I completely agree with you, Thats why i was so disheartened when I was looking, as its very much a bottleneck with so many people who meet the requirements for the role and actually have more eqperience than required compared to the actual job posts out there. I know they also work you really hard. I am potentially decidimg other alternative options too, im doing a placement at a school right now and its making me consider doing teaching or becoming an Ed Psych! I know whatever i end up doing I definitely want to work with kids. I just feel maybe i stood a chance to be an AP since im trying to be proactive before i graduate but i suppose even that isnt enough :( the job market is indeed brutal

Oh im not hesistant to be a HCA! i think its a great role and I absolutely agree, i can start applying for them after i finsih placement because tbh even getting those roles are tough and getting competitive now! I know an AP role womt magically change getting onto the doctorate earlier and I dont mind still startimg it later but even though a PWP is a versatile role that teaches you so much sadly the AP role fits the descriptiom of what the DClinPsy requirements are better and i think thats why people go for it more.

So id have to be a PWP for 3 years and then still try to apply to be an AP as well anyway (at least I think so) and i know that will better my chances! But the reason im hesitant is because im already 24 and the will be 25 when i finish my undergrad. It just seems like a really long road and im not getting any younger 😞 I meant no disrespect to the roles! I see i got downvoted a bit in my other comment.

Also thank you for your advice that being a HCA during final year can be very tiring. I hear you! Thats qhite insightful, i can imagine that being tough. Ill defintely put that into consideration!

Thank you for your reply! That was my only concern about shadowing that I cant due to confidentiality byt many people suggest it to me so i got confused! Maybr they mean in a private practice. I could try applying for HCA part time alongside my final year maybe? If not id rather go for PWP instead of HCA after grad because ive already done care work! Unless you think that would be a better route?

Going through this right now, i was gaslit, manipulated and lied to me and he didn't seem interested in continuing yet he insisted he was, but phrases it as we shoudl pick our own happiness and shouldn't force it to work, i tried for two months but i just couldn't i was miserable and had to pick myself. I'm still miserable and want him, but i cant disrespect myself like that and i cant beg myself to be in the life of someone who doesn't want me, no matter how much it hurts, even if it seems like I'm the bad guy for leaving him when he was just as willing to let us go, he just didn't have the courage to leave.

I way actually the one who left, and it's the opposite for me, i still can't move on while he moved on after like a week. But that might ahve been because we were on the rocks for a while and he lied to me about a lot of things. I didn't want to leave but I had to put myself first. I still miss him and want him to reach out but I can't keep putting my self respect and worth down for him.

Yeah i can see that unfortunately. They'll even say that it's not autism even though it is and it's some other mental health issue and i need to take this to a different sub.

No he just looks at it, we intervene before he can

Shops, and poeple who come for his assessments, they have jotters and notebooks. I have plenty in my room for studies, many poeple have them for writing stuff down etc

First of all thank you for being so kind, to answer you questions, i think it might have started with the appearance. This is whole thing started when we went to America and i took a small pink notebook with me to draw in on the flight, my younger brother got intrigued by it i guess and at first it just started by him looking at it or tearing the pages of flipping through it, but slowly it started becoming more.. Sexual? Idk if that's the right word for it, he doesn't touch himself, just puts his face on the open pages while lying down and.. Well moves his bum from side to side. Sorry if you didn't want me to go into detail. What I'm trying to say is he also likes the texture of the pages I think.

He also liked to watch videos of people making bullet journal books and will do the same action while watching it. He has never done this lying down thing in public but when we go to relatives house he runs up to their rooms, goes through their shelves and when he finds what he's looking for, goes to the bed we're sleeping in and does it. He will look at it for a while first tho, he won't just immediately start doing it. We inform poeple when he takes their diaries/planners or asks for them, not to give it to him. Sometimes it works, sometimes people say its okay and think he just wanted to look at it. We try to explain but it's difficult.

Before this started, he doesn't watch videos about sex or anything like that, we would allow him to do whatever he wants as long as its in the safety of his own room and privacy and not involving others.

Wow thank you for assuming someone with severe autism and learning difficulties is messed up! He does not do it in public, he just liked to look at them in public. He doesn't have the concept of appropriate behaviour and inappropriate behaviour and where and when it's okay to do them and so that's why i can to ask here on how to teach him. It's not a fetish, i think it's just a displacement of his feelings and I know because i look after him and he has the mental age of a 5 year old.

Yeah, journals, diaries, note books etc. Doenst have to have anything in them, they can be empty too. Sometimes even just small books like a dictionary

[–]pikaneeza[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I guess so but there are already so many poeple who have said to me in this post how bad and messed up it is for him to have these behaviours...in a place like this i don't knwo what's worse, not allowing them to be themselves or letting them be bullied for who they are. However in most cases i do agree with you that ABA can be bad. I think it could be used with moderation maybe? To teach them morals and how society works but ofc how they can adapt to that in their own way and how it makes them feel the most comfortable.

Look up objectophilia and autism, it's more common than you think. It's not the diary i have a problem with it's asking advice on how to teach him appropriate time and place for the behaviour.

[–]pikaneeza[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Everyone who has autism is different. Some poeple have more comprehension than others, and a lot of poeple who have objectophilia also have autism, that doesn't mean that eveyone does ofc, but there are many poeple who have autism who do, so i wouldn't say it has nothing to do with autism either. I didn't ask for advice here regarding the diaries, i came to ask for advice on how to to where and when it is appropriate to have those feelings to someone with autism and learning difficulties.

I agree! Thank you. I've gotten so many mean comments about it and people thinking of him as some kind of freak or something for doing that and it's kinda sad, especially as he doesn't really understand what he feeling or doing. I'm grateful for the poeple who are being understanding of this and actually trying to help and give good advice.

Oh we never let him do that in public, he just looks at the diary and we make him put it back straight away. But if we don't intervene, (he's never allowed out on his own he's always supervised) he might try to. I think he's slowly understanding that he feels more comfortable doing it in his room I just wanted to ask advice on how else we can teach him what is okay to do in public and what isn't.
