I hate that my brain, when I'm having a feeling or an internal reaction while listening to another person, shuts down all the other channels--listening, seeing--to receive that impression or feel that feeling.

All the other data drops out. As if it never got recorded.

I might catch a key word here or there, or remember a fleeting instant of an impactful facial expression, but it's all broken apart spotty bits like that from there on forward. I often have to reconstruct how those disjointed pieces flow in a coherent statement or narrative later, based on contextual clues and the general gist of the conversation.

I miss so much precious, important-to-me information in my interactions with people I care about because of this phenomenon.

🤬😤

(TL;DR I hate that I can't have a feeling and continue listening to you at the same time.)

Children need to feel safe 💗

"Instead of focusing on eliminating [challenging] behaviors we need to provide children with signals of safety."

I worked in my late teens and twenties. My soul is a night shifter’s soul. Now working days in a hospital to accommodate chronic illness? Special type of hell. It’s hell. My personal hell.

Sensory overload is a common challenge for individuals on the autism spectrum. Bright lights, loud noises, and overwhelming stimuli can all trigger a sensory meltdown. Let's be understanding and supportive of those who may struggle with sensory overload and create a more sensory-friendly environment.

For many individuals on the autism spectrum, texture can be a big factor in their food preferences. Some may prefer soft, smooth textures, while others may crave something crunchy. Let's be understanding and supportive of these differences and help create a welcoming and inclusive mealtime environment.

Eating the same foods day after day can be a comfort for individuals on the autism spectrum. Food aversions and sensory processing challenges can make trying new foods difficult and overwhelming. Let's respect and support those who may need to stick to a predictable food routine.

A friendly reminder to my fellow : never ever call us people! Just kidding, sort of. Phone calls can be overwhelming for some of us due to sensory or social issues, so if you want to get in touch, try sending a text or email instead. Or just send a carrier pigeon, that works too.

@MarmadukeCWest That's a great idea for managing auditory processing issues. I also agree that it would be helpful if more theaters and films offered captioning options. It can be challenging to navigate social events and environments that are overly loud or have too much sensory stimulation. Do you have any other tips or strategies that have been helpful for you in managing your autism-related symptoms?

Understanding helps me understand my self and how I interact with the world.

This review discusses how affect and eventually the whole person.

This is technical, and written in a language that's not ideal [e.g. "individuals with ASD"]... but informative.

I spontaneously start whistling when there is a lot of noise around me, as a way to reclaim my own sound space and keep control over what i hear, i guess. It's mostly misinterpreted as joy, and it's very hard for me to complain about the noise because of it…
