PREP WITH VISUALS 🎯✨

For Autistic kids, knowing what to expect can make new experiences so much smoother. Before events like birthday parties, use visual guides and talk through the details—what they’ll see, how activities work, and what comes next. This simple prep can build confidence and reduce overwhelm. How do you help your kids feel ready for new situations? Share your tips!

EMBRACE UNIQUE ROUTINES 💡✨

Parenting an Autistic child means honoring their unique patterns and timelines. Their needs—like when to rest, study, or engage in activities—might not align with neurotypical routines, and that’s okay. Whenever possible, let their natural rhythms guide their schedule. Flexibility helps them thrive, even if it looks different from their peers. How have you adjusted routines for your neurodivergent child? Share your insights below!

SUPPORT EMOTIONAL REGULATION 🌟💆‍♀️

For Autistic kids, understanding nervous system regulation is key. They often live in a state of overstimulation, so helping them find calm is essential. Encourage stimming, teach EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), and explore meditation—there are plenty of free options for kids on YouTube. Even intentional breathing can make a huge difference. These tools aren’t just calming—they’re empowering. What has worked for your child? Let’s share and support each other!

EMPOWER KIDS WITH WORDS 💬✨

Giving kids the right labels, like Autism or , isn’t about labeling them as “different” but giving them tools to understand themselves. Without these words, they might feel misunderstood or mislabeled as lazy or stubborn. Teaching terms like sensory overwhelm, demand avoidance, meltdowns, and shutdowns helps kids make sense of their experiences. It’s never too early to give them a vocabulary that empowers! What words have helped your child thrive?

PARENTING NEURODIVERGENT KIDS 💡✨

autistic and neurodivergent kids is not one-size-fits-all. Just like Autism, every child’s needs are unique. Strategies that work for one child might not work for another, and that’s okay! Age, personality, and environment all play a role in how we parent. Remember to give yourself grace and flexibility as you figure out what works best for your family. Let’s share resources and support each other—what’s helped you on your parenting journey?

DELAYED PROCESSING IN AUTISM 🧠⏳

Ever been in a conversation and realized later you didn’t fully understand what was said or didn’t express yourself clearly? Delayed processing is common in autism and neurodivergent individuals. We often need time after an interaction to reflect, process, and make sense of the conversation. This can lead to some challenges, but it’s just part of how our brains work. Do you relate to delayed processing? Share your thoughts below!

23/12/2024

COVERT STIMS EXPLAINED 🤫✨

Autistic people are often associated with outward stims, like hand flapping or rocking. However, many neurodivergent individuals engage in covert stimming, such as tapping, blinking, or fidgeting. These subtle behaviors help release built-up energy and manage overwhelming sensations. It’s a way to process everything happening internally. Covert stims might not be as obvious, but they’re just as important in maintaining balance. Do you relate to covert stimming? Drop a comment and share your experience!

22/12/2024

DEMAND AVOIDANCE EXPLAINED 🚫✨

Demand avoidance is a term that resonates deeply within the neurodivergent community. While no one enjoys being told what to do, for neurodivergent individuals, it can trigger emotional dysregulation and make us feel overwhelmed. This is especially true when tasks feel imposed rather than chosen. It’s important to understand that demand avoidance can also stem from a desire for autonomy – the need for control over our environment and decisions. Recognizing this can help us navigate interactions more effectively. Have you experienced demand avoidance? Let’s chat in the comments!

21/12/2024

REJECTION SENSITIVE DYSFORIA 💔

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is something that many neurodivergent individuals, especially those with Autism, experience. It’s not just about feeling rejected—it can cause an overwhelming emotional response that affects focus and even shuts us down completely. When faced with criticism or feedback, the emotional weight of it can make it incredibly hard to regulate and get back on track. If you've ever felt like criticism was too much to handle or couldn't move past negative feedback, you might relate to this. Exploring RSD could offer some insights into your emotional responses and help you navigate those tough moments. Drop a comment if you’ve experienced something similar and let’s talk about how we cope.

20/12/2024

WHY ALONE TIME MATTERS 🧠💙

As an autistic person, I often need a lot of alone time to recharge and process things. It’s not about avoiding people or being antisocial; it's just how I can regulate and come back to a balanced state. Neurodivergent folks, do you ever feel like this? It’s all about taking the time we need to reset and be the best version of ourselves. Drop a comment if you relate! 💬

19/12/2024

EXECUTIVE FUNCTION STRUGGLES 💡

Executive functioning is a challenge many neurodivergent folks, including those with Autism, face. Planning, organizing, and following through can feel overwhelming. It’s a shared experience in our community, and recognizing it is the first step toward finding tools that help.

What strategies help you manage executive functioning challenges? Share below!

POWERFUL EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES 💔

Autism often comes with powerful emotional experiences paired with challenges in expressing or regulating those emotions. Many of us experience alexithymia—the difficulty in putting feelings into words—which can make navigating these intense moments even harder.

Have you ever felt something so deeply but struggled to explain it? Let’s share and support each other in the comments below. 💬

HYPERFOCUS SUPERPOWERS ⚡

One of the unique strengths of Autism is hyperfocus—whether it’s diving deep into a special interest or a sudden whim like learning to build a windmill overnight! This ability to master information (and sometimes info dump) can amaze and, let’s be honest, overwhelm those around us. But hey, it’s part of our magic!

What’s the most random topic you’ve hyperfocused on recently? Share below!

UNDERSTANDING SENSORY DIFFERENCES 🌈

Sensory experiences can vary widely for neurodivergent people, including those with Autism. Some of us may hear subtle sounds like electricity in walls (hypersensitivity), while others might not feel intense touch or pain (hyposensitivity). These differences shape how we interact with the world—and that's okay!

How do you experience sensory input? Let’s chat in the comments!

CELEBRATING DIFFERENT BRAINS 🧠

The concept of neurodiversity changed everything for me. It’s the idea that differences in how our brains work—whether Autism, ADHD, or other ways of thinking—aren’t deficits but part of the rich diversity of humanity. There’s no “right” way to process or experience the world, and that’s empowering.

It’s been five years since I started exploring my place on the autism spectrum, and embracing these strengths has been life-changing. Neurodivergence deserves admiration and inclusion. 💙

PARENTING IN FLEXIBLE MODE 🤹

As an autistic parent, staying in "flexible mode" is often my go-to—especially around my kids. Diving into "safe mode" can make interruptions way harder to handle, and transitions between these modes? Wow, they take so much energy. This realization has helped me give myself more grace when I feel drained.

Anyone else relate? How do you balance these energy shifts in your day? Let’s share in the comments!

BALANCING TASKS & ENERGY 💡

Ever feel like you're stuck deciding between giving a task your all or just skimming the surface? Same here! As an autistic creator, I constantly weigh the cost of diving into hyperfocus versus staying on schedule. It's a delicate balance, and honestly, the mental tug-of-war can be so draining.

How do you manage this in your life? Let’s exchange tips in the comments—your approach might be a game-changer for someone else!

FLEXIBLE MODE VS. SAFE MODE 🧠

Ever feel like your brain has "two settings"? Mine does: flexible mode and safe mode. In flexible mode, I’m ready for surprises and interruptions, but I can’t dive deep into meaningful work. In safe mode, I’m protected to focus but feel more vulnerable. Balancing these is a journey—one that makes so much more sense now that I can articulate it!

How do you manage your brain's modes? Let’s share strategies in the comments! Autism brings unique perspectives, and your insights could help others too.

TRANSITION STRUGGLES? YOU'RE NOT ALONE! 🚪✨ Transitions can be tough, especially for those of us with autism or other forms of neurodivergence. Whether it’s sitting in your car before going inside, zoning out in a doorway, or feeling agitated after work, these moments often come down to our nervous systems being on high alert. 🌟 Shifting from one environment to another takes more energy than it seems, but understanding why can help us approach these moments with more kindness toward ourselves. 💙 What strategies do you use to navigate transitions?

TALKING ABOUT SEX DOESN’T HAVE TO BE AWKWARD 🗣️❤️ When your partner talks about sex, it might feel critical, but remember—they’re having the conversation because they care and want to strengthen your connection. Vulnerability is part of the process, and while it might bring up some hurt feelings, keeping an open mind can make a big difference. For those of us with Autism or unique sensory needs, navigating this can feel even trickier, but there’s no rulebook, and that’s okay. Laugh at the awkward moments, embrace the messiness, and focus on building intimacy together. What helps you stay open in vulnerable conversations?

STOP FAWNING IN THE BEDROOM 🚫💋 If you're someone who often tries to please others or hide your true feelings, especially in intimate situations, it's time to stop. Your needs and wants matter, and it's important to be honest about them. It might feel awkward at first, but being open about what you want can make a big difference, whether it's in the bedroom or in any relationship. Don’t feel pressured to go along with something that doesn’t feel right, and remember, your emotional well-being matters.
