I teach preschool children with special needs in an inclusive classroom. Usually I have 2 or 3 children with autism in my class. It really is exhausting! But so rewarding!

I've taught general ed (math, English and Science), E.D, MIMD and my fav, MOMD. I've been very fortunate to experience a broad spectrum of kids, but my heart is with my autistic babies. They are tough little nuts to crack, but once you do, it's magical.

His teachers will send him home exhausted' date=' mentally and physically! That will be a great thing for you.[/quote']

right now he's sending them home exhausted lol Bryson is my special Baby got work In the a.m. it was Nice chatting and at the end of it all thanks for understanding goodnight lipstick Lady I should be called eyeshadow Lady

When I have a hard time reading a post due to "text talk", run on sentences with no punctuation, poor spelling, etc., I skip them. That's the ex-teacher in me, I guess! I don't even let my kids use text talk when texting. Ha! :D

Smh = shaking my head. I do know that one!

Lol, I'm such a dufus! I totally thought smh meant smashing my head.

Cliques? Well I've never met or talked to or seen (as far as I know) anyone here, but I do look to the wisdom of those (1) longer out and (2) successful at weight loss and maintainence. I think these are some "Consistent Realities" from them:

-- as bad as your post op situation is, it Will get better

-- follow your plan

-- when something sounds unusual or "bad", check with your doctor,

-- follow your plan,

-- after your sleeve is "for life", there will be changes in your relationship to food, water, vitamins, and activity, and,

-- follow your plan

well if u can't understand it I'm sorry every word spelt correctly So Whts the problem really instead being funny like she said if she don't understand bypass smh

... Huh? This one confused me.

I only learned the lingo because my kids are 13 and 15 and I wanted to know what their friends were saying on FB. (Yes' date=' I make mine use proper English on FB and Instagram, too.)

To add to that, my mother started using text talk with no idea what she's saying, so I have to stop her antics![/quote']

The fact you teach your kids to use proper English on FB tickles me pink! Love it! More parents should do this!!

I must say that this site have literally been to me what my own best friend couldn't do. I love my sleeve. I found this forum. and people to be greatly supportive.

To the Vets thank you. You were there for me I hope to pass it on.

I never experienced that feeling u talk about. Weird.

I find this forum to be tremendously helpful and supportive, and have felt that way from my pre- to post-op phase. We do not always agree with a response but for the most part it is meant to be helpful and to give you advise as someone who has experienced things. Sometimes you get a sympathetic ear and sometimes you get tough love. You'll need to take the advice that is applicable to you. The main thing is to follow the plan which has been laid out for you by you nut and surgeon and to stick with it. Good luck to you.
