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.

Do you see the days of the week in colour? Do you see sound as colour? So synethesia is a neurological condition that can be diagnosed as part of an autism spectrum disorder or as a independent condition. Synethesia is characterised by the ability for a person to experience flashes of colour when hearing sound. Or a person may relate a certain colour to a certain word, phrase or set of words. I have this experience where I see the days of the week as certain colours and I also see the months as colours to. They all have different colours but they do have a relationship to each other, and a sort of feeling that accompanies each one of them. This condition is fascinating and also quite common in a person on the autism spectrum. Please leave a comment if you have anything to add, I read every single one.

Why is autism and music talent so common? I’m jumping in and talking about that right now. So music and autism have a huge relationship, and have done for many years but why? There are a number of autistic individuals who are musicians and are very talented in the music industry. I myself am a self taught multi musician on the autism spectrum and i think i know why. As I learned the structure of how instruments create music and chords i realised it was all mathematics and patterns. Autistic people are logical thinkers and love patterns. This is why autistic people love routines. So music is no exception, it is a pattern based mathematical sound, which is sensory stimulating to.

So what do you know about Tourette’s and Autism? Are they linked? Are they the same? I’m explain all that. So Tourette’s is such an interesting neurological condition that impacts about 1 in 163 people on average, and is a difficult condition to deal with at times. It creates impulses of tics, which are involuntary nosies, or sounds or movements that just occur in random succession. There is a link that exists between autism and Tourette’s and that is that they are both neurological conditions and that they both enable tics. I experience tics with autism, which are impulsive reactions to situations. For example if I am overwhelmed stressed, or nervous I have a tic that occurs where I hit my chest and cough. Tourette’s is sometimes co-occurring in autism to, so a person could be diagnosed with autism and also Tourette’s at the same time. But they are also diagnosable independent of each other, so you can be diagnosed with only autism and or only Tourette’s. Another linking factor that joins Tourette’s and autism together is the fact that there is no known cause for either of these unique conditions.

Anxiety can hit anyone at any age at any time, but there are lots of men out there who will brush it off because admitting that they are feeling unwell can show a weakness. This is due to societal pressure of how a man should act and should respond. Here are 5 Anxiety Symptoms in Men YOU SHOULD Spot! 1. Racing Heart When adrenaline starts pumping round your body due to anxiety increases the heart rate and will start beating rapidly. 2. Excessive Sweating When adrenaline is moving around the body it also causes clamminess and you begin to sweat in a sort of cold sweat. 3. Muscle Tension Your muscles will start to get tighter and tense because of the fight or flight response system that your body is currently undergoing. 4. Restlessness or Agitation Due to the male dominance of testosterone agitation will be prominent when experiencing anxiety. 5. Dizziness and Vertigo This rush of adrenaline and the fight or flight response will also cause you to be dizzy and experience vertigo because there is no imminent danger just an anxiety attack.
