A child is having outbursts at school, or at home, or wherever else, on a pretty regular basis. And at some point, someone suggests that they need to learn better coping skills.
They suggest therapy, or maybe there’s even a special program at school. Because yes, better coping skills/self-regulation skills/frustration tolerance really would solve everything, wouldn’t it?
Well those are fine skills to have, to be sure, but more often than not, it’s not what that child (or adult) needs most. What they really need is someone to figure out what’s stressing them out so much and then do something about THAT.
Because it’s not actually weird to be distressed over distressing things. Maybe *you* don’t understand what’s so distressing about school or the grocery store or that new person in the house, but that doesn’t mean *their* distress isn’t legit.
People reeaalllly like to suggest better coping skills for autistic, ADHD, and otherwise ND folks. (Since we already have a diagnosis, it’s that much easier to locate the problem in US.) And what they’re really saying with this an awful lot of the time is, “Can you please stop being so distressed by distressing things because it’s making a lot of work for us and we’re not about to change anything for you.”
So before you put someone in some sort of therapy that will teach them that they’re wrong to be upset about the things that upset them and how to get better at pretending to be okay, maybe consider that you might be expecting them to “cope” with more than they can reasonably be expected to.

yeah they’re wild for that
My stance on Autism Speaks
So yesterday, my mother sent me a photo of a page on the Autism Speaks website. It said that they have removed “finding a cure for autism” from their vocabulary. On the same page they stated that they did not support eugenics.
I went on their page to do more research on what they’re saying now. They have a page addressing their awful (and quite traumatizing) “I Am Autism” video. They apologized for it and apologized to anyone that “was offended”.
So what am I saying here?
I do not support Autism Speaks. I never will. Despite their apologies, they do not acknowledge all their wrongdoings. Even if they did, nothing will be able to make up for it. So, that being said, my stance remains the same:
If you support Autism Speaks, GET OFF MY FUCKING BLOG.

GUYS!!!!
NEW!!!! SONIC.EXE!!! I THOUGHT OF!!!!
Basically, it happens when some guy can’t afford a Sonic game, but he wants to play it. So he makes a ✨board game✨
Little does he know, he used wood from an old ouija board. Or at least the Sonic piece was. (I’m open to suggestions on how the game would work lol)
It gets passed around in yard sales. Sometimes people survive because they know something’s off, others don’t.
that’s the basic idea lol. I’m gonna call him Bitty.EXE or Sonic.BIT because he remains a wooden game piece. The other EXE’s make fun of him. He ain’t having it bro 🤣

Exactly. Even if the begin to actively engage with autistics and the way they think/believe, I will not forgive them.
