Non-verbal learning Disability (NVLD) is a neurological profile where individuals process information primarily through verbal channels, often missing non-verbal cues. Despite the misleading name, people with NVLD are not nonverbal and may not have traditional learning disabilities. Individuals with NVLD tend to be highly detail-oriented, bright, warm, and caring.

The speaker, Marcia Eckerd, emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating neurodivergent individuals like Tim Wal's son.

Posted @withregram • @autisticnotweird Sadly, autistic social struggles (and other people's struggles with misinterpreting us) extend to Christmas traditions as well. I'm very grateful to my parents in particular for being the ones to know the difference between my visible reactions and my emotional reactions. Relevant article: "An autistic person's guide to an autism-friendly Christmas". http://autisticnotweird.com/christmas/ #autism #autistic #actuallyautistic #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismcommunity #autisticnotweird #neurodiverse #neurodiversity #disability #disabilityawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CX2L8ULpZnKRhMn0AndOcy2Tp8BOyvVzCiwGrI0/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Power of Self-Advocacy in Autism

One of the most empowering aspects of being on the autism spectrum can be the development of self-advocacy skills. Learning to express our needs, rights, and wishes can profoundly shape our experiences and the way we navigate through the world.

Self-advocacy doesn't have to mean we take on every challenge alone; it’s about understanding our needs and being able to communicate them effectively to those around us. It can mean seeking appropriate supports and accommodations, standing up against discrimination, or simply making choices that align with our individual comfort and happiness.

But self-advocacy also poses its unique challenges, particularly when it comes to facing misunderstanding, prejudice, or outright denial of our needs. It's a skill that requires constant learning and adaptation.

What are your experiences with self-advocacy? How has it helped you in your journey? What obstacles have you faced and how have you overcome them? I’d love to hear your stories and tips for effective self-advocacy.

#MemeMonday #Repost via @autistic_aston I think we can all relate to this, it's why finding calming sensory aids or self care habits is so important! 💗🙏🌈 ⬇️Original caption⬇️• • • • • • As an Autistic, my brain is constantly thinking and worrying! It feels impossible to make my brain stop. It's been described to me as Neurotypical brains are like sieves, they can extract information needed and discard the ones that are not useful. However Autistic people tend to not be able to do this and so everything is just as important as each other and thus results in failing to prioritise things and having low executive functioning skills. I need a neurotypical to prioritise my to-do list and to tell me which is relevant to discuss in like a therapy session for example. My brain tends to go on a tangent of randomness, which is why my writing tends to skip from one topic to another. Re reading my book, it's full of random thoughts that I am now trying to organise lol. The only thing that tends to help calm my brain down is stimming! Stimming gives me that little bit of extra control again! #autismacceptance #autismawareness #autismcommunity #mentalhealth #autismadvocate #asd #Autistic #autisticmemes #therapy #autismfamilies #autism #stimming (Additional tags: #autismmemes #adhdmemes #ocdmemes #socialanxietymemes #memesformentalhealth #mentalillnessmemes #mentalhealthmeme #actuallyautistic #anxietysucks #mentallyill #introvertmemes #anxietyissues #anxietyanddepression #generalisedanxietydisorder #anxietyproblems #anxietysucks #anxietydisorders) (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGP1CkrhXNF/?igshid=1gcqg3458nd43

Autism in the media can be a little... limited.
