This PD on individualism in childhood development is pretty good. One of the points the facilitator brought up is that western culture teaches independence & individualism while simultaneously robbing children of their autonomy.
@SassyE That and the one who didn’t just go through hormonal hell not supporting through PPD/PPA
Postpartum is a trip and now I’m in these groups and the stuff some women accept from their partners is beyond me
So when they get out of it I’m in full support
@Autistic_Lia I can’t do repetitive noises or touch
It literally hurts my ears or will irritate my skin
Tags suck
Strong smells (even if “pleasant”)
Microfiber cloths are evil
Certain food textures like how they feel on my tongue is worst than how they taste
@Aqualady6666 Private 100%
1. I have anxiety
2. Social media culture
3. There is additional pressure/stress put on the person being proposed to publicly (even if it’s just family), whether intended or not

You’ll see how things could’ve been and it will heal you at times
@VasperSunday I honestly think this is part of the rise in gentle/conscious parenting
Cuz as a new parent I’m seeing how it opens up a lot of childhood wounds and I’m connecting the dots on they impact me today, but my baby won’t have that experience. They won’t have those wounds.
*Whispers* the definition of genocide also includes the taking of a cultures children and/or enforcing that a people do not practice their own culture…
Ppl saying this, you are also supporting genocide…
And a lot of international adoptions are just “legally” buying children
@smileystylist @AnnMemmott If you’re on Facebook there’s a group called Ask Autistic Adults - a guide for parents of autistics
So you can ask ppl who actually live it and can tell you how helpful or disastrous something might be
