Yay happy EDS&HSD awareness month! Celebrating a diagnosis and more support while also grief of my life changing and my pain getting worse.

Common special interests for #autisticgirls include art, animals, celebrities, tv shows, dolls, and other things that girls are typically interested in. For #Autistic girls, though, these interests are intense to the point that she may like to act like her favorite animal at inappropriate moments, use her dolls to communicate, or watch nothing but the same show over and over. #specialinterests #ASD #Autism #Autistic #AuDHD #ASDfacts #Autismfacts #funfactfriday #autisminfo #diagnosis #bias #funfact #didyouknow https://autisticgirlsnetwork.org/keeping-it-all-inside.pdf https://www.autismhampshire.org.uk/about-autism/women-and-girls-on-the-autism-spectrum#:~:text=The%20interests%20of%20girls%20in,and%20intensity%20of%20these%20interests.

Scaffolding is essential when it comes to our ND kids - I know it does for mine! But it goes beyond working closely with their teachers and school staff. What about guided play with friends? Mindfulness of when to end play when your child is approaching overwhelm? School is a great place to start, but we can support our kids and their friends to succeed in and out of school, the trick is to see them, hear them, and recognizing cues of felt safety (or lack therein) as well as sensory overload! #ndadvocate #ndaffirmingalliedhealth #ndeducation #neurodiversityaffirmingpractice #neurodiversitymovement #autismappreciation #autisticclinician #autismunderstanding #autismparents #autisminfo #autism #sensoryoverload #sensoryregulation #sensorysafety #neurodivergentslp #slpresources

Understanding and Supporting Neurodiversity in Our Kids 🌈 1️⃣ Neurodiversity 101 Neurodiversity celebrates the different ways our brains work and interpret the world. Did you know? This includes ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and sensory processing issues, among others. It's not just about challenges; it's about unique strengths like amazing memorization skills or intense focus. 🧠✨ #ndadvocate #ndaffirmingalliedhealth #ndeducation #neurodiversityaffirmingpractice #neurodiversitymovement #autismappreciation #autisticclinician #autismunderstanding #autismparents #autisminfo #autism #sensoryoverload #sensoryregulation #sensorysafety #neurodivergentslp #slpresources
Proprioceptive input is vital for Neurodiverse kids (and adults), impacting both physical and emotional health. It aids in motor control, body awareness, adapting to changes, calming, and skill learning. Quick Benefits: Improves Motor Skills: Helps with precise movements needed for activities like writing or sports by informing the brain about body position. Boosts Body Awareness: Enhances confidence in movement, supporting independence and reducing injury risks. Supports Adapting to Environments: Enables appropriate reactions to changes, crucial for safe navigation. Offers Calming Effects: Activities involving resistance or pressure can soothe sensory discomfort, aiding in relaxation. Facilitates Learning: Essential for developing muscle memory and mastering skills through practice. Incorporating proprioceptive activities into daily routines can strengthen neurodivergent individuals' coordination, grounding, and learning abilities, enhancing their quality of life and interaction with the world. #ndadvocate #ndaffirmingalliedhealth #ndeducation #neurodiversityaffirmingpractice #neurodiversitymovement #autismappreciation #autisticclinician #autismunderstanding #autismparents #autisminfo #autism #sensoryoverload #sensoryregulation #sensorysafety #neurodivergentslp #slpresources

Sin embargo, muchos niños no reciben un diagnóstico definitivo hasta que son mayores. La intervención temprana conduce a resultados positivos a lo largo de la vida de las personas con autismo. - -Sintomas *No hacen contacto visual👀 *Rechazan el contacto fisico *Movimientos repetitivos👏🏼 *Atraso en el lenguaje🗣️ *Intolerancia a los sonidos fuertes📢 *Interes obsesivo con algunas cosas *Prefieren jugar solos *Solitarios🙁 - -Personas con autismo 1 de cada 100 ninos son diagnosticados con autismo. En promedio el autismo en los ninos son 4 veces 🚹mayor al de las ninas.🚺 - -Causas Se desconoce la causa exacta, la evidencia disponible indica que los factores ambientales que interactúan con la susceptibilidad genética de un individuo pueden causar este trastorno del desarrollo.🧬 - -Tratamiento No existe cura💉 El tratamiento de Análisis Aplicado de la Conducta (ABA) 👈 es el más aceptado y el que mejores resultados ha tenido, ya que ayuda al niño a mantenerse bajo control instruccional y centrar su atención, favoreciendo así su adaptación al entorno.👨👩👦
It's incredibly #confusing and #overwhelming when your #brain is fighting itself, and #diagnosis can be even more difficult. You have been obsessed with fairies your whole life and also deep dive into learning about other things that catch your interest. You want to follow the directions, but it's hard to remember what comes next. You know logically that you're in the wrong, but you're having trouble regulating your intense anger about the situation. You get anxious when you don't follow a routine, but creating and keeping that structure seems impossible. You need a safe, familiar environment when you're overstimulated, but you also crave the new and interesting and need more sensory input. The #duality can be confusing and frustrating, especially when you throw #masking into the mix. #ADHD #AuDHD #Autism #ASD #ADD #dualdiagnosis #executivefunctioning #EFskills #overstimulated #understimulated #dysregulation #ADHDlife #ASDlife #overwhelm #AuDHDlife #ADHDinfo #AuDHDinfo #ASDinfo #Autisminfo
✨️Stimming✨️ Things you do without meaning to, and they usually serve some purpose, like helping you regulate your emotions. A lot of people stim, even if you don’t always hear it referred to that way. Maybe you tap your foot when you’re impatient or anxious, or twiddle your thumbs when you’re bored. These kinds of repetitive behaviors are considered self-stimulatory behaviors, too, even if you don’t call them that or recognize them as such. There are lots of reasons people may engage in these behaviors, including but not limited to: Showing excitement, regulating emotions, and because it's just plain enjoyable to do.🤗 #autismacceptance #autismparent #explainingautism #autisminfo #autismacceptancemonth #nocurejustacceptance
Some of the most asked questions! Where do I find support.

How about validating and celebrating neurodivergent communication styles? Bouncing from topic to topic like a rabbit is one of my very favourite ways to interact with someone. When I get to do this with a kid, I am so happy. Writing goals for a neurodivergent kid to ‘reduce tangential conversation’ or ‘stay on topic in a conversation’? No way. Let that kid know that their communication style is interesting, fun, and appreciated. And know that it really, really will be appreciated by other ND people. Help them find those people. And don’t squash it. Yeah? Em 🌈
This is not about sunburn. It is rejecting the idea of exposing our neurodivergent kids to distressing, overwhelming, and painful sensory stimuli so they ‘develop a tolerance.’ We would never do it with sunburn. Why? I suppose because the distress has an obvious, recognisable sign. It’s not invisible. And because sunburn discomfort can be experienced by neurotypical and neurodivergent people alike. And there is research backing it up. Well. I know the research is coming for the negative cumulative effects of sensory overwhelm and significant neurodivergent distress. No one could look at the mental health statistics of our population and claim that we’re fine. The lived experience evidence is already here. We already do so much accommodating for sun safety. We have alternative clothing, accessories, public spaces, products, outdoor plans, temperature control, marketing and advertising. No one thinks it’s odd that I seek out shade if I’m outside or if I avoid being outside because I’ll burn. People get it. It’s not weird if I cover my face in bright pink zinc. That tells me that people are able to understand and accommodate. It is possible. It starts with education. Instead of training our ND kids to ‘tolerate’ such distress, discomfort, and pain, how about we help them identify their own sensory needs and address them? Don’t they deserve that? I think they do. Em 🌈 P.s. this is not about sunburn.
I created the pictures but my brain won’t give me the right words for this caption. It’s very foggy. I hope the pictures explain it well enough. What do you take from this one? Em

So last week a very hateful woman commented on a post of mine. She told me (and everyone else) that we were raising ‘entitled snowflakes’. It’s been in my mind ever since, so I’ll be honest- I have a really hard time thinking badly of snowflakes. I mean, have you seen them?? I know what the term means colloquially. But literal language is also a big strength of mine. I’m only too happy to take that person’s horrible comment and turn it into something nice. So here are some of the things I appreciate about snowflakes, and some ways in which we are, indeed, alike (and thank you, hateful owner of that childcare centre, for the inspiration): ❄️ Each snowflake is utterly unique and beautiful- not unlike our neurodivergent kids. Don’t assume that any of us are identical. ❄️ Snowflakes are dazzling and awe-inspiring when in the right environment, much like us. Get the supports in place and watch us shine. ❄️ We can be extremely sensitive to different things, but this sensitivity is not a weakness. It is a strength. Because we care so much we are pushed to make change. I do it here everyday. Would I prefer to be insensitive? Ew. No. When did insensitivity ever help anyone? ❄️ The world is often cold but we many of us still find joy spinning and swirling through the wind. We are good at seeing the beauty. ❄️ We may not look like much from a distance, but look closer and pay attention- you will see our magnificence. We are far more intricate than most people realise. ❄️ And finally, it is a mistake to discount the value of our voices. Because when you get a bunch of us together, we become a blizzard. Anyway. I won’t be letting horrible people call the shots here. If you are accommodating and supporting your neurodivergent kid, teaching them sensory safety and self advocacy, teaching them to be proud of their neurodivergent brain- you are doing the very best job. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Em 🌈❄️✌️

I wanted to pop some cheaper basics that help me self regulate and might help you guys too! 1: I started with cheaper fidget toys, you can get them a lot easier now and at the beginning it can be overwhelming. What works for some people might not work for others so try some cheaper ones then you can go get some more sturdy ones. 2: You can get some good ear defenders on Amazon or even screw fix and then I decorate them with scrap fabric and ribbon! 3: The identifying badges from pawsitive paws on Etsy are so cute and can be so useful when you’re out and about and may not feel comfortable communicating you need extra support. 4: This was inspired by Autism parents so thank you! Rabbity is my main source of comfort and I often panic about what happens if she gets lost or is just too loved to I got the extract Rabbity on eBay! 5: Having lots of frozen pizzas in the house is really handy for when I’m struggle to cook, yes it’s not perfect to have pizza 3 days in a row but fed is best and you gotta do what’s best for you!!
