| Thank you all for the welcomes. Maybe we should start a thread elsewhere to discuss some of this. Glad I'm not the only one in this (crappy) situation. |

| I don't usually have trouble inviting people over, I prefer to control the space when I interact. It just makes it easier and less stressful for me. But most of the time I'm secretly praying please say no please say no because I normally only invite people over due to social convention. |

| How old is your baby? frequently being inconsolable or irritable sounds a bit like teething. It helps me to make a list of things and go down the list checking diaper, thirst, hunger, boredom, too hot/cold etc etc. I relied on Dr Sear's Baby Book for my first 2 babies, til they were able to talk to ... |

| I don't have diagnosis but ever since sharing what the doctor suggested (getting tested for ASD) with my husband, he did some reading and now when I do things he will point out whenever I do something he thinks fits the profile. It's really annoying. |
