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 💓

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).

I found this on the Autism Speaks site:
-----------
A: The teacher says “It’s time to clean up your toys” at the end of the day.
B: The student yells “no!”
C: The teacher removes the toys and says “Okay, toys are all done.”How could ABA help the student learn a more appropriate behavior in this situation?:
A: The teacher says “time to clean up” at the end of the day.
B: Student, “Can I have 5 more minutes?”
C: Teacher, “Of course you can have 5 more minutes!” -
Why rewards and punishments go a bit wrong with autistic children.
And why behaviorism doesn't actually 'work' 😐 (not for people's mental health and equilibrium anyway!)

Hey, imagine if we had a school system model that made every single child feel they're not quite good enough, and some children feel like they're worse than useless? 😁
Oh. We do. 🤔

"A child who deviates (...) may be telling us (...) that the arrangements of our schools are harmful to human beings.
Something toxic is in the air, and these children refuse to inhale it."
(Another quote from Square Pegs, great book!)

Was there a moment when you stopped thinking, "what's wrong with me?" and started thinking "what's wrong with everything around me??"
For me it was seven years ago when my kid wasn't thriving at school. When I brought it up they tried to persuade me that (if there was a problem) it was my kid. "No bullying here', they said. Practically overnight I turned from a meek, mild 'good girl' to a tornado 🌪️

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