Recently worked out my family and I are #actuallyautistic. Life makes sense now. Blogging about autism.

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

@EdgeAutism @VoxVisual @ShonaDav Yes of course

@VoxVisual @ShonaDav Here is a transcript. Full of typos at the moment but I will fix that by the end of the day

This talk about the myths of autism is well worth watching if you haven't seen it. https://t.co/FUf2kDjxZo

@emmadimps It takes time to get into your routine I think. And better not to rush it.

@MsHeatherCM Oo we haven't tried that yet. Tomorrow's bedtime YouTube.

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

We also have a new special interest. Babies being born. We've watched many birth videos on YouTube. Humans or animals- not fussy ☺

New thing in our household. Social imagination! Daughter making her toys talk to each other. One said 'he's autistic so you can't shout'

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

Btw sorry I'm slow finishing off my challenging behaviour posts. I should have written them all before tweeting first one. Life got busy

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

4) Two big life decision made which may take a while to implement but hopefully means better life for all of us
I'm in a good mood at moment

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

2) They even were holding hands! Amazing.
3) Son started asking to do stuff like play tag in garden even though he had option of staying in

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

Good things have been happening in my house recently:
1) children have started playing together. I am not used to it but love watching them.

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

it IS possible to be autistic without meeting diagnostic criteria!
The fact there are multiple sets of criteria that change often proves it

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

depending on point in history, geographical location, which diagnostic criteria you use etc. This should not be controversial but...

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

Great post. The talk was fascinating. Autism isn't a social construct. It's a thing. It's separate from how we define it which is variable.. https://t.co/IVYOIFGScF

[still waiting for godot @VoxVisual]

Is #autism a purely cultural construct? https://t.co/wCkjMnILnR

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

@TTTAutism Can't remember details of calculations in that report tho I have skim read it I think. Rings a bell.

[Typicallyindividual @TypInd]

@TTTAutism No cos some of us add to economy. I work and employ ppl usually only recently it went wrong. But also some who get missed have MH issues
