Who is it? Can’t figure it out at all. Guess people told her to get a grip and pay her rent and not buy dresses then?

She asks what everyone has got most weeks, and someone has done a rhyming version of her name a couple of posts above. I feel sorry for her, doesn't sound like she has anyone in her life to suggest to her this isn't the best way to go

I've the (Elfin?) red velvet dress from last year. Legit would've bought the same in a different colour but this year's offering the wrap neck is a midi length (I know they're cooler but I find midi length so frumpy) and the rest had round necks like a four year old would wear. So it's a hard no from me.

Get it altered to standard length? That's what I do - the wrap midis are the most flattering style for me but I won't wear midis for the same reason as you!

Found her and yeah, I feel bad for her too. Definitely the type of person that gets sucked in to FOMO hype. It’s kinda sickening how much she has spent when she clearly can’t afford it.

The squishmallow post…. AITA to say that even if your kid is autistic you can tell them no?!

bluntly when they use terms like “neurospict” I don’t even belive they’re truly autistic just a victim of being spoiled by bad parenting

AITA to say yeh you are a bit. I wish my daughters meltdowns were caused by me being a tit parent cos then I could just take some parenting classes and life would be a hell of a lot easier. It may look like spoiling them but when life is so hard for them, they cry every day going to school and can’t take part in all the extra clubs their friends do then a small cuddly toy they want does become quite important.

I don't think you're an asshole, but I do think you mustn't have any experience of parenting an autistic child or what being autistic is like. Yes, we can and do tell them no. In fact, the whole world tells them no a whole lot. There is so much they are excluded from. So from time to time they develop these hyperfixations - and Squishmallows are actually brilliant as a sensory toy for regulating emotions and preventing meltdowns. As a parent you (I) feel so completely helpless at how to make my child's life more carefree and fun like all the other children their age that I do tend to try and move mountains when they have a hyperfixation because 'ordinary' parenting tricks often don't work with Autistic kids. And it's no badness or ill behaviour on the child's part -- it's the way their brains are wired to experience things more intensely than neurotypicals.

Also re: neurospicy - I use this term at times with my child, and with myself as I'm ADHD and also likely Autistic too. It's mostly when we try to talk about big feelings or experiences and this keeps it, I don't know, less medicalised? Anyway, it's a descriptor that started off in, and is accepted by the Autistic community. If you choose to equate autism to bad parenting/ spoiled kids then maybe it's time to educate yourself a bit more?
