AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH QUOTE 12

Wednesday, April 17, 2024

“You hear as autistics we make poor eye contact, we have difficulty socialising, which are both very pathologising ways of describing something that is inherently neutral. You could completely rewrite the neurotypical experience to be just as pathologised, if you wanted to. … ‘I’ve discovered this new condition – sorry, disorder – called “Neurotypical Spectrum Disorder”, and people who are suffering or afflicted with this disorder often have poor attention to detail. They might have an obsession with meaningless small talk, social status, and ritualistic exchange or social grooming. They may demonstrate a lack of interest in exploring their favourite topics deeply. They will take many activities at once, aka “multitasking”, at the expense of all of them. They have a linear thought process and inability to think outside of the box on a daily basis.'” – Samantha Stein, Autistic traits are HUMAN traits: depathologising the autistic

Want to know how to tell your family you are Autistc? Here are the top strategies I used. These are the exact strategies I used to tell my family that I was on the autism spectrum, when I received my diagnosis. It is good to note that everyone’s experience with family members will be different, but this is a general rule that I would stick to when explaining your diagnosis to family. 1.Explain The Process By explaining the process of how you got to and how your assessment took place it will allow them to feel part of the journey and almost feel like they are there with you. This is good for them to understand and connect with what you need to tell the, 2.Research It is important to present research to your family as extra information of they are going to need more information on this subject. I would suggest finding the best web pages or YouTube video that explain your diagnosis and provide them with these to look at in their own time. 3.Full Picture Try your best to explain it to everyone in your family group, as you only explain it to a small amount of your family what you may have issues so that when you are with with other members and you are in other situations they can help you. If you have anything to add to this, please pop it in a comment as I read every one. Also please follow @theaspieworld for more autism content.

Say Autism, not Aspergers

Hans Asperger, the doctor in which our disability was named after, had links to the Nazis, so...

No thank you!

my only two conversation starters are:

•trauma

•ive never had diarrhea

Today's meme discusses 'Autistic behaviours' and how masking can affect how the presentation of our Autistic traits can change over time. [Text description: My 'Autistic behaviours' are not as obvious as they used to be because I have learned to mask and memorise social scripts that hide my Autistic traits.

Hi indie people! I wanted to talk about some of the positive autistic traits in autistic people. Because often autism is talked about in a negative way but being autistic can be a positive which is what I want to showcase through these 5 positive autism traits.

What is a positive thing about autism to you?

Stay you, stay indie!

This, this, so much this! Autism is a spectrum and traits vary between each individual! I have traits from both columns, but that doesn’t make me less (or more) autistic than any other autistic person. I wish more people would understand this.

This is how to tell your partner you are autistic! 3 strategic ways to help you explain autism to someone. I am asked a lot of the time, how to I tell someone I am autistic, or who do I tell my parents I have autism etc. This has had me thinking for a while, so I decided I would create a piece of content on this subject to help anyone on the autism spectrum who is struggling with this at the moment. 1.Be Open The first thing I did after my diagnosis (as my partner was present) was to be open and honest with family. Tell them everything you can about the process and about the diagnosis and what it means. This is the same for your partner, be as open as you can be. 2.Answer Questions Be mindful that your partner will want to ask you lots of questions on this subject so prepare yourself for lots of information regarding you autism diagnosis. It can be tedious and repetitive but that is just how it might be for a short while for them to get the full picture. 3.Provide Research One of the things I found most useful when educating anyone including your partner, about an autism diagnosis is to provide them with information on the subject. When I was diagnosed I picked up a bunch of leaflets and hand outs and also a DVD explaining what autism / aspergers was. This was good research that I was able to provide to my family for them to understand it. If you have anything to add to this, please pop it in a comment as I read every one.

autistictraits heeft op je bericht gereageerd “tbh there’s nothing more obnoxious than hearing someone complain that...”

@Money stuff, yes this especially. I can't be in the same room as middle class people when they start talking about how hard money is. It's so grating but people get mad if you don't coddle them.

!! this exactly. and i’m really bad at coddling people so i tend to just leave if i can.
