C was officially diagnosed with #autism last week. Of all of her symptoms, the most difficult to deal with are her #pda and her meltdowns. These both bother me because they are harmful to our kids. For example, she currently has thrush on her nipples and is breastfeeding. Her pda means that she often misses her nipple medication, and so baby has had thrush in her mouth for the whole of her 4 months since birth. The screaming meltdowns triggered by boisterous kids are equally harmful. #asd
