hey neurodivergent people!! listen up because your hyperfixations/special interests are amazing!!

❤ you're not selfish or bad for wanting to talk about your interests

💙 your interests are not "cringey," "annoying," or "weird"!

💛 you could have a dozen hyperfixations, you could have just one. There's no "proper" way to have them

💖 you deserve to be respected and listened to!

💚 have a popular hyperfixation/ special interest? Amazing!!! Lots of people to talk with about it!!

🧡 have an obscure one? That's so cool!!! You have knowledge on things very people do!!

💗 neurodiversity is beautiful

💜 you are wonderful and loved. Take some time to do whatever makes you happy <3

dear mom,

you will never feel remorse for the things you've done.

you will never recognize you've abused me.

you haven't remembered all the crying, the screaming, the hitting and throwing. The name calling, the yelling, the threats, the dismissive remarks.

because to you, it didn't mean anything.

I'm forced to remember. I'm forced remember that I'll never have a loving mother. I'm forced to live with an endlessly gaping void, where the childhood warmth and wonder should've lived.

I will never have a loving mother. So you will never have an obedient and caring child.

you will get everything you deserve. You will get skipped mother's day presents, you will get no invitation to my graduation, you will get no phone call on your birthday.

you will never have my admiration. You will never have my respect. You will never have a fond place in my memories.

I won't forget.

People who slam doors and stomp their feet to show how much they want to physically hurt you shouldn’t be trusted

Mr. Rogers had an intentional manner of speaking to children, which his writers called “Freddish”. There were nine steps for translating into Freddish: 

“State the idea you wish to express as clearly as possible, and in terms preschoolers can understand.” Example: It is dangerous to play in the street. ​​​​​​

“Rephrase in a positive manner,” as in It is good to play where it is safe.

“Rephrase the idea, bearing in mind that preschoolers cannot yet make subtle distinctions and need to be redirected to authorities they trust.” As in, “Ask your parents where it is safe to play.”

“Rephrase your idea to eliminate all elements that could be considered prescriptive, directive, or instructive.” In the example, that’d mean getting rid of “ask”: Your parents will tell you where it is safe to play.

“Rephrase any element that suggests certainty.” That’d be “will”: Your parents can tell you where it is safe to play.

“Rephrase your idea to eliminate any element that may not apply to all children.” Not all children know their parents, so: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play.

“Add a simple motivational idea that gives preschoolers a reason to follow your advice.” Perhaps: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is good to listen to them.

“Rephrase your new statement, repeating the first step.” “Good” represents a value judgment, so: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is important to try to listen to them.

“Rephrase your idea a final time, relating it to some phase of development a preschooler can understand.” Maybe: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is important to try to listen to them, and listening is an important part of growing.

Mr. Rogers Had a Simple Set of Rules for Talking to Children - The Atlantic

Rogers brought this level of care and attention not just to granular details and phrasings, but the bigger messages his show would send. Hedda Sharapan, one of the staff members at Fred Rogers’s production company, Family Communications, Inc., recalls Rogers once halted taping of a show when a cast member told the puppet Henrietta Pussycat not to cry; he interrupted shooting to make it clear that his show would never suggest to children that they not cry.

In working on the show, Rogers interacted extensively with academic researchers. Daniel R. Anderson, a psychologist formerly at the University of Massachusetts who worked as an advisor for the show, remembered a speaking trip to Germany at which some members of an academic audience raised questions about Rogers’s direct approach on television. They were concerned that it could lead to false expectations from children of personal support from a televised figure. Anderson was impressed with the depth of Rogers’s reaction, and with the fact that he went back to production carefully screening scripts for any hint of language that could confuse children in that way.

In fact, Freddish and Rogers’s philosophy of child development is actually derived from some of the leading 20th-century scholars of the subject. In the 1950s, Rogers, already well known for a previous children’s TV program, was pursuing a graduate degree at The Pittsburgh Theological Seminary when a teacher there recommended he also study under the child-development expert Margaret McFarland at the University of Pittsburgh. There he was exposed to the theories of legendary faculty, including McFarland, Benjamin Spock, Erik Erikson, and T. Berry Brazelton. Rogers learned the highest standards in this emerging academic field, and he applied them to his program for almost half a century.

This is one of the reasons Rogers was so particular about the writing on his show. “I spent hours talking with Fred and taking notes,” says Greenwald, “then hours talking with Margaret McFarland before I went off and wrote the scripts. Then Fred made them better.” As simple as Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood looked and sounded, every detail in it was the product of a tremendously careful, academically-informed process.

I really wish someone had told me this before I had kids. I had no idea how to speak to kids. Honestly, I still don’t. My daughter is 12 and has always been talked to as an adult which is both good and bad.

Thought I should share this with you guys! This wheel is the “wheel of emotions” you start in the middle and then work your way to the outside of the circle to really help you pin point what emotion you are truly feeling! 💕 hope this helps someone!
