Friends, you know how you feel so bad and incapable--and "disabled"--about your perceived inability to rise up in the System?

What if I told you NO ONE actually does?

This entry--while discussed from my experiences navigating dating & romance--are about how the majority of advice we get from the Normies....ISN'T usually up to par for us; not that we want "pity" necessarily, but we need something more....than the Normies can offer us. Read on for more :)

I talk about my Godson's Third Birthday Party here, but I include a lot of important updates--including one very much tying in to one aspect of it--and I think you folks might really enjoy it, and how all the updates relate to our community:

Latest blog entry, and I want to thank Edgar the Alchemist on Youtube, and TheRealKimShady for major pointers; This entry dives into a TikTok video I recently posted, AND its connection to an important reason I believe not only are we socially ostracized, but how said ostracization can BENEFIT us:

Friends, you want to know another reason you have trouble taking in the "shared experience" with Normies? Because your mind is wired to see inconsistencies in the product--and build up to it--long before it's actually trending; it's actually another advantage to our abilities to help us stay "ahead of the curve", but....feel free to read, for more elaboration ;)

Latest blog entry, and I tackle "ableism" here, albeit wasn't originally intending to:

Very good news for my Autistic friends: another reason you don't "pick up" on body language...is because it's actually not a universal thing, and any attempts to make it that....wind up diluting it. Wanna know more? Check out my entry :)

Hello r/AutismBlogs community!

I am thrilled to share a new blog post with you all, especially those who want to learn more about autism in girls. Our latest article, "Understanding Autism in Girls: A Comprehensive Guide," explores the unique challenges and experiences that girls with autism face.

In this guide, we discuss the often subtle and overlooked signs of autism in girls, the diagnostic challenges they encounter, and the importance of recognizing and supporting their specific needs. We have gathered insights from experts, firsthand accounts and the latest research to provide a well-rounded perspective that can enlighten and empower parents, caregivers, and individuals.

Autism is different for everyone, and girls have been underdiagnosed for a long time due to stereotypes and biases. Our guide is an important step towards changing this narrative by providing valuable information that can help understand, support, and advocate for girls with autism.

I encourage you to read, share, and discuss this comprehensive guide. Your thoughts, experiences, and insights are invaluable to us and the broader community. Let's continue to support each other in fostering a more inclusive and understanding world for individuals on the spectrum.

You can read the complete guide here: Understanding Autism in Girls: A Comprehensive Guide.

Ok....so you feel like you're rejected by everyone; no one wants you, no one understands you, no matter what you do, it seems to leave no impact, right? You could literally do everything "right", and they'll forget it tomorrow, correct?

No.....not even close, there is a lingering feeling about it, and I discuss that HERE:

Latest blog entry, and a special thanks to the Oscars, Hasbro, Fruit Of The Loom , and the NYC Tunnels for this one:

https://gettingrealwithautism.wordpress.com/2024/01/24/i-just-made-you-say-underwear/

So the Oscars "slap" was staged, and it turns out we DIDN'T remember the Fruit of the Loom logo or the Monopoly guy wrong, but AUTISTIC folks are the ones with no body language skills & other deficiencies?

I never thought the movie Grease would give me so much good fodder to explain why we're wasting our time trying to impress Normies, but here we are; enjoy!

Hello Reddit Community!

I'm excited to share a recent blog post from 101autism.com titled "Assessing Autism Through a Monotropism Lens." This article delves into the concept of monotropism, a theory that provides a unique understanding of how autistic individuals process information and focus their attention. Moving away from the pathologization of autistic traits and instead highlighting the unique ways in which autistic individuals experience and engage with their environment.

Monotropism, a term coined by autistic scholars, suggests that autistic people have a tendency to focus intensely on a small number of interests at any given time, which can significantly influence their behaviors and interactions with the world. This theory offers a fresh perspective on understanding autism, moving away from the pathologization of autistic traits and instead highlighting the unique ways in which autistic individuals experience and engage with their environment.

The blog post explores how recognizing and embracing the monotropic mind can lead to more effective support strategies and a deeper appreciation of the autistic experience. It's a thought-provoking read for families of autistic individuals, educators, therapists, and anyone interested in gaining a more nuanced understanding of autism.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences related to this topic. Have you observed monotropism in action? How has understanding this concept impacted your approach to supporting autistic individuals?

Join the discussion and share your insights! Let's create a supportive and informed community that celebrates the diversity of the autistic experience.

Hey! Im new to all this.

Started a blog last week. Help to process my thoughts and feelings as i navigate this world of being diagnosed Autism.

One of my first entries was documenting my journey with getting diagnosis (see link)

I also have a entry being posted on Wednesday regarding my opinion on social media influencers and neurodevelopment disorders, if anyone is interested in reading that.

Would love to hear any tips or tricks?
