#autism mum

[f1inl3ey]

i just found an “autism mums” tiktok account and she literally videos her child’s every move and says on almost every tiktok “my world with autism” like girl it’s not your world with it if you don’t have it, it’s your sons world. It’s his whole life. stop putting your 9 year old on the internet and only talking about his autism like that’s the only thing about him when it isn’t. She also supports autism speaks.

Back to School Today the boys went back to school after the half term. Was half expecting there to be kick offs as both boys have anxiety regards going to school, but they surprised us both and couldn’t wait to get to school. Our velvetiser from hotel chocolat stopped working this morning for no reason. We tried everything to get it working and nothing helped. Thats another thing to try and get…

When other people say they’re dizzy, they mean ‘phew! My equilibrium is a bit off! In a just a few moments I’ll be fine!’

When I say I’m dizzy, I mean something very different.

I mean that I can see black spots in my vision, and I can’t tell if this is going to be the time I pass out.

It means that the world is swimming underneath my feet, stretching and distorting like an obstacle course even when it’s just a straight, flat path.

It means there’s so much pressure in my head and not nearly enough.

It means that I can feel my heart speed up and beat harder, trying to adjust to the new gravity, just because I’ve shifted slightly.

It means I can feel the nausea rising in my stomach and the bile come up my throat.

It means that walking is a challenge. Getting a snack is a challenge, going to the bathroom is a challenge. Sitting up is a challenge.

So, when I say I’m dizzy, I’m trying to dumb it down so that you can understand a fraction of what I’m feeling. Not that I’m not feeling it. On good days, it’s a hindrance. On bad days it stops me doing anything. Stop telling me that ‘just being dizzy’ doesn’t make me ‘that disabled’. You barely know the half of it.

You know what feels like shit? When a new person comes into the friend group and they're just better at being a friend than you are. They meet all the needs that the friends want where you can't. And you can slowly feel yourself being pushed out of the group.

But what can you even do about it. You can't keep up with that kind of energy. You're not emotionally receptive like them. You're not as experienced in life as them. You can't participate in more conversations beyond your interests with them. You can't go out many places like them. You're not spontaneous like them. You need more accommodations than them.

And the shitty part always is, that overtime, even if you don't immediately realise it, you can feel your friends losing interest in you. You can feel them starting to get annoyed with you. You can feel them slowly moving away to avoid you.

You just know that you're not the type of friend most people want.

Hydration tip for people with ADHD (and other neurodivergent/disabled folks)

Always keep a jug of water in your room. Often, I forget to drink water, don't feel thirst, or feel too tired to go downstairs. But if it's always in proximity, it becomes 10x easier to stay hydrated. So, when I'm feeling alright I go downstairs and get a giant ass jug of water, bring it upstairs and keep drinking it until it's empty.

Autism levels are off the charts here.

some words just sound better in other languages

when im putting the subtitles on for a video or tv show i usually say to myself "I need the sous-titres"

if i drop something or make a sudden mistake i usually instinctively say sheiße instead of shit

me and my mum often say to each other "wo ist die katze?" when we are looking for the cat

I will often say "Qu-est que ç'est?" instead of what is that

me and my dad have an inside joke where we deliberately pronounce common French phrases with strong northern British accents, just because it sounds funny (similar to the way David Tennant says "allons-y" in Doctor Who, but with an even stronger and sillier accent)

i often comment "il pleut" when it is raining, or just say "he rains" in english even though that is the incorrect grammar, because i think it's funny to say things in english with grammar from other languages

I am English, both of my parents are English, I was born in England and have lived here all my life. I just studied three languages in high school like a fucking nerd (and im autistic, that might have something to do with it)

#autism #audhd #adhd #language #french #german #the languages were french german and spanish btw #idk why i dont use spanish phrases more often #possibly because neither of my parents speak spanish #my mum studied german in high school and my dad has french family so those languages are used in our house more often i guess

I feel like Tara, Chad, and Mindy have all jokingly wished Sam a happy Father's Day at least once.

Post 6, Mindy goes "happy father's day to the only daddy I respect" and slaps Sam on the back.

Sam is really confused.

Chad is also confused - Mindy we have a dad? That's actually really disrespectful, why would you say that?

Tara is horrified.

(As a kid, Chad wishes Sam happy father's day because isn't she Tara's dad? She's always there for her and play sports with her and picks her up and spins her around and calls her champ, just like his dad does.)

(Tara never says happy father's day, or happy mother's day. As a kid, they would make cards in school, and Tara would always give them to Sam because she knew her parents wouldn't want them. As an adult, she finds quiet ways to celebrate. She'll make Sam take it easy for the day, order their favourite take out, watch whatever movie Sam wants to watch. There'll be cuddles and cheek kisses and endless gratitude for the person who raised her.)

Brianna's mother has revealed that Brianna had autism and ADHD

I did wonder if she was neurodivergent as well. There is a correlation between being LGBT and neurodiversity, and it's not 'autistic people being groomed by evil agendas blah blah', it's just one of those things, and I'm saying this as a cishet autistic person. Neurodivergent people are very well aware of who they are, thank you very much

That makes things even more sad 😔

As an autistic person, I really didn't enjoy school and was bullied, and was essentially groomed and manipulated by a covert narcissist and possible sociopath online as an adult, whom I thought was my 'best friend ever'

So sad that good, kind people get preyed on by dark souls 😢

i think what should've been a sign i had autism as a kid is one day in school we had a "come to school as your hero day" and everyone went as their teacher or their parents or coaches, except me, who went as Liza from Animal Jam. I was the only kid who wasn't dressed as real person or a human.

Diary #001 - 28/1/23

Sleep deprived and illness Well, my new year goal to write more hasn’t gotten off to a good start. Tonight, I’ve realised that its been about 2 weeks since I last wrote. To be honest, I have completely forgot to sit down and write. I have recently found the evenings difficult to sit and relax and do anything for myself. The last two weeks, the eldest has really struggled with his sleep. When I…

the example people always go for with 'taking things literally' is 'not understanding idioms and metaphors' or 'not understanding sarcasm' and that's frustrating for Me, Specifically, Personally because I am a person who has a lot of social struggles with Taking Things Literally but, crucially, not in that sense. I understand idioms & metaphors just fine and, as someone who's primary special interest is the written word & storytelling, actually am pretty good at them and thrive with them. I miss sarcasm occasionally but catch it most of the time and am often sarcastic myself.

No, my Taking Things Literally is that if you say something to me or give me an instruction, I will Understand It Literally. I will get what you said and not at all what you meant. There are exceptions to this in cases where I've learned the script and even use it myself (e.g. the other day I asked my mum "Is this Not Butter" about a thing, and she replied "Yes but it has buttermilk", because we both understood the real question was "is this the lactose-free spread?" because I was making food for my sister) but in the vast majority of cases, I just. will miss implications and unspoken assumptions. I will just completely miss them, they will not register, I Did Not Know They Were There.

Implications in a narrative? I am on it immediately, this is my bread and butter, I can pull a story apart to get to five layers of subtext & implication & theme like breathing

Reliably understanding that the request "Can you empty the dishwasher?" includes emptying the drying rack which is not physically part of the dishwasher because the real request is "Can you put the clean dishes away?"? Not a chance

#me #fortunately I know a lot of Techy Computer People #so I can go ''you know how if you input a command your computer will do Exactly What You Told It To? my brain works like that' #and then they get it #and that last one is one we've been working on #the request is now usually phrased as ''Can you get the dishes?'' which is mutually understood to be either #''can you put the clean dishes (in both dishwasher & drying rack) away'' #or ''can you load the dishwasher & do the handwashing?'' #depending on the time of day & which of those tasks needs done #however sometimes my mum & dad do forget and use ''can you empty the dishwasher'' and then later they go ''you didn't get the drying rack'' #and I go ''you said dishwasher!! you didn't mention the drying rack!!'' and they go ''okay fair'' #ANYWAYS. I AM HAVING SOME.

I don't like characters like Sheldon Cooper not because they're autistic-coded and have behaviours that are considered stereotypical. I don't like characters like Sheldon Cooper because many of the traits that make them autistic-coded are shown as something to laugh at.

#and the fact that my mum used to call me Sheldon “as a joke” because she thought my reaction was funny and when I would ask her to stop she #would use his nicknames and then would say that it was fine and that she wasn't doing anything wrong #because she wasn't calling me Sheldon when I would get annoyed at her for not listening when I asked her to stop because I didn't like it #probably didn't help with how I view characters like Sheldon #neurodivergent #autistic coded characters #sheldon cooper #autism #neurodiversity #autistic #autism in media
