Other than drop offs being hard, she is doing SO WELL in school!! As soon as me and Luis leave, she is perfectly okay😭 also visuals won’t work when me and Luis use it on Lu. She does not respond to them if we offer them. They do work very well at school! #schooldropoffs #autismmom #autismacceptance #MomsofTikTok #momtok

Transcript

This drop off definitely has been the hardest. I think Lu is starting to realize that as soon as she plops down on the ground, it's so hard for me to get her up. So usually that's when I call Louise. Now she's getting used to the fact that I'll call Louise. She's okay with getting out of the car, she's okay with walking with me. But then as soon as we get in front of the school, she literally plops down. She sits down, she'll lay down on the sidewalk. There's literally traffic and people everywhere. So I'm sitting there, standing there with my daughter who is laying on the sidewalk, while we're dropping her off. She's really strong. And that's why I feel like people are like, oh, just pick her up. That's hard. It's still hard drop offs. But from what I'm hearing, she is perfectly fine once we leave. Other than drop offs being hard, she is doing SO WELL in school!! As soon as me and Luis leave, she is perfectly okay. Also visuals won't work when me and Luis use it on Lu. She does not respond to them if we offer them. They do work very well at school! #schooldropoffs #autismmom #autismacceptance #MomsofTikTok #momtok
