@mightbeautistic Honestly I think I just would not have gone to highschool
@mightbeautistic That being different is not a moral failing and that if I be myself, there will be people who appreciate that. Some people won't, but that's ok. My people are out there and I can find them. Also that it's ok to walk away. If something is making me miserable I can always walk away
@mightbeautistic I would tell my younger self that who he is and the way his brain works is great and he is beautiful. And that just because literally no one else in his life can see that does not mean it is not true.
@mightbeautistic That you do not have to be in cultures that bully you. There are tons of alternative schools/unschooling/healthy communities where bullying is simply not acceptable.
Quite a stat
@creepydotorg bikers have more ethics than our politicians
When you don't you are Autistic or Sensory Sensitive, you are unaware of why you are feeling so rubbish, you don't realise its the lighting, the feeling of sweat trickling down your body or the internal symptoms that are triggering your distress. It increases the fear not knowing
If you could go back and better prepare your #Autistic young self for the bullying. What advice would you give? What tools would you impart?
Pretty much every child excluded at primary school has SEND. Every so often a stat stops you in your tracks, and this is one of them.

@KatyElphinstone @BillWongOT sciencegate.app/document/10.11… The Therapist Neurodiversity Collective is a great resource for all things neuro-affirming and understanding autistic experiences!! therapistndc.org/positive-behav…
@KatyElphinstone “A consequence of everything being about "children with autism": no one thinks about the adults. They desire desperately to make us indistinguishable from peers… and then as soon as we meet that goal, we're allbetternow.” timetolisten.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-ty…
@KatyElphinstone Kuperstein’s 2018 study links it to PTSD, Dettmering, 2024 admitted behaviour change isn’t about making people happy or healthy, @therapist_ndc might know more, or @Lau_Cob_ , several studies on distressed behaviours increasing as a result
@KatyElphinstone This is a comprehensive article here about harms in #ABA autisticscienceperson.com/why-aba-therap…
@KatyElphinstone As a matter of interest, there's also "Why Categivers Discontinue ABA": hennyk.com/articles/
Does anyone know of any research studies linking behavioural therapies (#ABA, #PBS, etc.) with mental health problems in autistic people? #AskingAutistics #ActuallyAutistic #Research #ABA
@LizPeecock @KatyElphinstone I think to be honest with therapies such as CBT or DbT they are all about telling people that the way they think or act is wrong. Eg if you are anxious or depressed it is because you are thinking or behaving wrong. That is not good either for autistic people or for NTs
@LizPeecock @KatyElphinstone Both CBT and ABA are based on ‘fake it till you make it’, do something even if it makes you feel uncomfortable or you are exhausted or anxious to get there in the end
@LizPeecock @KatyElphinstone Fake it till you make it doesn’t work for autistic people, they get burn out and crash
@KatyElphinstone @violinautie This paper on a Social Skills Intervention discusses improvements to the "school climate" and there was a mention of "cost effectiveness" in there too. Yuk! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

@mightbeautistic I would tell my younger self that who he is and the way his brain works is great and he is beautiful. And that just because literally no one else in his life can see that does not mean it is not true.
@mightbeautistic If people treat you like crap, don't go back to them the next day like everything's normal. I know you've learnt this from your relationship with Mum but it's going to destroy you in the end. Ditch those who hurt you and go find friends that actually care.
@mightbeautistic I've not a clue. Not a clue. Perhaps that's why what I'm experiencing right now is so difficult.
@mightbeautistic I would literally be more confrontational and violent. Fuck everyone that was mean to me. 💀

When you don't you are Autistic or Sensory Sensitive, you are unaware of why you are feeling so rubbish, you don't realise its the lighting, the feeling of sweat trickling down your body or the internal symptoms that are triggering your distress. It increases the fear not knowing
My diagnostic report listed these factors as being problematic for mental health. Obviously, I have made the wording/description my own rather than copy what was written.
@mightbeautistic I still don't know. I'm not sure if that is bc I am so badly damaged from the bullying that I never figured out how, or bc I am still bullied and ostracised as an adult as much as when I was a kid.
@mightbeautistic LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!! It's not "anxiety" "depression" or "Crohn's" Your warning system is going crazy Listen to it!
@mightbeautistic Bullies only behave the way they are taught. You are not able to teach a person lessons, they need to learn themselves. You are receiving pain they have not processed. Boundaries are important and do not feel good to enforce. We must protect ourselves with boundaries.
@mightbeautistic I don't think there's any advice to give I would have had to rewire my entire nervous system so I didn't go into Fawn Which is something I'm only getting to do now, in my 40's
@mightbeautistic i’m not sure there’s any advice that would help. i grew up in the 70s and 80s. it was a vicious time. there was no mercy. *maybe* if i told myself that we’re autistic and our mom is abusive and not one single shred of the misery is our fault, at least i would have had a head
@mightbeautistic "You need to approach learning to interact with these people with the understanding that they don't see each other as equals. Their rules change as you age and as you change position in society. It's not right, but you need to be aware of that to understand their communication."
