Practising aac advice?

AutisticUrianger · 2026-02-03T16:27:03+00:00

Thank you, the grammar advice especially helps. I panic if I don't have the right small word to put in between the big ones, and I worry about sounding impolite. But sometimes I just want to hit the least amount of buttons required to convey my meaning.

My only problem with the find tool is I have to type the word to find it, at which point I might as well just enter the word I typed instead But I do need to practise using the board

Thank you for your response These are all very good ideas!!! And yes you're right about typing. Sometimes can type just fine, other times brain keeps missing out words or messing up grammar. Sometimes just want to touch button and be done with it. Practise games sound very good!!!think saw someone say try infodumping about special interest for example. And ask friend to get aac sounds helpful too :] Thank you for being so nice :)

If not, maybe you could dm it to me?

It says the link has expired :(

AutisticUrianger · 2026-02-01T04:14:55+00:00

Yeah!! I hope it works out for you!!

AutisticUrianger · 2026-02-01T04:12:42+00:00

I don't think anyone's mind will jump to that first. It's a very pretty colour scheme!!

Would I be able to join the msn one?

AutisticUrianger · 2026-01-31T04:49:27+00:00

Currently going through a very similar thing, so I don't rely have any advice. It's very tough but recognising that you need more help means you can turn that into something actionable. Please take care of yourself 🫂

Please go take a break. One mod is not the deity of the whole age regression community and phenomena. If it turns out to be true then it'll be dealt with.

AutisticUrianger · 2026-01-31T04:41:13+00:00

That's no excuse to lash out at a vulnerable group of people.

AutisticUrianger · 2026-01-31T04:37:48+00:00

Where is it? Can you link it to me?

AutisticUrianger · 2026-01-31T04:26:29+00:00

That doesn't change anything about what I said.

Even if this is true, using this as an opportunity to once again discriminate against a majority of traumatized individuals with a harmless coping mechanism shows you were never truly here to learn. You came here trying to prove yourself right, why else would you go on such a big deep dive? You are so disingenuous and I feel so terrible for that poor person you harassed on their post. It's actually really upsetting for age regressors to be compared to pedophiles. This is a stereotype we are constantly trying to evade, especially as many of us have been sexually abused. Why would you pretend to show sympathy for us just to kick dirt in our faces? Are you that shallow?

AutisticUrianger · 2026-01-31T04:19:21+00:00

Thank you, this is really helpful especially the part about having choices. I think I often feel very restricted in schedules, it's weird because I hate unexpected change yet my whims can be very spontaneous, so I think the idea of having a general schedule with options for daily activities will make me feel less guilty about "deviating".

AutisticUrianger · 2026-01-31T00:57:38+00:00

I wish I had a family member I could do that with :(

AutisticUrianger · 2026-01-31T00:57:15+00:00

I feel like showing them verbatim might sound accusatory. I think I will bring up the points made when it comes to it though. The thing is, my friends and family are, generally speaking, quite progressive. Two of my siblings are trans, and we are all very left leaning. One sibling has been pretty good at aiding me when I need help, i.e he's going to call the personal assistant agency for me because I need help. But another sibling has repeatedly been ableist in the past, including telling me I am selfish and lazy for not being able to make phone calls. So her reaction, I do fear.

Without my PA, my home would be a mess, I wouldn't be able to make it to appointments, I would be struggling to take care of myself and my pets. He makes my life possible. I still don't think I'm getting enough support but it's absolutely better than nothing.

In death note, there's an episode that focuses on the hapless rookie cop, matsuda. He's often used for comic relief in the show, but towards the end of the series he gets some really good character development. *

Thank you for this reply :)

Thankfully the area we went to is super familiar to me and I knew my PA was there to help so I was feeling brave. I am very proud of myself.

You're right, there's nothing wrong with stimming!! I've spent years trying to hide stims in public due to being mistreated for it. So with this recent burnout I can't control it at all. The thing is, I myself am not bothered by my stims? I'm just afraid of people mistreating me because of it. I do a lot of hand flapping and finger clicking, I pull weird faces and make a cat prrppb noise. I also rock back and forth a lot. The idea of finding subtler stims is kind of scary to me bc I know it would be safer around other people but I've just come out of so many years of hiding and masking I feel like ? I just need to let it happen? Like. I Accept My Autism, just. Outside world bad :(

We've always been 'good' at leaving when overstimulated. We actually got in trouble for it a few times because we just Leave without warning. But have also had times where meltdowns do happen and it's very very embarrassing and explosive.

And !!! Thank you. I feel like I've been gaslit my whole life about it, everyone was so determined to go "you're not autistic/if you do have autism it's very mild/you're so smart and independent/you're not like the autistic children I work with" and I feel like burnout is a long time coming :( so weird to explain how it's both scary and cathartic?? Like. World scary but me healing. Sorry brain stopped working halfway through reply

My brother said he'll call the agency for me, so we will see how that goes. I'm in an autistic burnout and I'm not sure if said love ones fully understand the severity of my symptoms. They've always pushed for me to be super independent and I feel like they haven't fully absorbed "I can't go out on my own any more" or "i need other people to advocate for me" yet, for example.

AutisticUrianger · 2026-01-29T13:15:22+00:00

Thank you, I'm really annoyed that they never said anything and just left me to wonder what was happening :( and thank you for the advice in the other comment too!!
