My Aspie Child

Life with a smart, loving, stubborn, funny kid on the spectrum.

This is fantastic. From my basic understanding of the concept, this is at the heart of Functional Behavioral Analysis... figuring out the WHY of behavior. “
How do I get an autistic person to X?" - You're asking the wrong question. https://t.co/WeVBnfsGfR via @wordpressdotcom

I'm not much of an elf fan, but @GwynneMiriam #AutismAwarenessElf is brilliant. The run up to Christmas isn't always easy and fun for everyone #AutismFamilies

Exchange b/t 8-yr-old aspie and a waiter. 8: We were supposed to fly out yesterday. Waiter: Oh, so your flight was delayed. 8: No, it was cancelled. Waiter: *shrugs* Well, that’s basically the same thing. 8: No. No it’s not at all the same. 😳😂 #MyAspieChild

Did you catch this subtle nod to autism representation at the #MacysParade? #HappyThanksgiving https://t.co/Sq0w3hv37r

Poor kid made himself sick this morning because he was so worried that he *might* get sick tomorrow. The anxiety is real, people!

#Autistic people often have motor difficulties, such as unstable posture or an uncoordinated gait. New findings suggest that their siblings also display these traits, but to a lesser degree. https://t.co/WDedivAGTg

Reading The Loving Push by @DrTempleGrandin. So much valuable information! If you have an Aspie/HFA kiddo I feel like this one is definitely worth your time. #MyAspieChild #TheLovingPush

I appreciate everyone has different views about behaviour/ exclusion. When I was DHT at my old school we did everything to hold on to a particular boy. He's just come on stage as a Sea Cadet at the B'ham Remembrabce Concert & I'm overwhelmed to see him. Never lose faith in them.

When you quietly ask yourself “what is the date today?” and before you can reach for your phone your kid yells from upstairs “The date is the 20th!!”.
Bonus: when I thanked him he yelled down “Anytime my fair maiden!”

Your kid might be an Aspie if...

You tell him he’s grounded from friends for the weekend and his immediate response is “YES! At least I still get to have TECHNOLOGY!” 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
