I would definitely try to keep him away from the baby

Are those laughing emoji I hope not cause it’s not funny at all I hope he got hit or something he’s to damn big to be doing that

Aw poor thing. Definitely try to monitor for signs of concussion (definitely not likely but still watch) if he’s super sleep his pupils aren’t the right size or if he’s unresponsive!! Also if it hit the side of the head he’s most likely fine but the soft spot is most important! If your 8 year old is getting overstimulated by the baby definitely try to find a quiet place to take the older child to calm down so this doesn’t happen again!!

@pebbles you hope he got hit ???? Girl don’t bring your negativity and judgement over here. This is def not the place to do it. If physical punishment is your way to do it, keep it to yourself and let people parent their kids in their own way. The kid is literally 8 and is learning the right and wrong ways to react to situations and how to manage it, I’m 100% there’s no ill intent.If you have nothing helpful or nice to say don’t say it.

@María so at 8 he don’t no not to hit girl bye he’s going to walk all over you n I feel sorry for that baby

Instead of being on her take ur baby to the hospital to check on them

An autistic child does not have the same cognition as other children. Wild that you would tell someone to hit an autistic kid. Incognito clearly stated her eldest child has autism. Do you know what autism is?

We gotta take in mind this is a big shift emotionally and physical for your 8 yr old. His whole world turned upside down. I would reccomend finding activities you can both involve them in, also I reccomend on nap times when the baby is asleep to spend some time alone w your older child. He’s dealing with big emotions and the most important thing he needs right now is your reassurance, love and support. My sister and I are around the same age and I still deeply remember when she came home and how much it affected my life and my relationship with my parents. He’s acting out because through him being “bad” or acting out he’s learned he has your attention the quickest way. Sending you hugs and love mama, you got this 🩵

@pebbles no it’s crying cause we were all crying

@Leslie was I tlkin to u or the mother

@pebbles you commented on a public forum so people will respond to regardless of who you're talking to

I forgot now n days ppl don’t hit kids in hands or little spank on the booty it’s a crime put me away

@pebbles also hell no he did not get hit if you read he is autistic and he was crying saying he was sorry and didn’t realize it would hurt he doesn’t realize what he’s doing can hurt and it’s hard to explain to him

I’m trying to be nice so suggest y’all go on about ya life

Anyone else cause I can go all day long

I’m Autistic and ADHD (AuADHD 😊). That means that I have a similar brain map as others with the same profile. I’m still unique in my own preferences, likes, dislikes, and sensory perceptions, but I may have more similarities with people who have a similar profile. In the same way, people of a certain country have more in common than others across an ocean. What feels natural for one group may seem rude to another—neither may be incorrect—it’s simply a different culture. Knowing our personal brain map allows us to validate our needs, obtain any necessary accommodations, and be compassionately observant of our inner thoughts. https://www.parents.com/kids/development/adrenarche-and-puberty-everything-you-need-to-know/?#:~:text=If%20your%207%2D%20or%208,your%20child%20handles%20their%20emotions

I was diagnosed at about age 12, but was treated as “less-than” by my parents (especially my mother). Her general thinking was “You’ve been given thorough instructions, why don’t you do -task-?” I was called lazy and rude constantly. I wasn’t. I was a child trying to make sense of my world and doing additional emotional labor for the adults in my life. Discovering neurodivergent-affirming spaces online as an adult drastically improved my mental health. My relationship with my parents is still in tatters because they haven’t. You get to choose. What self-talk do you want your child to have? How you talk about him and his personal needs will echo throughout his life. Relaxed (not forceful) encouragement and affirmations will go a long way. “I’m here.” “What do you think about —?” “This looks ——, let’s try —— together.” “It’s good to listen to your body.” “Take a break when you need to.”
