Thought I’d talk about my care today since a lot of people don’t talk about care they get from families and outside sources.
I am completely cared by my family. They 100% care for me in every way.
My siblings and parents take care of everything for me. From making meals, to making sure I’m safe, making sure I’m bathed, to making sure I’m handling everything correctly and just generally comfortable.
My family is not my caregivers though, and they make that very clear. They do not want the title of being my caregiver. Does that mean they do things that a caregiver would do? Yes. However, I will not force that title upon them if they do not want it. And I will not force them to act as my caregivers either.
My mother is especially the one to thank. She goes to every doctor appointment, every big outing, everything. She takes care of me in every way and I am extremely grateful for that. I get care that I like to call “support needs care” that means that they do what I can’t, and I do what I can. And that’s how it works.
Will I need a part time caregiver from the state in the future? Probably. And if I wasn’t leaving for a college program in April then I would be in the process of getting one. But I’m not at the moment.
Talking about care that autistic people get is so important, and talking about what they do is so important. They are here for me. They advocate for me when I cannot. They help me with so much, and they deserve recognition for that. Caregivers and parents are a vital part of the autism community. Do they overstep sometimes? Yes. But that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be talked about. Not talking about them leaves out a big part of the community, and leaves out a big part of higher support needs people. Our caregivers and parents are vital parts to us. They are vital parts to our lives.
Caregivers and parents do things that people couldn’t even imagine. And everyday it’s a battle for them. This is not a “boo hoo, poor caregivers and parents” post. This is a post bringing awareness to something that is vital to a lot of peoples lives.
Recognize caregivers and parents. Recognize what they do. Listen to them. Listen to the people they are caring for.

pixie says caregivers and guardians a lot, what's a caregiver/guardian? Are they like pixies parents or other people? Sorry if this annoying just confused
Pixie be high support needs and need help almost all time and is not safe alone . so . Government pay for caregivers come to Pixies house take Care of Pixie while guardians are working . Think of is like babysitters for all ages .
Pixie have guardians because judge and lawyers say Pixie too severely disabled and need help with everything in life . and . is not safe and not able take care of self . Guardians kind of like parent , but more serious and for all ages and court judge decision . If severely disabled person have good parents , them can become persons guardian . Pixie not have good parents so instead is Guardian Wizard and guardian Librarian are pixies guardians .
Hope is make sense . is really complicated thing Pixie not understand so good .

Common acting by emotionally unstable/immature parents:
they become defensive when you disagree and may attack back;
they are dismissive of your emotions/don't really try to connect with you;
they make everything about them and how they feel, especially your emotions/reactions: you have the power to make their mood;
they do not create a deep bond with their child: they don't know you deeply and it may make you feel lonely, but expect vulnerability and comfort from you even without asking for them;
they blame you for whatever reason (especially things they have done);
use parenting to boss around the child and show their power/that they own and command their child: you have no privacy or boundaries of sort;
may guilt or shame you into doing things for them;
have no tolerance for stress/get easily angered;
have a difficult time apologizing and may turn it into blame/go away;
are emotionally insensitive or misbehaving, or not constant in their responses/feedback;
they may also show more compassion towards people/situations outside the family.

Hey, tiny one! Wanna go for an adventure with your sibling? Yeah? We can totally do that! Let's get our shoes on and go to the great outdoors! What's that? Does it sound scary? Don't worry, little love, the great outdoors is just the park, we have been there before! All better now? Yeah? Good, I'm so glad, cupcake! Let's go, sweetie!

Here's to caretakers!
Being a caretaker isn't an easy job. Exhaustion can evolve into burnout fairly quickly if you're not careful!
Shoutout to caretakers who:
Are caretakers for just one headmate/a few headmates in particular
Are physical caretakers for the body
Get burnt out easily
Have to have help from other headmates
Have multiple roles in their system
Non-stereotypical caretakers; caretakers who are also littles/syskids, traumaholders, fictives, big sibling figures instead of parental, adoptive and step parents, etc.!
You're incredible! Even if no one else knows it, I see all your efforts. I see the things you go through and sacrifice! Please don't forget how important it is to take care of yourself, too ❤️
🖤💜💙💚💛

When it comes to relationships, give yourself (and others) a chance. You can't be sure that others will leave or find you unlovable or "weird" the moment you'll start showing your true self unless you try (and even if they would, it doesn't mean they won't accept you. And if so, better people will come); and tbh even people pleasing won't save you: your mind might tell you otherwise, like "I'm always doing/saying what they want and therefore they need me/cannot hate me or leave", but the thruth is they can actually leave anyway. You cannot know if someone cares or not if you never ask for help/try to be vulnerable but try to do everything on your own (you know, trusting and vulnerability are a strenght sign, much more than being so independent); you cannot be sure that you'll be forever alone, unless you keep fearing to be abandoned, not be vulnerable and real (which is kinda needed in an healthy relationship, no matter what your emotionally immature/unstable caregivers have taught you in your childhood), and not putting yourself out there: you're the one blocking yourself. And if you feel like you cannot do it alone, you cannot sort this childhood trauma on your own, seek for help. Do it for yourself, and nobody else. You deserve to experience a good life and healthy relationships.

Folks who take care of loved ones: how do you avoid the insidious "I never have time for myself" and/or "everyone can have help but me" brainworm? I'm so tired.

Just how shitty parents act when you are with them and then a complete 180 shift when you go to the other parent like they're waiting for you to be back.
Like for what? To be treated like shit anyway and accept it because I should accept your toxic love? If you can't love me the way I need, you simply do not love me.

Our sister (she moved back in not that long ago) gave me a shower yesterday I forget what it's like feeling clean Everytime because it's so spaced when I'm getting showers. I think I like my sister giving me a shower more then non giving me one she talks to me while she's giving me the shower and she didn't expect me to say anything back. Mom just showers me in silence which I do like sometimes but mom also leaves me in the shower awhile and that gets painful because my shower chair has no back to lean on so after a shower even if it's short like last night it always ends with me being achy and in a lot more pain then before shower
