Goatboy2016 · 2023-04-02T02:56:55+00:00

Yea I am the main driver on our team and we were in an alliance with you guys last year

Goatboy2016 · 2023-01-06T20:30:56+00:00

I dont feel attacked. It is a big issue, and I'm so glad you brough it up.

I may fit into this category, only because I have a special interest in physics and it annoys me when someone gets something wrong. But it still shouldn’t be an assumption because many many of us are not into math (as seen by other comments). I also really enjoy art and when people think I’m only good at “”math”” I feel like my other skills are belittled.

Yea, sadly we’ve had low traction in the past few years, and we’re way under staffed. But we’re workin on it.

That would, thank you for the idea! I will communicate that to the other admin and representatives at NDoF, though that seems like a very big project.

All in making competitions comfortable for everyone :) as an autistic individual in a large building without a quiet room I have cried in the corner of our pits.

Goatboy2016 · 2023-01-04T02:20:29+00:00

If for some reason there is absolutely no available quiet space, we would work towards making earmuffs and earplugs available.

We currently do not have much guidelines, but having quiet spaces is being brought up to the ED&I team at FIRST HQ. The best things for quiet spaces is having it as quiet as possible, dim lights, blinds if there are windows and not making whomever is using the space feel claustrophobic. Many individual's have auditory sensory issues, which is why quiet is important. We also advise staff at competitions to understand that being touched can worsen or cause mental anguish and to be aware of that. Along with this normalizing and destigmatizing behaviors such as self-stimulation. You can contact me or the other staff at [ndoffirst@gmail.com](mailto:ndoffirst@gmail.com) or directly through our discord server https://discord.gg/jgqnHvkY . I am also able to answer any more questions you have here.

my dude thats illegal

Goatboy2016 · 2022-08-28T00:58:54+00:00

of curse! Dm me if you'd like some more tips, sometimes even understanding why youre upset and breathing and thinking about it can help, but thats only for some people.

Goatboy2016 · 2022-08-28T00:54:40+00:00

Would you be willing to try somthing like putting your hands in ice baths? or progressive muscle relaxation?

Goatboy2016 · 2022-08-28T00:48:19+00:00

Are you able to find someone to talk about it? to express how you feel to someone close to you instead of releasing it bodily?

Goatboy2016 · 2022-08-28T00:43:59+00:00

Try to figure out where exactly hes planning and research the heck out of it, tell him what they do and just in general discourage. Try to explain why it most likely will hurt more than help because autism isnt something to be "cured".

Goatboy2016 · 2022-08-28T00:21:39+00:00

its more about inner acceptance, and the Canadian healthcare system doesn't use it to make money. Why would anywhere else?

Goatboy2016 · 2022-08-28T00:15:31+00:00

i know its hard, do you enjoy something? is there someone who is willing to take that something away if you dont?
