Know the difference
This is a version in Canada of facts and statics on autism and suicide
So my review on Atypical so far !!!!
You know what they say if you have not met one person with autism you have not met one person with autism. So we all have some pretty mixed reviews on Atypical as someone who is autistic and didn’t want to watch it at first hand I was simply bored on things on Netflix and decided why the fuck not so the main character his name is Sam gardener he is an autistic person living with his mom and dad and his older sister Casey. While Sam holds a part time job at techtrobolous and goes to his senior year at high school. His mom and dad get into a fallout in there marriage by the mother cheating on a younger man which almost leads to separation. As for Casey the oldest sister her relationship or ships seem to crumple as well to a point to of going big or staying home I am not going to spoil anymore of the Netflix series but I highly recommend a watch

Holidays an autistic’s point of view
So let’s start with 2 of the well 3 to be on track dreadful yet sensory overloaded holidays that we dislike into some small degree thanksgiving day ,Christmas and new years when it reaches midnight ! Let’s break it down first off thanks giving is based off of genocide towards the indigenous people but this holiday is more based off in the years on white cis people faking to break supper and yet that shit was false . But , back to thanks giving imagine your whole family sitting at a table one holiday to say what I am thankful for right? What if just what if you had a young adult or child that is had food avoidance or can’t sit still or is non verbal and cannot communicate what they thankful for?
Secondly, let’s jump to Christmas for me bright and overstimulation with outdoor cold environments suck cause they can be a sensory issue but for some autistics lights are sensory seeking , also let’s not forget Santa and the photo opp at the mall this is a huge deal for autistic children that don’t like touch or the texture of fleece so think of other options on how the photo can be done and never force a Xmas photo on the family even when ur autistic child doesn’t want to and lets remind you socializing at holiday gathering is a bitch for us!
Finally, new years many cultures do not do ball drops like New York some countries do fireworks that can be loud and a sensory hell plus if u have autism and ptsd it a hell on wheels so think of a sensory friendly way to celebrate new years at the stroke of midnight
Autistic children of color and communities
We here about white cis male people on the spectrum but ….
Oh the things we shouldn’t say to an autistic?
Is autism related just like the movie temple grandin and rain man ? And does autism have a look? First of we look and act and say different thinks we are not the same like a line on the spectrum we are all different in our own ways we are not compared to Down syndrome or such birth defects .
My child is severely low functioning on the spectrum but then again my other child is high functioning ? Yes but I’m terminology functioning labels do attend to hurt us increasing low self esteem about us it only good when u have a diagnosis.
You don’t look Autistic ? Every I will say this again there are differences on the spectrum.
What is it like you know your autism superpower ? First off eww saying I have a gift I’m gods prayer or even a superpower is just a no the fact that I smell things in a different sense u think I have ultimate powers .
So should I say disabled or no ? Let’s cut to the chase disabled is not a dirty word use it to however liking.
Is special needs a good use of wording ? To call and label someone special needs is like saying is more highly offensive to me than saying disabled
So u like anime gaming and dnd ? Not everyone on the spectrum will have the same passion keep that in mind.
