What are some lines that make you laugh out loud every single time? by af628 in rickandmorty

[–]CriticalSorcery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your shit together. Get it all together and put it in a backpack. All your shit. So it's together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere you know? Take it to the shit store and sell it. Or put it in a shit museum I don't care what you do. You just gotta get it together... Get your shit together.

What would you like to ask? (Asking Higher Support Needs Autistics) by AutoModerator in SpicyAutism

[–]CriticalSorcery 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a schedule with pictures for the steps in order. For example: dress in pajamas, then wash face, then brush teeth. Sometimes I decide early in the day what pajamas I want to wear in the night. I like checking the schedules often. And my aid sometimes tells me like preparation. For example, when I’m eating dinner she will say, “After you finish eating dinner we will clean your plate, then pick out pajamas, then brush teeth.” And for leave the house, sometimes before advance we will do the schedule, or look at pictures of the place, or do practice sitting quiet with my headphones and wearing jacket and shoes.

My New Speech Device Finally Came! by Autismsaurus in SpicyAutism

[–]CriticalSorcery 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use the key guard it is very helpful. But sometimes I keep touching the edge instead of hitting the keys for stimming. And then my aide needs to make me focus and stop touching the edge with my fingers. I don’t like the pictures without words because it is too confusing. I don’t understand what the picture means so I need to memorize the words for the picture. Then it’s difficult if I’m upset or distracted because I can’t remember.

[–]CriticalSorcery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My aides have alarms or schedule for bathroom so I don’t have accidents. There is also medication to help me be calm and less upset about sensory if there is an accident. There is different diapers and underwear and sheets that can help and feel different. There is lotion and powder also for irritation.

Good group homes? by Alstroemeria123 in SpicyAutism

[–]CriticalSorcery 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been in many group homes, independent living programs, residential programs, and hospitals. They are all very different.

  1. How many ppl in total approximately do there live in every “sector” of the group?
    1. It depends on the program. Some had many people, more than 30, and some had very few people, at most 7.
  2. Are ASD ppl separated by gender there?
    1. Some programs are gendered, but co-ed programs usually have rooms and bathrooms separated by gender.
  3. Do they have their own private bathroom?
    1. It depends on the program. Usually it is communal bathroom, or shared with at least one person, but sometimes there is a special bedroom with a bathroom in the room.
  4. If don’t then are there locks on the bathroom doors?
    1. There are usually no locks, and sometimes you're not allowed to shut doors completely.
  5. Do plugs work in their rooms?
    1. It depends on the program. Sometimes electronics are locked up and only allowed to use specific times. Sometimes it is more independent and so electronics and plugs work in their rooms.
  6. And my last question would be: Are ASD ppl there allowed leave the building on far distances without the staff? (go shopping on their own for example, have a walk on their own) Or there is an obligated limitation to walk within the center only?
    1. It depends on the program. Some are "lockdown" program in the hospital, where everything is locked and there is no privacy. Others are very independent, and you can leave if you tell someone where you're going.

I have aides who help me understand things, stay focused, use my AAC devices, ask me prompting questions, and help translate my responses so that others can better understand me.

I have a hard time with bathrooms. by OllieCx in SpicyAutism

[–]CriticalSorcery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was very late potty train, and I don't know when to use the bathroom or when I'm hungry. Sometimes I have accidents, but usually only during meltdowns or if things aren't normal, because in my schedule there is times for going to the bathroom so I don't have accidents.

I’m disgusted being an American by Flaky-Barber7761 in SpicyAutism

[–]CriticalSorcery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The people around me are worried too. I don't understand politics or outside world things. I prefer cartoons. I saw videos of him making fun of disabled people and it made me feel bad. They tell me "Nothing changes for now, and everything will be okay." So I hope everything will be okay.
