23.01.2022 In generations gone by, so many children were most likely labeled as "naughty" being unfairly and harshly disciplined or isolated... Pigeon holed and not suppo...rted. There is no 'epidemic' or over diagnosed, or paranoid parents. It's finally getting to a point of trying to understand individual needs, and making things fair, accessible and inclusive for all neuro types. Everyone is different, with different support needs, strengths and abilities. Yet many slip through the cracks and don't get the support they need - either missed or misdiagnosed. We hope that with each generation that passes, we can get better at recognising this. See more
22.01.2022 Autism Insights: Cognitive Exhaustion Autistic people have very powerful cognitive (thinking) systems. Most autistics will identify with thinking all the ...time. This can take an enormous toll, especially when we are forced to sustain attention, for a long period of time, in something we are not necessarily interested in, such as meeting a deadline for work. Every autistic has their own way of coping with cognitive exhaustion, but it usually entails something requiring little to no novel thought, problem solving, or executive functioning. For me, watching the same movie over & over is very soothing & easy on my brain. These ways of coping are hugely important to autistic recovery & must not be belittled by others or treated with contempt. What are your go to things when you are cognitively exhausted?
