Finding little parks in smaller suburbs works well with our neurospicy kids. They can be easily overstimulated when there's more children and noise. We still only last approx half an hour to possibly an hour and only really in the last year or two can trust our daughter not to make a run for it. Small steps.

Have been wanting this piece during April for Autism Awareness month ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #autismawareness #neurospicy #ilovesomeonewithautism
Yesterday I wrote a post about the book Far From the Tree. The book was published over four years ago, but is a very relevant read. I was so moved by some of the stories, specifically in the autism chapter, that I did some googling and found this video. Bill and Chris Evans were one of the case studies in the book. It is clear that Bill has tremendous love and affection for his son and he and his wife have done everything possible for their son, Chris. This is their story. - 📸 Via 📷: Unknown, tag to credit:! • (Dm for credit or removal / All rights® are reserved & belong to their respective owners) • 🛒𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗣 𝗡𝗢𝗪👆𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞 𝗜𝗡 𝗠𝗬 𝗕𝗜𝗢👆𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴🌎 • • • • #thepursuitofjoy #worldautismawarenessday #autismrocks #autismspectrumdisorder #autismparent #autismsupport #ig_autism #ilovesomeonewithautism #autismspectrum #autista #autismmoms #autismmommy #autismwarrior #thisisautism #autismus #specialneedsawareness #specialneedsmoms #autisticartist #autismtattoo #lightitupblueforautism #autismawarenesseveryday #autismfriendly #specialneedsfamilies #autismson #autismisreal #autismfamilies

From an autism sibling, please read and vote if you can! **Hi, my name is Angie. I am a junior in high school and I have an autistic twin brother. His name is Cory Webster. Cory is musically talented, plays soccer, does swimming, and is in a band. Although he is athletically gifted, life has been a challenge for him. He’s had to work harder than most to achieve the things we take for granted in life. He has also had to face things most of us do not have to face. Such as coaches that discriminate against him, students that bully him on a daily basis, teachers that do not support him, social disabilities and many other challenges. Recently, Cory has qualified for the WPIAL championships for swim and has been nominated by his swim coach as a nominee for athlete of the month. He has worked extremely hard to qualify for WPIALs this year, and we could not be prouder of him. It would mean the world to me if you would spread the word to everyone to vote for Cory.** - 📸 Via 📷 @_angie_webster_ • (Dm for credit or removal / All rights® are reserved & belong to their respective owners) • 🛍️𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗣 𝗡𝗢𝗪🔥𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞 𝗜𝗡 𝗠𝗬 𝗕𝗜𝗢👆🏻𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴✈️ • • • • #ig_autism #ilovesomeonewithautism #autismspectrum #autista #autismmoms #autismmommy #autismwarrior #autismkids #autismstars #autismadvocate #specialkids #actuallyautistic #ausome #autismtravel #autismquotes #autismsucks #autismtshirts #autismtees #autismspeak #autismmoments #autismkid #autismresearch #autisticboy #autismsibling #autismarmy #autismblog

Allison Brown considers that while autism brings struggles and challenges, children with autism are uniquely gifted to bring the light of hope to the world. “I am reminded by the precious gift of seeing the world through the eyes of autism that sometimes all we need to do is acknowledge the need for the other to be seen and heard, confirming their dignity and identity as a son or daughter of Jesus Christ.” I am so thrilled and excited to be back writing again for @catholicmomcommunity . This article was inspired by youngest. This is dear to my heart.

Educators and ASD Trusting your child's care with anyone can be scary, but as a mom of an asd kiddo - who is still learning to communicate and self advocate - there are many added layers of fear and anxiety. Will they be patient? Will they take the time to learn his language? Will they help him build social connections because he doesn't organically do it? I am one of a small percentage who can say we have been blessed, SO BLESSED! We have been fortunate enough to stay in the same school community since kindergarten, and he has built meaningful relationships with so many staff members and his peers love him! I was , and am, so grateful to everyone who has been a part of his experiance along the way. I had resolved to being thankful he has had such a great elementary journey, and to accept the social wins - the academics may or may not come but to take it in stride Junior has absolutely blossomed these last 2 years in particular. His language and reading skills blow my mind daily as I see how his brain works, and the incredible processes he's learned thanks to those educators who work with him and adapt to meet his needs. These educators build REAL relationships and are genuinely invested in helping him reach his potential. Thank you for all the body breaks, the calming techniques, the resources, the tools, the constant updates and communication. Thank you for the patience, the emotional investment, recognition, support, kindness and grace.🙏♥️ #autismawarenessmonth #autism #ourautism #ilovesomeonewithautism

Who Dat Wednesday One of our founder has the son in Dream League and wanted to give the organization a spotlight on our WD Wednesday. Established in Fall of 2006 and launched in Spring of 2007, from one’s family’s desire to share the game of baseball with those individuals with physical and/or intellectual disabilities.

While not every autistic person is, in fact, a visual learner, there is no question that visual aids, manipulatives, picture cards, video models, and related tools can be very helpful. What’s more, most such tools are relatively easy to find and/or make and are quite inexpensive. Nearly all autistic people have difficulty with spoken language. Some have no use of spoken language at all, while most can use spoken language but find it difficult to translate spoken words into meaning at high speed. This is one reason why even students with strong language skills may find support necessary when learning in a typical classroom. Visuals make it easier for autistic students and adults to understand what’s being said or taught without having to make sense of spoken words rapidly. Visual tools can also allow those with very limited language skills to communicate with others. Autistic people are usually quite literal in their thinking. In some cases, this can make abstract concepts very difficult to understand. Even words like up, down, under, and over can be difficult, as can phrases like “on the right” or “next week.” Visuals can make all of these concepts instantly understandable. Few autistic people are good at imitating the behaviors of those around them. As a result, they may not be aware of “unwritten rules” or behavioral expectations in their various environments. Visual tools ranging from social stories to graphics can help communicate important information like “be quiet in the hallways,” “sit down when you come in,” and so forth. Certain executive functioning skills, like telling and using time and organizing school materials, can be exceptionally difficult for autistic people. Visual tools, such as visual timers and color coding, can make all the difference.

There's a few days left in Autism Month 🥳♾️💙 and we are discussing Autism and IEPs across the ages... By high school (ages 14+) most autistic students have already been identified. However, at this stage additional differences may be noted including attention challenges (ADD/ADHD), mood/personality differences, and/or OCD. There is much to plan for in high school and ways to set up students for success: • maximize the IEP transition plan, where team members support the student with career and college exploration • speech/language therapy can support learning and practicing social expectations for job interviews, dating, classroom presentations, etc. • families can investigate limited conservatorship and power of attorney for students who may need support making decisions as adults Hope this is helpful! ~ The Sanford Autism Advocacy Group, www.sdautismhelp.com, 619.403.9097, [email protected]

An unexpected behavior is a behavior that other people might find stressful or could make someone feel uncomfortable in the situation. Unexpected behaviors could be a child talking loudly during circle time, running around during snack, or having a tantrum in line with the class. These unexpected behaviors can affect how others perceive the child and could lead to being in trouble. To increase expected behaviors, reinforce these behaviors when you see children engaging in them. Here are three things to remember when teaching clients or students about expected and unexpected behaviors. Do not skip over the thoughts and feelings. Perspective taking and interacting with others starts with children understanding their own thoughts and feelings. They need to recognize that with their thoughts and feelings, that other people have thoughts and feelings as well. If children do not understand this, then “expected” and “unexpected” has no meaning to them. Make your expectations clear. Let your children know the plan, so they understand what is expected of them. If you do not give them your expectations, it will set them up for failure and lead to unexpected behaviors. Listening to your body is important. The body is the part of communication that is often forgotten about. You use your whole body to move closer to people to indicate you want to communicate or join the group. If a child is not aware of what his or her body, then it makes it difficult to show his or her intentions to the group. This could increase unexpected behaviors, but the child is unaware of this. Expected behaviors are the socially aware behaviors that occur in everyday life like walking quietly in line or sitting for circle time. Unexpected behaviors can be considered tantrum behaviors or lead to tantrums for children. Instead of focusing all your attention on a child’s unexpected behaviors, pay attention to the expected behaviors. When teaching them it is important to include learning about the thoughts and feelings of others, listening to your body, and make your expectations for the child clear. increase your child’s expected behaviors and watch them grow socially.
I watched Challengers early yesterday with my girlfriend, and I have to say it's actually a really good movie. The movie was intense not only with the romance but also with the tennis scenes.

There are many ways to support neurodiversity, but I believe it all starts with a connection! Getting to know the person is the most important. Build a bind through connection and shared interests.

"This is believed to be the reason why children can learn a new language so easily. Learning to play a musical instrument is a pattern skill. It also involves using fine motor skills, which are controlled on the left. Computer games and video games are all about pattern recognition skills. The left brain loves computer games." The left brain is about systemizing; it’s linear and logical in its thinking. It likes to examine things one at a time and in order. It likes basic science and math and other logical pursuits. It is the thinking brain. It loves to do the same routine over and over. It hates new things. The left brain is very curious. It controls seeking and goal directed behavior. It is responsible for intelligence, especially verbal intelligence, and is more measured by traditional IQ tests than the right brain." 👉 Follow @drrobertmelillo ⭐ An excerpt from the book "Disconnected Kids" by Dr. Robert Melillo 🙌 Dr. Melillo's books are on Amazon and everywhere books are sold! . . . . . . . . . #melillomethod #autismawareness #adhd #adhdawareness #adhdbrain #adhdisreal #adhdlife #adhdmemes #adhdproblems #adhdsupport #anxiety #asperger #autism #autismspectrum #depression #differentnotless #education #ilovesomeonewithautism #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #occupationaltherapy #sensoryprocessingdisorder #teacher #youmightbeanautismparentif #pans #tourettes #aspergers #ocd #dyslexia #bipolardisorder

Trampoline jumping comes with several benefits for your physical health, including: 🩷Strengthening bones and muscles. 💜Easy on your joints. 💙Great for balance and coordination. 💛Helps in weight management. 🧡Excellent for your core. ❤️Improving heart health/cardiovascular system. There’s evidence that trampoline jumping can aid in the physical development of children with ASD. One study in Portugal found that “the trampoline-based training significantly contributed to the improvement of both the motor proficiency and strength of the inferior limbs” in autistic children. Sensory Skill Development: Trampoline therapy for ASD can also be a huge help in developing the sensory skills of individuals with autism. Trampolines serve to navigate the sensory processing stimuli (input and output) through movement. Besides the common senses (sight, smell, see, touch, hearing), bouncing on a trampoline helps with developing the vestibular and proprioceptive systems. The vestibular system is primarily concerned with balance and head movement, while the proprioceptive system is related to body awareness. Both are crucial skills that can be advanced with trampoline jumping. Motor Skill Development: Motor skills, like sitting, standing, walking, running and jumping, can be improved by trampoline exercise. A trampoline helps train balance and coordination, working multiple muscle groups simultaneously. It can also improve spatial awareness. Stress-Relieving: One of the major benefits of trampolines is they can be a place to relieve stress. Jumping is a form of stimming for autistic individuals. The rhythmic and repetitive bouncing motion can be calming and reduce anxiety. Mood-Enhancer: Lastly, bouncing on a trampoline can help lead to a positive mood state. Exercise releases endorphins, the chemical signals in the brain associated with happiness and well-being. Since jumping is fun for a lot of kids, it can help motivate them to get active and consistent exercise. Using a trampoline for education may help lead to better learning outcomes for those with ASD.
A sensory diet more specifically, is an individually tailored home and/or school, preschool or child care program of sensory and physical (‘motor’ or muscle) based activities. It is used to help manage a child’s sensory-motor needs and reduce the impact any such dysfunction may be having upon the child’s attention and activity levels, behaviour and/or learning and skill development. A sensory diet is used both as a treatment strategy when attention or behaviour is problematic as well as a preventative tool in advance of known behaviour challenges (exposure to known triggers, certain times of day or specific environments). As a child learns to self-regulate sensorily (their energy level, behaviour, emotion and attention) through the use of a sensory diet, skills such as concentrating, sharing and taking turns also become more mature more quickly. This enables a child to move from depending on others to beginning to manage tasks or situations by themselves. When a child has sensory processing dysfunction that requires management with a sensory diet, they might also have difficulties with: Following instructions. Understanding instructions. Working memory (retaining learnt skills). Getting to sleep and staying asleep. Taking risks in play (either excessive risk taking or being overly cautious). Accessing the preschool or school curriculum (due to inattention, poor behaviour). Academic performance (be this fine motor, literacy and numeracy, peer interaction, organization).

Parenting, managing conflict, avoiding arguments and reasoning with an autistic child can be very tough. Autistic kids may struggle with daily tasks like bathing or phone use and often need extra help and patience from carers, especially with conflict and relationships. Autistic children often enjoy arguing and feeling 'right.' However, it's important for adults to avoid arguing with them, as this can lead to increased distress and a need for control. Instead, offer choices and allow them time to calm down. When emotions are running high your child will not properly process what you are saying and just see it as confrontational and an excuse for more anger and arguments, meaning the situation will get worse if you pursue your point, not get better. Many autistic children have difficulty processing emotions and seeing how their actions affect others. If your child wants to argue over information that is wrong, just state the correct information once. Be really explicit with your instructions always. Don’t get upset if you ask your child to put clothes in the tumble dryer and they don’t turn it on – because you didn’t include that instruction in the request. Autistic children can find the demands placed on them very stressful. If you find yourself often arguing over a set task or something you have asked them to do, give them a choice to help them feel in control. For example, instead of ‘you must do the dishes and take out the garbage try ‘which do you want to do first, dishes or garbage?’. This gives them an element of control and reduces the demand you are placing on them. Or introduce a consequence, ‘you can either do the washing up or lose iPad privileges for tonight.’ Avoid ‘emotional blame’. Instead of saying ‘you are making me angry’, say ’I am angry’. Use indisputable information. For example, instead of saying ‘you need to go to bed because you have school tomorrow and you will be tired otherwise,’ which are not set-in-stone facts, you are likely to get the response ‘No, I won’t be tired’. Try saying instead ‘you need to go to bed because I am tired and need some time to myself’ – your child can’t dispute this.
Children with autism have adaptive behavior, adaptive response, and social interaction limitations. Play is usually significantly impaired in children with autism. Play therapy is mainly intended to help children to honor their unique mental abilities and developmental levels. The main aim of play therapy is to prevent or solve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal child-healthy growth and development. Play therapy helps children with autism to engage in play activities of their interest and choice to express themselves in the most comfortable ways. It changes their way of self-expression from unwanted behaviors to more non-injurious expressive behavior using toys or activities of their choice as their words. Play therapy also helps those children to experience feeling out various interaction styles. Every child with autism is unique and responds differently. Therefore, different types of intervention, like play therapy, could fit the differences in children with autism. Proper evaluation of the child is mandatory to evaluate which type fits the child more than the others. Despite weak evidence, play therapy still has potential benefits for patients and their families.
I don’t know how I forgot to post this 🤦🏽♀️ so this is my throwback Thursday post lol. Back in January I made a post from a message his teacher sent me. She told me that the kids have journals that they write things in and discuss them in front of his class. We both didn’t know if Riley would be to scared to do it, but to our surprise he went right up there and did it!!! This video was a few weeks later from the end of January bc she didn’t video him the first time. I was so proud of him 👏🏽🎉 For more content like this Follow ➡️➡️➡️➡️ @aur_journey ❤️💚💛💙 🧩 . . . . . -------------------------------- #autism #autismacceptance #autismmom #autismfamily #asd #specialneeds #autismspeaks #autismlife #autismlove #autismsupport #autistic #autismspectrum #autismspectrumdisorder #autismo #aspergers #autismparents #autismdad #disability #sensoryprocessingdisorder #differentnotless #autismparent #downsyndrome #autismjourney #ilovesomeonewithautism #specialneedsfamily #autismheroes #autismcommunity #SupportAutism #autismstars
