#Developmental delays
Text
Sick of how people are like "ew what's that" when people are acting childish or something like hello? can you be a human fucking being for a second?
Its my life, the way I grew up and the way I was treated as a neurodivergent and disabled person. The developmental delays, my echolalia and vocal stims and the way that I look and have been treated makes me look, act and be treated like a child.
So before you say "omg all women are infantilized in stories and media and its so gross and yucky", like shut the fuck up. If you aren't disabled or don't have developmental delays, you don't know what it's like and its not your right to judge people who act like kids.
If you say "omg men treat women like babies" and then turn around and look at an autistic woman and think she's "ew gross" because she acts like a child, actually go fuck yourself.

As some of you may know, I work in childcare (preschool, ages 3-5). Here’s some of the things that have happened/been said in the classroom.
I work in one of the severe needs (also called self-contained) classrooms, so a lot of the kids mentioned are on the nonverbal scale.
I’ve had this job for barely over a year.
Trigger warnings include mistreatment of baby dolls and a little girl playing with dolls (which if you don’t know, almost always involves crimes)
§
Me: We don’t swim on tables.
§
Occupational Therapist (OT): We’re cooking the tiny people, apparently.
(Im actually not 100% the OT is the one who said that but I’m sticking with it)
§
Me: Who put the baby in the oven?
§
Me: I got beef with the bus monitor.
§
Me: We don’t eat babies, my friend.
§
Paraprofessional (Para) #1: *holds out a piece of orange to a child*
Child: *Shrieks*
§
Para #1: Why are you throwing the baby.
§
Three-year-old playing with dolls: You be the doctor, I’ll be the little girl.
Me: Doctors are cool.
Kid: *playing* I killed my mom because she spanked me.
Me: *Still processing* Uh… did you do something bad?
Kid: Yes.
Me: *Done Processing* Let’s not kill things, okay?
§
Teacher: Is he microwaving the octopus?
Me: He wanted calamari, but we don’t have a squid.
§
Para #2, returning to playground: Where are you going?
Me, leaving the playground: *Hold up hand with visible bite mark* Apparently I’m delicious.
§
School Nurse: So what happened?
Me: [Kid 1] pushed [Kid 2] cause [Kid 1] tripped and blamed the nearest kid, so when they tried to run away I got in their way to say “We don’t hit people.” And then they bit me.
§
Three-Year-Old Child: Thirsty, I’m dying!
§
Child: Hey, sis. Yo bitch, what’s up?
Me: What are you scripting???
§
Child: *Looking at the play kitchen area* Vegetables!
Me: Yeah, the basket says “vegetables!” Wait, you can read? You are three!
~Later~
Child: *Looking at birthday board* *smacks table* October!
Me: Yeah, you can read. Cool.

Partying or not partying, escorting younger kids or siblings, a variety of developmental delay factors, younger kids in large bodies that look older, if you're going to hand out candy, hand out candy, and don't treat visitors like trained seals that must perform for your approval.

Hi, I hope this question is okay, I've been following your blog for a while and really appreciate what you do. Basically, how common is it for ASD to go unnoticed until adulthood? Like logically I know some people don't get dxd until they're older, but the majority of people get dxd really young, right? I ask cause I've suspected I may be on the spectrum for several years now, but I didn't have developmental issues as a child (like speech or walking delay), and both therapists I've told about this basically just laughed at me. One had only known me for like an hour, is it possible to really be so *obviously* non-autistic? I've been dxd with szpd, which I don't doubt at all, but it doesn't explain my sensory issues and a bunch of other stuff, not to mention that I (suspect) having other disorders that are commonly comorbid with asd, namely arfid, synaesthesia, and hyperlexia. Anyways sorry for the ramble, I hope this isn't overwhelming. Hope you have a nice day!
it really depends on a bunch of factors like other diagnoses (especially ones that can be confused as ASD, like SzPD) & medical issues, your culture (especially if your at-home culture is different from your general society's culture, e.g. refugees), your [perceived] gender (as girls get diagnosed far less and later than boys as we know), your race (non-white kids getting misdiagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder instead of autism (or ADHD), etc), and so many other factors.
personal example: despite showing clear signs of autism all my life, i wasn't diagnosed until 15 because i was born prematurely and developmental delays were attributed to that.
developmental delays are obviously a big part of autism, but neither the ICD-11 nor the DSM-5-TR require them to be noticeable / clinically present in childhood. they will be there - but you might only realise it in hindsight.
the CDC has lists of examples of developmental milestones divided by age. not meeting those milestones are signs of delays.
examples:
by 2 months of age, the child calms down when spoken to or picked up
by 6 months, the child laughs
by 1 year, the child understands “no” (pauses briefly or stops when you say it)
by 2 years, the child plays with more than one toy at the same time, like putting toy food on a toy plate
by 5 years, the child can hop on one foot
so an autistic kid may cry harder when picked up, laugh rarely or not at all, not understand "no", do the classic lining toys up in a row instead of playing with them ""properly"", and be unable to balance properly. this article gives more examples of signs of autism re: developmental delays.
if you can, i suggest getting evidence from your childhood (e.g. asking caregivers what you were like as a kid, school reports, medical reports, etc.), and you can take that to your therapist (...maybe try to get a new one who will take you seriously...) - those are generally the kinds of things they like to see for a neurodevelopmental diagnosis.

New research finds a link between unclean cooking fuels like natural gas, propane, and wood and developmental delays in children.
Researchers looked at indoor air pollution exposure and early childhood development in a sample of more than 4,000 mother-child pairs in the United States.
“Exposure to unclean cooking fuel and passive smoke during pregnancy and in early life are associated with developmental delays in children,” says Alexandra Grippo, first author of the study in the journal Environmental Research.
“While cigarette smoke is known to be harmful during pregnancy, cooking fuel may not be viewed the same way,” says Grippo, who worked on the study while pursuing her master’s in epidemiology in the School of Public Health and Health Professions at the University at Buffalo.

Ignore all logistical considerations of "would they ever meet each other under these circumstances". If you don't think Jules Bashir would have chosen to join Starfleet, imagine he is on the station for some other reason, or they meet in some other location.
I wanted to make this poll because I've seen various fics where Garak reassures Julian that far from being upset over him being augmented, Garak is grateful for it, either explicitly because (he thinks) they wouldn't be able to have their usual conversations if it weren't for the augmentations, or simply because he likes Julian "just the way he is" and wouldn't want him to be "different". I disagree that Garak would think like this (or at the very least, I think Julian would react negatively if he did, rather than be reassured), so I wanted to hear everyone else's thoughts.
#garashir#Star Trek: Deep Space 9#this is not just a shipping question btw so please answer whether you view them platonically/romantically/whatever!#Julian Bashir#polls#Starky's original posts#I'll admit. to me there is a very clear right and wrong answer here.#again not in terms of Garak's characterization so much as in terms of JULIAN'S.#I would be fine if Garak said this and Julian felt at least somewhat conflicted about it but I've never seen even that........#I've wanted to make this post for SO LONG but it's a very common thing in a lot of fics that I otherwise REALLY LIKE#from authors that I REALLY LOVE AND ADMIRE#and I have no idea if I'm just being completely insane and oversensitive OTL#but I just read yet another fic where Garak was like ''I have no choice but to be grateful you were genetically enhanced#because Jules would never have joined Starfleet so we never would have met.''#and I just want to yell WHY DO YOU ALL ASSUME THAT#like not even getting into assuming that Jules would be permanently significantly intellectually disabled#based on limited information about his early childhood developmental delays#but more importantly assuming he wouldn't (read: couldn't. because I KNOW that's what you mean.) end up on the station#You! Star Trek fan! Do you think people with intellectual or learning disabilities are allowed in Starfleet? Answer quickly! :)#sorry I told you I've held onto this for too long. and now I'm a deranged bitch about it :|

Ey, I work in childcare (preschool, ages 3-5). Here’s some of the things that have happened/been said in the classroom.

Things Parents of Children with Autism/ADHD/Developmental Delay/Intellectual Disability/etc. Should Know Before Agreeing to Applied Behavior Analysis Services (This is not a complete list but it has some that I consider most important):
You WILL see online criticism of people who have had bad experiences with ABA. You want a provider that is client-centered and cares about your child's needs and wants and makes sure that the process includes GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHILD AND YOU and establishing a positive relationship before placing any sort of expectations on the child. People do not want to change their behavior or habits for someone they do not care about. And you want a provider that is trauma-informed and will take ALL PRECAUTIONS against causing trauma, using evidence-based behavior analytical treatments and focusing on reinforcement and letting the child make decisions throughout much of the process, and including you in it too.
It is meant to be an INTENSIVE SERVICE. It is based on the client's needs how many hours services should provide in a clinic or in your home, but this could range to anywhere from 10-20 hours on average. Sometimes more or less. Not being able to arrange those hours can cause more harm than good should your child have many needs or delays.
Daytime hours during the school year get you off the waitlist faster. Evening school hours are always taken first during the academic year. We often struggle finding families willing to take their kids out of school early or take them late. ABA companies should not pressure you on what choice to make, but if you feel your child could benefit or if you are experiencing high-intensity behaviors of concern such as aggression or elopement, it may be able to get you services faster. We are ALWAYS looking for daytime sessions!
Your participation is NECESSARY for success. The child must have interventions that are consistent across places and people. Otherwise, it will most likely be less effective or not effective at all. We want to teach you the strategies we use that show to be successful and work with you and the child! We want to work to the point where the child and the family does not need us anymore! But we cannot do that if you do not learn and accept teaching from us. And often insurances require it and will not pay anymore if the report shows you are not participatong and implementing. We are a service meant to enhance the lives of clients in a way that gives them wider access to things they want and like, build more meaningful relationships, and learn new skills that benefit them. If you do not want to participate, then you are probably thinking of a different service, such as having an attendant.
A good provider who is client-centered is not there to reduce behaviors others find "annoying" or "disruptive", such as stimming. They can be taught skills to help increase attention to tasks and temporarily redirect them, but it is often unethical and harmful to the child to stop them from doing it altogether. The treatment plan may even incorporate time for the child to be able to stim/flap hands/rock their body/etc. on purpose because often, they need it to regulate themselves. It feels good. It's their version of tapping fingers when nervous, playing with a strand of hair, etc. It would be unethical to make a client uncomfortable just because a behavior does not look "normal". If if truly hurts them to do the behavior, such as banging their head against a wall, then it will be addressed for safety concerns.
