Terminology question!
What names and abbreviations do the behavioural therapies being used on autistic people/children have?
The ones I have so far are ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), PBS (Positive Behavior Support), and SST (Social Skills Training).
Shares appreciated too 💓

Dear People who hold the most power in a household.
You can't expect the other people in your household to simultaneously:
a) give precedence to your needs and feelings about things all the time,
b) be happier when you're around than when you're not there.
Those two things just don't go together. 🤷♀️

I also talked about monotropism; the distinctive depth and narrowness of autistic attention.
The tendency to go very deep, to struggle with switching, to get overwhelmed by competing demands - and to experience the world with such a particular intensity.
Again: not just ‘life is hard’, but a very specific way of processing and experiencing.

Awesome symptom no. 12
Unusual visual-spatial skillsSome autistic people may enjoy modelling, or imaginatively laying out gardens and interiors, or making intricate paintings/cartoons/embroideries, or drawing out maps, or even (for some) making and fixing things.
For example, I'm rather good at putting together IKEA furniture (even if, ahem, I might not manage to go to IKEA to buy it)!

What a great review!
A tiny excerpt:
'It is not enough to put the heroic narrative through a diversity, equity, and inclusion workshop.'

Awesome symptom no. 10
Non-conformismTo an autistic person, 'because everyone else is doing it' is not a good reason for doing something! We tend to lack that sort of 'herd mentality', usually entirely.
I see this as a positive - a safeguard against bullying and mob mentality, as well as an avenue for creativity, positive risk-taking and celebrating our differences.

Programmer needed 🥺
I need someone who can help me with a bit of html, css and JavaScript in a web page (putting in share buttons for social media, and sorting my image sizing).
Anyone?!
And reboosts much appreciated!

Have you ever wondered why you don't always succeed very well in human society?
The ‘48 laws of power’ could go some way to explaining it!

How would you describe your ordinary daily level of anxiety (if any at all)?

One of the current diagnostic criteria for autism is a lack of imagination.
Would you say you lack imagination?
Whatever way you answer, I'd love to hear more detail - if you've time & inclination.
Reposts also appreciated ☺️

Do you get, or have you ever had, recurring nightmares?
If so, what were they about? What was the atmosphere like? And - if you remember - what were your feelings in them? Was there anything else notable about them, or making them different from other dreams?
Interested in your stories.
