      That line is a little grosser then you think. It's literally them saying "I assume you think you're special for having autism, I can't allow you to feel special for being disabled so I'm going to try and take that away from you under the facade of being inclusive." It's no different than when people discredit the queer community with lines like "Everyone goes through that phase, you'll get over it.". Nerotypical, able bodied, cishet people need to stop equating different with being "special". I don't feel special taking a daily inhaler or getting over stimulated at work, it sucks so stop imposing your weird inferiority fetish on me *Karen*.

    I happy-stimmed when Kim Rhodes popped up, I've loved hearing about her discovery that she's likely autistic (her daughter is diagnosed, Kim herself is self-diagnosed because she, unfortunately, can't afford a diagnosis atm, but she's talked to many other auties and they agree she probably has some form of autism too). I'm in a similar situation to Kim, being an adult looking for a diagnosis, although the reason I've been putting it off is due to the pandemic - now that things are properly starting to open up again, my mum and I are talking about finally going to the doctor.

    • @ShinigamiRyan
      @ShinigamiRyan Před 2 lety

      Minus the fact self id is frowned upon because literally anyone can say they're autistic just because of one thing they look up on the internet that they believe fits them. Case in point twitter. If she believes she is, and then says 'your definition of autism' That's a red flag right there that she isn't and is only looking for attention. Autism is very defined.

    • @Beeba10
      @Beeba10 Před 2 lety +20

      @@ShinigamiRyan I've actually heard a lot of people in the autistic community say it's perfectly fine to self-diagnose because autism can be hard to get a diagnosis for for a variety of reasons (lack of research into autism in females, monetary issues limiting them from being able to go to a doctor, etc.), although I understand that not everyone agrees. If you resonate with a lot of the symptoms, then it's very possible you could be somewhere on the spectrum.
      As for Kim saying "your definition of autism", I took it as her talking to people who don't know much about autism and they have a preconceived notion about what everyone on the spectrum is like, but there is a lot of variety from person to person. Sure, auties hold a lot of the same qualities, but past that there are many other symptoms, some that are maybe more or less prominent than someone's idea of autism looks like. Not to mention things like masking which could make someone brush you off and say "pfft, you're not autistic, look at all these things you do like a neurotypical!"
      Considering the fact that there is often a genetic element to autism (some auties inherit it from a parent) and Kim has an autistic daughter, and the fact that she's talked to other autistic people at length and taken non-official tests that they've recommended for her and she has received results suggesting she's autistic, I think it's a little hurtful to suggest she's just saying it for attention. She's raising awareness about late diagnosis and creating a platform for people to look up to.

Just apply for disability, and those people will send one to a doctor for such a type of examination. Her platform is self id. Everyone and their mother is going to run with a self id to feel special.

      @@ShinigamiRyan Professional diagnosis can be expensive, inaccessible, and biased. Even with disability, not everyone can afford a diagnosis, and Kim is unfortunately in that boat. She. Cannot. Afford. It. And a majority of people self-diagnosing (not all, but most) aren't doing so simply because they're "shy", they've genuinely noticed that they have a lot of the symptoms associated with autism. You don't think self id is valid, fine, but a lot of the community do accept people who self id. Even if that person ends up not having autism, if they were wrong, they likely still need some kind of help.

      @@ShinigamiRyan In the US if you are an adult your health insurance will not cover diagnosis. Diagnosis costs up to $5,000 USD if you can find a private doctor who does them. On top of that you have to find a doctor who is familiar with both adult diagnosis AND diagnosis in Women. You will end up on a waiting list that can be a year or two long and then still be misdiagnosed. You are unlikely to receive disability for autism and as an adult on t he spectrum there really are not any support services in the US. That is why self diagnosis is considered valid in the ASD community. If you have done all of your research, that is.

    This was so enlightening to watch!
    Could y’all help some of the neurotypical people like me who have autistic people in their lives understand them better?
    So I’m a sub teacher and work with young nonverbal autistic kids.
    They gave me no training to try and help them so I’m just in the dark most of the time.
    They don’t speak, they just make sounds from time to time. They put them in class with other kids until they can figure out what to do. I suspect that stresses them out. One of them attacked me. The other one bolts out of the class at top speed and I end up having to chase her and carry her back in.
    At lunch, the girl won’t eat her food, but will run up to the other kids and try to eat their food. She loves packaged processed food and will try to open them. I don’t know how to get her to eat her own food.
    I took her outside to try and minimize the distractions, and she started eating the fertilizer in the planter dirt instead. She also chewed off every single eraser head in class and eats the play doh.
    I don’t know what kind of class environment they would prefer if any to make them not want to run off or attack. I want to help them feel more comfortable with their surroundings.
    Any insight would be appreciated :)

    • @Valledorthedragon
      @Valledorthedragon Před 2 lety +24

      A few things that come to mind for myself. Non verbal to me is like talking- you’re almost thinking so clearly you just forget to make your voice physical, or just don’t want to. There’s often a bit of personal bubble/lost in your own world involved in that too- partly because of just naturally being a bit more self contained, partly because thats the more comfortable way to experience/understand yourself and the world around you.
      I’d say if they’re acting out like they are, especially if they’re non verbal, they’re probably having a hard time trying to cope/understand/communicate what they’re feeling- you can only benefit from opening ways to communicate with them (pen and paper, picture cards, find one that works for them and get creative if you need to)- especially to help figure out what kind of things might be bothering them, both for stimulus struggles and social frustrations.
      They might not know what the bothering thing is a lot of the time, but again you can only benefit from both you and them figuring these things out together. It can be any number of things you don’t realise are aggravating them, especially sensory wise. Lots of things you wouldn’t even think to consider can be really intense with a kind of “nails on chalkboard” feeling- even something as simple as the feeling of socks on my leg, water dripping down your face, the sound of a pencil on paper or too much visual “noise” going on can cause a bit of upset.
      One thing I think would be especially useful is some kind of sensory/relaxation/peaceful room where they can go to as a sensory safe place for when things get too much- so they have an escape to decompress or wind down in, whatever is troubling them. Most of the time, getting out of a distressing situation is the first major step of calming down again, so having a place you can go to that’s guaranteed to be away from any other stressors, when you’re in a hypersensitive state, it can be a lifesaver.
      Honestly, they’re gonna be learning about their autism and how to understand/navigate the world with it just as much as you are- it’s an ongoing, lifelong process for most of us, but I think if you make the effort to stay open and try to understand, meet them in a way that helps them communicate comfortably, on their terms, it’ll do a lot to help.
      Random additional side notes:
      If you can talk to or connect with them via one of their passions or fixations, you may never see the end of it, but few things makes us as happy or come out of our shell so much as talking about and bonding over an obsession.
      We have little to no sensory filters, so we can’t tune in or out of sounds or sensations- footsteps and rustling trees might be enough to make it hard to focus on a voice. Similarly with physical sensations- being wet, feeling strong wind or touching different surfaces can make focussing hard.
      Consistency with textures is an oddly vital part of food- we often prefer vegetables over fruits for this reason (seeded fruits especially can be just awful), we tend to get very fixed on safe comfort foods and be perfectly happy having them over and over and over again, so it’d be a good idea to make sure they’re comfortable and introduced to a variety of food, (I’m super grateful I got familiar with a bunch of stuff across the food groups growing up cos it’s really hard to introduce something new).
      We will take things literally- we don’t really understand the concept of saying things without meaning them, so jokes, instructions, tasks and figures of speech can be a little harder to navigate. Turns-of-phrase such as “throw your shoes off” can be taken as a literal instruction to throw- and you will probably have a bit of a learning experience discovering how many of these things there are and how little they make sense XD
      Social stuff is HARD- some of us will mimic to get by (usually us girls tend to copy and blend in), but when you don’t know why anyone does anything, or what you’re supposed to do, it gets frustrating real fast. They might not always be interested in learning how to speak human body language or social norms, but some basics such as “nod to show you’re listening because I don’t know if you don’t” and “if you smile at someone, they smile back” can be lifesavers. It’s like learning to understand a dog or a cat- what does this noise mean, why is their tail like that, why did it growl at me, what does it want, how do I respond etc etc.
      So often it can feel like the world just isn’t quite built for us, so taking the effort meet us where we need the support and not forcing us to strain to meet neurotypical standards can do a lot- don’t treat us as aliens by any means, but also don’t expect us to play by the neurotypical rulebook. Silence doesn’t always mean calm, a blank face doesn’t always mean disinterest and looking away doesn’t always mean we’re not listening.
      That’s all I got for now, I am high functioning so a lot of this should maybe be considered with a grain of salt, but the fact you’re reaching out for this speaks volumes. Hope this helped you gain a bit of a better understanding.
      Also time management can be a struggle- oftentimes we can disappear into things and lose any and all concept of time- case and point, I am just finishing up writing this and suddenly it’s 2am XD don’t be afraid to set timers if needed!!! I use them for meal and bed times and they are very much nessecary XD

      @@Valledorthedragon Thank you so much!!!
      I will take all your advice into consideration.
      Yes I want to try and help them as much as I can.
      Thanks especially for the comment about looking away. When I talk to the students they frequently look away and I always wonder if they are understanding me or ignoring me because they don’t want to listen.
      Wow with the sensory deprivation.
      That explains why they don’t like being in class - it’s loud.
      They don’t have a room as much as I know but I would take them for walks outside. However now I’m hearing that there are still distracting elements with the sounds and smells, I’ll see if I can find a room for them.
      The consistency texture is also an eye opener. Maybe she’s eating the play doh and erasers because she’s hungry and they have a consistent texture. So maybe if there was a food like mashed potatoes or crackers she would eat that. I watched her all day, all she ate was (someone else’s) wafers, some play doh and the fertilizer!
      With the other one that would attack me, he stopped after I started taking him outside a lot and touching him. (Weird I know but I noticed he would do self soothing behaviors like suck his thumb) Not invasively, just a head pat or hand holding.
      I will be trying to find a book that explains the way the world experienced through autism to help understand. Any pointers?

      I don’t know nearly as much as the previous commenter, but in regards to the girl who likes to eat play doh/ chew the erasers off of pencils, there are specific sensory toys that can help with this, such as ‘chewellry’. basically it’s a necklace with a chewable rubber type material attached, which could encourage her to occupy herself with that, instead of with less edible things. It sounds like a stimming behaviour but again, I’m not an expert. I hope everything works out alright!

      @@artisticagi physical comfort can be a game changer. When I was a kid, I was always in trouble. l fell through all the cracks.. long story short. I use to hate physical contact, until more recently, when I discovered how calming it can be. Just some basic physical comfort from someone that genuinely cares can be game changing. ( I'm an adult so I don't know if this is true for kids with autism, I have adhd & autism but was undiagnosed for the majority of my life. So this is just my thoughts on it ) but I believe physical comfort, going for walks, escaping the other children and just having a few minutes to reset. I believe that would really help out. Also if you can find a dark room with little to no noise. that should really help for their sensory issues. I've noticed a few places have these kind of rooms for autistic people.

      (a very late comment)
      for me going non-verbal is like a flip switch, when I get overstimulated. I often masked being non-verbal, and speak anyways, which lead to me being very burnt out, and an extremely temperamental kid, I did the running out of class thing a lot. I really appreciate that you're taking the time to try to get some insight/tips from us
      - quiet environments help, if you can afford them get a pair or two of noise-cancelling headphones
      - don't force a non-verbal child to speak, maybe try making nonverbal cue-cards, with things like 'yes' and 'no' written on them, as well as some other messages/gestures and signals.
      - it's alright if they don't always pay attention, try to accomodate them, and then once they seem calm enough, you can try talking to them. it might take time, but they'll open up
      - ask the parents if the children have any particular interests
      - fidget/sensory/stim toys can be calming, and stimulating especially if the kids are under stimulated. there's a few you can make yourself without much effort, you can find them on google, CZcams, or really anywhere on media
      - one word chewable jewelry. you can find these on amazon, and they are great. the girl might just need some sort of oral stimulation, or have a stim that requires her to do so.
      - since they're all children, they're probably having as tough a time as you. imagine having something constantly annoying/bugging you and not being able to know what it is. it'll take time to understand all their autistic tendencies, and you'll have to be very adaptive.

    About the one about stressing over given tasks and then it turning out to not be necessary, I totally relate! I have a story where I went through that exact thing.
    In December my choir does Christmas carol gigs and we have around 18, 19 carols we have to know. You learn a bit of them all at a weekend session near the start of the year but you’re also expected to use Padlet and your sheet music to learn the rest at home. Before the carols season begun, my tutors stressed to us all that it was VERY important to know what we were doing at all times. It was very obvious to the audience when we didn’t, and it wasn’t good enough for us not to know all our carols in their entirety. So in the lead up to my first gig I stressed so much about learning the songs that it had me in tears. I soon learned that we usually ended up working with what we could and the conductors told us that if we didn’t know parts of the songs, just fake it till you make it. 🫠 I was 16.

    The questions were complicated and didn’t review the things we were learning that day. Everyone already had their chairs up and I was the only one left doing the work. I can’t remember it specifically, but there was a lot of questions. I was so confused on how so many people finished their work so fast and I was stressing so much. I started to cry and the teacher was wondering whats wrong. I can’t remember if she was purposely joking or what about the answering all the questions but she might’ve said she was joking? Idk 🤷‍♀️
    I was really angry cuz I couldn’t tell if she actually was and just continued crying.
