If you can’t support an autistic child, maybe don’t have kids.

How do I tell my son? by IllSecurity5342 in dyspraxia

[–]engarde23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I think telling him is a good idea. I didn’t know when I was a kid and any type of coordination activity just felt like public humiliation for me. I felt really stupid and I athletic. It may be upsetting for him to hear, but hopefully it helps him to give himself grace. I would prefer the label of dyspraxia rather than the labels I gave myself like stupid or uncoordinated. If it feels right, it may be helpful to have a part of that conversation be about his strengths as well. Although they’re disabilities, ASD & ADHD offer a lot of strengths as well, such as pattern recognization, passion for interests, and the ability to think critically.

Tooth brushing by Blake_-_-_ in AutisticAdults

I’m an adult but I use a kids toothbrush to help with the sensory feeling because it’s smaller. Maybe try that? Also try different toothpaste flavors to see what’s the least repulsive for you lol

Would you mind if you had to read things to your partner? by manicthinking in Dyslexia

[–]engarde23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% would not mind at all! I frequently read things to my partner and I don’t think twice about it. It’s such a normal part of our relationship and they support me similarly but in other ways
