On the Spectrum
Hech qachon hech qanaqa vaksina hali autizmni keltirib chiqarishi aniqlanmagan!
Bolalarni emlamaslik hayotiga juda katta xavf tug'diradi. Oddiy ko'rinadigan chechak'lardan ham vaksinasiz nobud bo'lishi mumkin.
Autizmni hali nima keltirib chiqarishini hech kim bilmaydi. Bola autizm bilan tug'iladi, keyinchalik 2-3 yoshga borganda o'zidan o'zi autizm yuqib yoki shakllanib qolmaydi. Qisqasi shu hozircha.
I'm doing fencing this semester. One of the best decisions I have ever made!
Even though I am enjoying reading "A Little Life", this is going to be the first ever book I don't recommend reading to other people. Hard, heavy. @on_spectrum

about my last day at work.
the clinical director came to me, and thanked me truly that i have been independent, reliable, dependable therapist past 3 months, and gave me her business card for future purposes. my eyes got teared up with every kid i was working with during the day. then my friend at the clinic announced that there was going to be a farewell party for me. there were all of the kids with their therapists. and they sang a goodbye song to me. i was truly tearing up, crying. the song was really sad. i gave big hugs to every single kid. my coworkers.
the chief executive officer brought me to her room and did an exit interview. she said, my supervisors and client leads only talked good and positive things about me, and the fact that i am always welcome in the clinic and i will be missed. then i was in our break room. every single coworker of mine came to me personally and wished me all the best. they said, they love me for what i have done, how i have influenced everybody, that i truly am a great therapist in such a short period. i truly made a lot of friends. really good friends.
my friends at work made my last day special.
"please, don't be a stranger"
"oh, you're leaving. it would be really strange not to see you again at work"
"you are a great therapist, please continue"
"i love your energy, your effort and everything you brought to the clinic. i love you as a friend"
"i am glad that i got a chance working with you"
"you are a leader. you are a natural, keep doing what you are doing"
"thank you for your effort you put in building these friendships"
"we will miss you, please stop by every now and then"
"you are still welcome for our board game nights"
"kids will miss you"
"your presence and energy in the clinic made really good changes, thank you"
everybody spoiled me. yeah, the job is hard. mentally, physically, emotionally. but passion always wins. we love our job. we love being a therapist. being the kids' trusted people. because we care. we do. they taught me how i can professionally use my care for children. i am truly grateful for everything they gave me, experience, friendships. supervisors. great team, great people, great children.

Should I write a long-read about being a child therapist for 3 months?
Tomorrow is my last day being a therapist on paper. But I'll always be a therapist, sometimes my own, sometimes my friends' and family's, sometimes Yours)
For the first time a kid called me "mommy"..
I can't describe how it felt. It was such a feeling I have never felt before. I was working with my little kid, and one of the 3-year-olds called me "mommy" and his teacher prompted him to say my name. He did not. After probably 20 minutes, he came to me and decided to sit on my lap while I was on rocking chair. He hugged me and asked me to rock the chair. He is one of our newest kids.
And one of my own kids came to me out of nowhere while I was doing my notes, and sat on my lap, and started hugging me. He is so adorable. He always does this almost every time he sees me.
And one of my little kids got really tired and sleepy. While I was changing his pull-up, he rested his head on my shoulder and falling asleep in my arms.
Even though I had the thoughest day today, I'm glad there were some little things that kept me sane during the day. I love this part of being a child therapist. I'm going to miss them a lot.

i can't believe i'm leaving work this week.
but i'll always be the therapist. some of my kids' favorite therapist.
Everyday I come home from work smelling like kids, diaper, wet wipes, and some food.
This is what happens when you work with kids whole day)
