This is what acceptance looks like. 8 years ago I would be thinking of schemes to get him to eat and spit out pits . Today I’m just getting pits out without questioning his reasons of why he can’t do that himself.

Exploring the Intersection of Family Resilience and Parenting Stress in ASD

Hello there, Tumblr community! Did you know that in the context of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), race and ethnicity have an effect on the relationship between parenting stress and family resilience? Let's get this party started!

Kim et al. (2019) shed light on the complex relationship between parenting stress and family resilience among parents of children with ASD in their study, emphasizing the critical role that race/ethnicity plays in this relationship.

Why is this important for the ASD community and interventions?

• Diverse Points of View

Understanding how race and ethnicity moderate these dynamics can help us gain a better understanding of the diverse experiences within the ASD community. This information is critical for developing more inclusive and culturally sensitive interventions.

• Handling Inequalities

The findings reveal significant differences between parents of white, African-American, and Hispanic children. To provide fair support and resources to families dealing with ASD challenges, these differences must first be acknowledged and addressed.

• Family Strengthening

Understanding how family resilience affects parenting stress emphasizes the importance of establishing strong family values. Giving families the tools they need to build resilience may help to alleviate the stresses that come with having an ASD child.

Spread the word and let's keep the conversation going!

Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all families touched by ASD.

Why Autism Awareness is Important

I sit here in the car, in the middle of nowhere, where there is no reception, as I write this. If you celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, I hope you had a good holiday. I’ve had something on my mind for a long time that I wanted to get out. This is kind of a personal rant, and I’m not usually one for using social media to run my mouth. 

I was diagnosed with autism when I was seventeen. Over the last two years I’ve known I’ve had it, I’ve done research and learned that autism is way more common than you think. It’s, like, one in fifty. They’re come to realize that autism varies between each person who has it, which is how they concluded its frequency. Autism was always one in fifty. I’m sorry if you believe a vaccine caused your kid’s autism. It didn’t, but whatever.

When I was in middle school, I met someone with autism for the first time. Along with the other students, I outcasted them. Meanwhile, the other students also outcasted me. I always knew I was different, but I didn’t think autism was the cause of it, even though it was. I wasn’t made aware of autism before meeting that student, and the same went for most of the other students. Had we been made aware of autism before meeting that student, would we have been so mean to them? Why aren’t students made aware of people who are different anyways? I always bullied different people because nobody made me aware of their existence or that that their differences were okay beforehand. 

For something as common as autism, students have to know the signs and know how to treat someone with autism. Unfortunately, most people with autism are not properly taught how to function in society. It’s the job of neurotypicals to teach us when we need to act neurotypical and how. I believe it is important for people with autism to know how to act neurotypical when they need to, and for the neurotypical people to help the people with autism when they are in an uncomfortable situation. If you see someone panicking at a situation people don’t normally panic with, they probably have autism or some other mental disorder, and they need help. Help them. They’re not stupid; they are just in a situation they’ve never been in and don’t know what to do. 

If you have autism, take advantage of available services. Find someone who will teach you when you need to act neurotypical and how. Your autism makes you unique, and you should embrace it, but it’s also important to learn social skills and how to get around in society. Don’t shield yourself from uncomfortable situations. The only way to define your limits is by going beyond them. Your best memories will come from doing new things. 

Have a great whatever time of day it is for y’all!

Around 3 million people in India are suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and the count is rapidly increasing, with one in every 60 children being diagnosed now, B.P. Lalitha, consultant psychiatrist of KIMS ICON Hospital said on the World Autism Day.

It is natural to feel overwhelmed, confused when dealing with a child on the spectrum. Parents might stress themselves out, frantically comparing their children, their developmental milestones, diagnostic criteria. Your child will learn and progress at their own pace and may connect with the world around them in their own way. We need to adapt to their unique needs and skills, rather then reject them for not fitting the norm. We are sure you are doing a great job by being your child's biggest cheerleader!

Don't hesitate to seek support when needed.

Courage. ・・・ Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway. – John Wayne ・・・ I try to make ‘Courage’ a part of every day. From many people having courage simply means getting out of bed in the mornings. For others, it means breaking out of their comfort zone and trying something new. For me, it means speaking up about discrimination against children with special needs, unfair treatment, bullying, and Police harassment. If you’d like to learn more please view the three minutes I was allowed to speak at The City of Aventura’s Commission Meeting. If you’d like to help, please comment on and share these links. 📲http://bit.ly/AventuraCharter 📲http://bit.ly/DadeSuspensions Speaking up for my child lead me to receiving threats from a City of Aventura Employee (The Charter School’s Principal), a Charter School’s USA Employee, and in several different instances, the City of Aventura Police Department. Not every Officer I encountered threatened me or broke the law, but at least 8 did. In some professions you simply cannot have ‘bad apples.’ 7, 8, and 9 year olds should not be expected to speak up for themselves- as I’m learning it takes mountains of Courage. . . #getonnit #stayonnit #advocacy #onnit #health #fitness #mentalhealth #asdawareness #charterschoolsusa #asd #fitspo #workout #bodybuilding #durability #autism #fitmom #training #awareness #health #community #strong #motivation #school #determination #crossfit #lifestyle #specialneeds #teacher #cleaneating #miami #speak (at Aventura City Of Excellence School) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnos7G2HJG2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bnm4e4eb275f

Exploring the Impact of Family Dynamics on ASD Quality of Life

Hello there, Tumblr community!  I recently came across an intriguing study that delves into the complexities of families with autistic children. Have you ever wondered how parental stress and family demographics affect the quality of life of these incredible families?

Important Findings

The study in the southwestern United States examines the relationship between parental stress perception, family income, education, gender, and marital status, as well as how these factors affect the quality of life for children with ASD in their homes. Parental stress and financial constraints were discovered to be significant predictors, emphasizing the critical need for specialized interventions (Hsiao, 2018).

Why is this relevant?

Understanding these relationships is transformative for ASD intervention strategies! It emphasizes the importance of identifying and reducing parental stress, as well as the impact that income inequality has on the quality of life in these families. Personalized assistance can have a significant impact, promoting positive outcomes for parents and children on the autism spectrum.

Let us raise awareness and advocate for treatments that address these critical issues so that all ASD-affected families can receive the help they require!

We went up to Asda at Cribbs Causeway this afternoon. Now don't get me wrong, I like Asda and I like the way that they introduced a one-way system to facilitate social distancing. Unfortunately the store staff completely ignore the one-way system and social distancing among themselves. The Asda staff should be setting an example for their customers.

In honour of #autismawarenessday on 2nd April @popadoodledesign and I are releasing our book ‘A Friend Like George’. It’s a book about friendship and the autism spectrum and how sometimes our friends can get a little overwhelmed at school. It shows what the teachers do to help and is designed to promote emotional literacy and understanding of the sensory difficulties many children face.

Different eyes 🤷‍♀️ So what? So many people are being put down, criticised and made to feel they dont belong, simply because they arent the same as others! - Who wants to be like everyone else?

“You are not in the mountains. The mountains are in you.” - John Muir Description of design: A circle of mountains with “ASD AWARENESS ACCEPTANCE” written over it. - We all have hurdles. We all have obstacles. And some of us have mountains. The world may consider autism as a mountain that cannot be climbed - but today, consider it as a mountain with a beautiful view. Whether you’re climbing it with SPD on your back or you’re already standing on top, basking in the sight of the world below - be reminded that ASD Awareness and Acceptance is the mountain that everyone should climb. And like John Muir said - we all have the power within us to accomplish it. - Sid from Assistees.com #asd #asdawareness #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #neurodiverse https://www.instagram.com/p/CKCOu1FsyXa/?igshid=6gq0nw9r1haj
