Autism support thread.

I don't think autism completely goes away, though. If you have a neurological disorder that is a result from something that happens during birth/the formative years chances are you'll have those symptoms for the rest of your life. If there's no cure for autism then it's certainly not a disorder that just happens to go away on its own even with rehab.

It's like with alcoholics, if they have kids they are also labeled as alcoholics no matter if they don't drink at all. It's part of genetics.

Last post on the matter because I do realize this might be a joke topic haha.

Yes, but that's the whole point of groups such as AA, is to help alcoholics recover, so that they'll be able to participate again in society and go to bars and drink, while managing themselves. Eventually, with AA then an alcoholic recovers and becomes normal.

If alcoholics weren't able to recover, then explain how they're able to go to bars all the time?

Tell her to post in this thread, and I'll be able to personally give her advice to manage her behavior and become normal.
 
They're a bit paranoid about this site, they think this a site run by ISIS and tried to hire a hitman to take Null out.
they though check it regularly, and rant about us being part of a Cis conspiracy
 
Autism doesn't have a cure, you fucks. That's something Autism Speaks says all the time.

You can manage it, but it can never be cured. You have it for life. Wildchild's DIAGNOSIS expired--that doesn't necessarily mean they don't have aspergers anymore.

I thought it was all a matter of avoiding vaccines.

I am incapable of feeling empathy for autistic people is this a paradox?

No, often times autistic people have difficulty distinguishing empathy or relating to others. Being autistic is normal though, and as long as you utilize your resources, such as this board which helps people with autism learn to build social skills and relate to people, then you'll be able to manage and potentially cure all your symptoms by managing and utilizing your social resources.

Have fun getting MMR.

I actually have all of my vaccines, I got a flu shot also, but I dislike flu-shots because often they have the tendency to make me feel ill. But, I approve of them even though I don't like them, because I have learned that it's not socially productive or good etiquette to refuse when someone offers you a flu shot.

I have autism. I hold only a few similarities to the character in “Rain Man.” When I am out on the playground, never say to my mother, “I would have never guessed that; he looks so normal” The face of autism is not a defined one.I have autism. This does not mean I am deaf, nor does it mean I can’t understand your words. When cruel things are said, it hurts just like it would anyone else. Sometimes even more, as I am very sensitive.I have autism. I am not blind. When you stare at me, point, and whisper – I don’t like it. I sometimes cannot control my emotions; however, I still can see you. I have autism. I am not spoiled, undisciplined, or disrespectful intentionally. Don’t tell my parents I just need to be smacked, as that would never work and I smack back! All I know is if I am being hurt I must defend myself. I have autism. This does not mean I am mentally delayed. I am very smart. I may focus on only a few things, but I have become an expert on them. I have autism. Don’t think I am not capable of love or am emotionally detached from the world around me. I am very close to my family and sometimes need to be hugged. I do have the capacity to care. Especially if I see someone else being hurt or teased. I have autism. I will line things up on the floor in my room in perfect order. This may be strange, but to me it is contentment. I can only relax if things are in sync. I have autism. Which means I am supersensitive to sounds; I hear all of them. Even the smallest of sounds. When I get overloaded with too many sounds at once, It is hard to cope and I must step away and be alone. This does not mean I can’t handle the world, I just have to have more time to tune out as I hear more than everyone. I have autism. I live by schedules. This is one of the ways I have found to cope with the chaos around me. Knowing what is going to happen at a certain time each day helps me prepare for transitions. That is why it is difficult for me to deal with a schedule change. I have to have order to obtain peace. I have autism. It is very important for people to mean what they say That is why joking with me is never understood. Things are black and white to me, like a set schedule. If you say you are going to turn blue in five minutes, I expect you to do so. So remember, having autism does not mean I am blind, retarded, unresponsive, incapable of love, or unable to function in the real world. I am unique and gifted because I have found a way to coexist within two very separate worlds. Take a moment to think about how many of us have difficulty within just the one world we live, now imagine juggling two. This is something I have learned to do. So forgive me if at times I have trouble separating the two, again I am only human. I often hear people say to my mom, “It must be so hard for you” – no one ever says that to me. In fact, no one expects me to understand or respond because of the face society has painted autism to be. I do not know all that autism is, but I know who I am. I am special, and cherished. Almost like a superhero I was set aside to have these unique abilities. They are not a disability. They are not something to fear. In a way they are magical. I have unlocked parts of my brain that others cannot.


When you look at me, don’t look at me with sadness or feel sorry for me. Look at me with wonderment and I will amaze you every time.

I used to get really upset over transitions in public, and it would cause me to scream, but I have found diverting my attention to music or books while in public places is helpful, It's hard to look at books while walking though, and I have almost walked in front of cars since I was looking at books, so be careful that whatever you use to help you with transitions doesn't overly distract you.
