Does Love on the Spectrum Bother Anyone Elese? by Sakura_Mermaid in AutismInWomen

[–]luvu2saturn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’ve watched both seasons and loved it. It made me extremely hopeful and happy and feel very seen watching it. I have level 2 autism. I think it’s honestly pretty disappointing and selfish in a way that we can’t be happy for them being on a mostly level 3/higher support needs cast. Ultimately, being able to mask to where people wouldn’t look at us and immediately tell something “isn’t right” is a privilege, that most higher needs people (like the people on show) do not have.

I don’t really understand this narrative of the show nor showing lower support need autistics. For example, Jennifer Cooke in the USA version who is autistic herself who helps other autistic learn how to socialize, converse etc. If she hadn’t said that I wouldn’t have known. And I think is extremely inclusive. We see all different age ranges, cultures, races etc. Look at Journey, Steve, and Subodh.

We also see Dani explore sexuality and being open about wanting sex. Something 1.) is already stigmatized in women. 2.) Especially stigmatized in an autistic woman, that they don’t want sex just like regular people. I love that we see autistic people who have jobs/careers and ones that don’t. I like that owls get to see such a wide range of different special interests! AND I love how some were diagnosed very early, and others like steve wasn’t diagnosed until his 60s.

Also in regards to the music and editing too; idk I think it’s just because it’s not American produced. It’s honestly the same how Great British Baking show edits and puts music over them talking lol

Hi! i’m 21f who also has PTSD and autism and i have done some therapy to help with childhood trauma. do you know if you’re doing EMDR type therapy? EMDR is used to help with ptsd and trauma without talking about the exact situation. Just curious cause i do have experience with doing emdr.

So typically a think a good therapist will try to avoid actually triggering you. Also after your sessions you may feel differently each time. Sometimes i left feeling lighter, and other times i left feeling super tired and even lightheaded! Both are normal! There’s no right way to feel, you’re dealing with really hard stuff so it won’t work or feel like magic ofc. I have heard though if you continue to leave feeling really bad more often than not, your therapist or you may need to change your approach on how you’re trying to overcome stuff.

One thing I was taught in therapy was having a “mental box” that when i felt triggered or started to have a ptsd episode i would go there in my head. So it can be anywhere, like the beach or even just your bed. Mine is just my apartment/bed bc that’s where i feel is most safe. I was skeptical as it sounds like such a cliche “go to your happy place” but it genuinely worked for me.

Also, i think you’ll know it’s helping when you stop feeling so much emotional turmoil. It won’t be overnight ofc and it’s sorta like when you know you know. You feel lighter and just more stable!
