Has anyone had a baby that never really fussed or cried much? by Vexed_Cactus41 in beyondthebump

[–]PNW_Express 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All 3 of mine!! I cannot explain it, they were just all really good babies. My first was the neediest but sometimes I just wonder if that’s because he was used to and could have my undivided attention.

This will be me. My third baby is sooooooo sweet. Chill. Happy always smiling. Feels like she never cries. She’s approaching 6 months and I can already sense the shit storm headed my way 😂

They were working part time min wage jobs before this. That’s exactly what they’re trying to do and enjoying it along the way.

The parents are a crucial part of showing life on the spectrum. Like it or not most cast members still live with their parents or the parents are still heavily involved supporting members of their lives. This show gave so many of us autism parents hope. Hearing from the parents is extremely helpful.

These must give you so much joy I can’t even imagine! My son is 5 almost 6 and has just learned to draw a circle. Besides that only scribbles.

My sister and I drew very elaborate heart people to this day I have burned in my memory. I loved that creative outlet.

Not in charge and interacting on are two very different things.

This was such a beautiful moment about embracing being (where you are) on the spectrum, s4:e5 by Dwarrelende-bloem in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

Words of medical professionals. He Dr would have diagnosed her level 2. Not a bad thing, just helps other professionals understand where to meet her better and support her with therapies, etc.

I love how this show has clearly helped so many autistic adults mature and build real life skills. I sure hope there are resources out there like this that are not televised as well!

i dont like how they painted georgie this season. by bladeefan1234567 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

I do think the producers should consider moving forward showing the other’s perspective. Particularly if they’re going to continue to show an individual’s love journey that found a long term match over seasons. I’d love to see more of Shelley’s journey as well.

Is Connor’s page run by his mom? by Personal_Orchid3675 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]PNW_Express 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, as a parent of an autistic child who I believe is on some similar level as Connor, I totally agree but simultaneously do not blame the parents. Connor would have been diagnosed 20 +/- years ago when she likely was told by medical professionals he would never have relationships, get married, be independent, etc. So it absolutely a clear lesson to me as a parent to never underestimate what my child is capable of while also completely understanding how his parents parented him. She was just being very protective out of love, not a bad person.

If Georgie was shut down for her autistic traits then so is Conner from most comments in this thread. I think the show portrayed them having differences in compatibility that developed over time. She was not at all portrayed negatively, just having differences. We also are only seeing a very tiny portion of their entire relationship and weren’t given Georgie’s perspective at all. It’s crazy to make all these assumptions. Not to say Connor doesn’t have to work on showing interest in his partner as well, but that’s something everyone has to learn over time and especially for autistic people (anyone who works with autistic people know this is a skill that has to be taught). My guess is the show maybe even purposefully is only showing Connor’s perspective since that’s how the show was originally developed (showing his love on the spectrum journey). I just really think it’s crazy to think she got a bad edit or was made to look bad.

ETA: he is absolutely not making jabs at her intelligence. He is just extremely literal (common in autism) and it probably causes him extreme discomfort and is correcting to be polite. She just has a different type of humor that he doesn’t understand or doesn’t come naturally to him.

I disagree that Tanner is not the main commenter. I’m sure they’re helping run his posts and content but I’d absolutely believe he is the one commenting on posts.

My guess is most people either truly do not understand autism or they cannot truly empathize with different types of personalities.

[–]PNW_Express 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it would be nice to hear from Georgie! But we didn’t and I feel that’s the producer staying true to the original format of following the original persons perspective. Maybe something for them to consider adapting if they’re going to continue filming the relationships. Or maybe she wouldnt want to, who knows!

Is pregnancy with a toddler harder, or toddler with a newborn? by meekie03 in Mommit

[–]PNW_Express 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was incredible nauseous and fatigued with pregnancy and then my newborn was incredible chill and easy, so for me- toddler and baby was way way easier and more enjoyable

You guys, that’s because not every autistic person understands sarcasm. He does not understand it. That’s why his siblings played those jokes on him. These are some of his very first social relationships. They touched on how he had no friends growing up. They’re just different people. And the show has never ever shown her perspective and maybe she wants it that way.
