Legal Rights for Individuals with Autism

 Some people would not realize that there are legal rights for individuals with autism. So basically, their legal rights are about the same as people without Autism. They have all the rights that we have and I believe that it should be that was for anyone.

Living with Autism: Daily life and Challenges

 Explore the day-to-day experiences of autistic individuals. Discuss common challenges and coping strategies. Provide advice on navigating social interactions and relationships. This brings us back to the key takeaways of Autism. Communication challenges, sensory sensitive, and routine and structure.

As an Adult Living with ADHD

 Hello, in this post I'll be talking about ADHD as an adult.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) isn't just a condition confined to childhood; it can also continue into adulthood, promoting its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. While often ADHD is misunderstood or overlooked, ADHD profoundly impacts a variety of conditions of adult life, from work to relationships and everything in between. In this blog post, we'll dive into what it means to live with ADHD as an adult, approaches to managing its symptoms, and how to develop despite its challenges.

Understanding Adult ADHD:

ADHD doesn't just disappear once you reach adulthood. While the symptoms demonstrate differently or are manageable by age, it'll still significantly impact their life. Adults with ADHD may struggle with:

• Time management- difficulty prioritizing tasks, staying organized, and meeting deadlines
•  Attention- trouble focusing on tasks, being easily distracted, and frequently shifting between activities 
• Impulsivity- acting without thinking of the consequences, interrupting others, or making impulsive decisions 
• Emotional regulation- experiencing intense emotions, mood swings, and difficulty controlling reactions 
• Hyperactivity- Restlessness, fidgeting, and constant need for stimulation 

These are some of the things I struggle with as an adult who has ADHD.

In conclusion, living with ADHD as an adult offers a set of unique challenges, but with the right strategies, support, and mindset, I can learn to direct their daily lives more productively and even thrive. By understanding my symptoms, searching for the appropriate treatment and support, and leveraging my strengths, adults like me with ADHD can lead accomplishing and successful lives. Remember, ADHD is just one aspect of who I am, and with the right tools and support, I can achieve my goals and ambitions.

Focus on Strengths and Abilities

 You should highlight the strengths and unique abilities of autistic individuals. Avoid framing autism solely as a disability or deficit. My opinion with this from experience because of my daughter's dad. He liked to frame his self with his disability which did not help him at all. We ended up breaking up and now he doesn't even talk to me about our daughter. He says its due to his autism and everything that he thinks differently, he also doesn't have feelings. It's very difficult to communicate with him when he doesn't want to talk about our daughter specially when we aren't together as a couple now. I'd like to know if anyone else has had this experience with their loved ones.

Diagnosis

 This is based on behavioral assessments by specialists, often including developmental pediatricians, neurologists, and psychologists. Screening tools like the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) are commonly used. Early diagnosis, often around 2–3-year-old, can significantly impact intervention and support.

Key Features of Autism

The key features of autism are social interaction difficulties, challenges in understanding and responding to social cues, difficulty in developing and maintaining relationships, limited use of eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures. Communication difficulties, delayed language, development or lack of speech, difficulty in initiating or sustaining conversations, repetitive or rigid use of language. Repetitive behaviors and restricted interests, repetitive movements such as hand-flapping, rocking, or spinning, strict adherence to routines and resistance to change, intense focus on specific interests or topics. Sensory sensitivities, unusual responses to sensory input, such as over-or under-sensitivity to sounds, lights, textures, or tastes.

Education

 Access to support services play a pivotal role in empowering families and individuals with autism. To early intervention programs to specialized therapies, accessing resources can significantly enhance the quality of life for those affected by autism. It can be daunting through the landscape of support services and requiring resilience and perseverance.

Mental Health

 Like in my other posts the people that have the disorder suffer from depression and so many others. Some people are an aware of the likeliness of that person having some spectrum of Autism. I have found out with researching about this ADHD is a spectrum of Autism. Which if I remember correctly my brother has ADHD. I'm not one hundred percent sure how he is doing because we have lost touch in the past years. I remember growing up we were never to close we are a few years apart in age I'm the youngest of all my siblings. I am going to set a link I just found that you can look up meetings and events on the website. I believe it would be nice for those who are learning or need a little more support.

Autism Awareness Month

 Hey everyone so I posted about the ribbon awareness which is blue. This post is for the month of awareness which is in April every year. Its to bring awareness to the disorder for others who aren't aware of it. I'd like to post this one so people can understand it better and be aware of when that month comes. The page I am about to link is helps raise awareness and it also has a donation option for those would like to donate to the cause or not.

Autism Awareness Ribbon

I had no idea about the Autism awareness ribbon. I just found it while searching things to post about Autism so here is the reason for it. The ribbon is primarily in vibrant blue shades. It stands for hope, solidarity, and support for those affected by Autism.

Celebrating Differences

Even though we know Autism can present challenges, it also brings unique perspectives and strengths to our family dynamic. Autistic partner's attention to detail, unwavering dedication, and passion for routine have enriched our lives in countless ways. Celebrating our differences and embracing neurodiversity, we have created a home filled with love, understanding and acceptance. 

Routine and Structure

 For anyone dealing with Autism in their family please come up with a routine and structure. It makes it a lot easier for that person and benefits the family. My relationship has turned for the worse because of not having this. I have also decided that if that person doesn't want to try and work with routine and structure, they aren't ever going to and its sad because they're going to miss out.
