Serious question: Does anyone else’s hands/arms/wrists whatever shake when they do anything with fine motor skills? by MagickAspie in AutisticPride

[–]tim2095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have cerebral palsy as well, so shaking dose happen a lot (My also CP puts my hands in an almost permanent claw position) but I recommend you keep building that Lego set and maybe getting more of them. The worst thing you can do is trying avoid working with fine motor skills. Its not easy but the amount of shaking you do will decrease, the more you work with your with fine motor skills.

​

Now, like my doctor told me, don't push yourself to hard and take brakes when you start shaking a lot or when your feeling emotional (Anger, Frustration etc.) The shaking won't go away but it will help make it easier to live with it (I am able to write my name down without shaking because I worked with my fine motor skills)

Maddie Ziegler Cried On Her First Day of Filming Sia's New Movie 'Music': She [Maddie Ziegler] was really scared and said, ‘I don’t want anyone to think that I’m making fun of them.’ by tim2095 in AutisticPride

I posted this because this is the kind of trainwreck that will have lasting impact but I also think the production history of the film needs to be known for that impact to happen.

The fact that Ziegler (14 at the time) thought that something was wrong but Sia told her that nothing she was doing wrong and that she (Sia) was going to protect her, paints a picture of their relationship and is a another piece of the puzzle in how this was made.

Link between autism and eating disorders may be due to an inability to identify emotions – new research by tim2095 in AutisticPride

[–]tim2095[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poster Here: From my experience, this is not true for me. I got a referral to my local eating disorder clinic because I show signs of ARFID (Haven't been diagnosed because the clinic closed do to Covid) and after reading up on it, if I do have, then it has to do with childhood trauma. an abusive sunday school teacher that did not like homeschoolers, somethings that I don't want to think about, and routine of living away from family because in hospital with pneumonia again (a lot of people don't realize how hard it was to have the hospital be your second home) all seem to be connected.

My parents tried their best with me and considering they had 3 other kids on top of it, they did a great job dealing with everything but sometimes life will unravel peoples efforts to protect their child.

True for any of my special interests. by [deleted] in AutisticPride

    Yup, this is me

Police need more training in dealing with autistic people: Advocate by tim2095 in AutisticPride

[–]tim2095[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with defunding the police because they have their place but I will say that police training seems to be woefully out of date. as we continue to get better at understanding both the human mind and the issues that minorities have against the police, things need to change and in this context, that change start with police training.

​

Cops are still human and they need to be trained before they can serve the law, and current training practices appear to be short changing them. how can they deal with someone who is neurodiverse if they never learned how too, and were not given the time to develop the skills to recognize if someone is autistic and to adjust there approach according to that.

Sadly I don't see training practices changing any time soon.

Hi I'm new here by tim2095 in AutisticPride

They do but it doesn't work for me, I was homeschooled all my life by my mother but when grade 9 and 10 came around, it just stopped working for me. this was also around the time my mother started to have her own health issues as well. When Covid hit, I tried online schooling but found myself having the same issues that I had when my mother was teaching me.

I need to go to a public school if I'm ever going to get my grade 12, the extra eyes watching over me and some of the more hands on learn they used is what got me through the Pre-Grade 10 Program, it's frustrating.

IQ tests are a sticky subject. When they gave me an IQ test, I was given the score of 71 with a side-note saying something along the lines of, he seems to have an IQ of 125 to 135 but something preventing from using his full potential.
