniffles

Preschool morah-please be careful what you say or do in front of your kids, they're not babies anymore-they can talk about what they see or hear and I hear so much TMI, I can barely look at some parents by PTA embarrassed

My child's morah just told me something that sounds totally legit (and embarassing) but is completely NOT true. child said it over very nonchalantly and morah oddly repeated it back to me. but BH for that. this is not the first time my child's imagination went wild.

I work in case management for the elderly:

PLEASE buy a long term care policy for yourself when you are young and healthy.
PLEASE save a LOT of money for your later years. Paying for any kind of help costs a fortune.
PLEASE do not assume the government will pay for your care when you get older. Unless you are on Medicaid (very low income), the government will do close to nothing for you.

SAVE, SAVE, SAVE. And then save.

Morah, morah, last night I went to the bathroom and my mommy was in the shower and daddy was in the shower too!

I had to get the principal involved recently, I knew there was more to the story and it turns out her sibling has seizures. The fear from my confused four year old storyteller heavily embellished her tale.

Also forgot to write this before
Mixed products generally only go to spf 15
30 if you’re lucky
I know they say past a certain # it’s all the same but idk what that # is (I believe 45/50)
But I’m happy with my 60
And yea loves Hashem is right you’d need significantly more of the product for optimal sun protection because it’s diluted

It can be
Most products aren’t though
Also maybe it’s silly but I do think there’s something to using a product in a purer form
Like just sunscreen and just foundation, vs the two mixed
(Even though most foundations have spf I think)

Graphic design:
The more edits you request, the worse your final design will look. One revision is ok, that’s all.
You don’t know what text size should be used, I do. That’s why you hired me.
If you insist on a specific idea, please don’t come back to me with taines after you show the final result (that I hate but you love) to your family, friends, and coworkers.
Ok this is turning into a rant… signing off Very Happy
