Kid (9) is having an #autistic #shutdown . They went to an event with 400 kids and it was loud and people pushed and then he came home and we needed to do Halloween costume stuff, and they still had homework... aand that was too much.
So I cancelled homework, dimmed the lights, and told them to lie down on the couch with blahaj and a blanket until they felt better.
I *wish* someone had taught me what it was that made *me* feel this way when I was little. #actuallyautistic #parenting
