We've got to get you more line. And that wheelbarrow from The Princess Bride.40 mi from coast....I've run out of line
Even if I didn't want to do it and wanted someone else to, I did it. Didn't want the child suffering from a filthy diaper.Its funny to look back on, but the level of disrespect was... inexcusable.
Got any inappropriate jokes?@JustGeorge is in continuous stress attack with no help. I wish we could help, George
My grandpa let my mom not only sit in her dirty diaper(and then poopy water; he didn't bother remove the diaper), he left her in the tub while he went and read a book.Even if I didn't want to do it and wanted someone else to, I did it. Didn't want the child suffering from a filthy diaper.
I think the thing that really took some courage was changing little girls. I was really embarrassed early on with my first child, my oldest daughter. I don't know why, but I just felt weird until practice and reminding myself that my daughter needed me brought me out of it.

Has Ares improved in any way as he aged?Got any inappropriate jokes?

Ares made a HUGE improvement when he was sent home from school during the pandemic. He was not expected to be verbal, and then he started talking in a month. By the second year of homeschool, he had dropped a fair number of supports on his IEP. He was performing at or above grade level(except on writing; that was his bad subject).Has Ares improved in any way as he aged?
Yup. As little as I can get him to do.Is He still homeschooling?
Are there older or bigger kids in his classes?Yup. As little as I can get him to do.
I tried to put him back in school when the regressions hit, but they'd call me back as soon as I'd drop him off most days because he was tearing up the classroom. He won't do anything for them, either.
No, same age. Its a self contained classroom, though.Are there older or bigger kids in his classes?
I could stand it no longer and asked chatgpt: A friend has a 10 year old boy who has had severe behavior regression including physical attacks, bizarre out of control episodes and so forth. Can there be a physical cause for this? If so, what are the possible diagnoses and what other symptoms should the friend tell her doctor about?This is another mental condition entirely
Do you believe you know how Ares is treated by classmates or teachers?No, same age. Its a self contained classroom, though.
Ouch! I have my opinions on that and they are not flattering.Got any inappropriate jokes?

Bipolar has been dropped, but you're not allowed to say children have bipolar. That's not popular.I could stand it no longer and asked chatgpt: A friend has a 10 year old boy who has had severe behavior regression including physical attacks, bizarre out of control episodes and so forth. Can there be a physical cause for this? If so, what are the possible diagnoses and what other symptoms should the friend tell her doctor about?
The answer was quite extensive. I'm not saying it's any of these, but if any of the associated symptoms ring a bell, I would start going down that road if I were you. Some don't match what you've written about Ares problems and some you've mentioned but for what it's worth here's the full answer:
Behavioral regression in a 10-year-old child, especially involving severe physical attacks and bizarre episodes, can indeed have various physical causes. It's essential for your friend to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause. Here are some possible diagnoses and symptoms to consider:

Yes. His teacher would push him past what was wise. Some days it worked, but other days it went over into safety hazard. He did like her, but they pushed each other's buttons.Do you believe you know how Ares is treated by classmates or teachers?
Same. I never heard much good of him(died before I was born.)Ouch! I have my opinions on that and they not flattering.
