#autually autistic

I want to make a recipe book filled with foods/recipes that I and other autistic people like, laid out in multiple accessible ways. The reasoning is two-fold: 1. I want to learn more recipes for foods I might be able to tolerate 2. I want to dispel the myth that all food that autistic people can tolerate is boring and that everyone has different foods that we can tolerate.

Okay, so interesting thing.

I've been redirecting his stims and now my little dude's been doing more stereotypical (happy fingers, flappy hands, bouncing, rocking) type stuff, and I've been really encouraging it.

In the span of a week or two, he:

- Randomly decided to ditch the night time pull-up and hasn't had an accident. We're legit 100% potty trained now. - Hasn't had any meltdowns from the negative super sensory overload stims (which are the ones I've been redirecting). - Has been able to control his breathing to help calm himself down. - Has jumped ahead so far in his speech that it's almost like talking to a different kid, and his vocabulary is (now) bordering on advanced for his age.

It's easier to control how he processes the sensory information around him, so he's better able to communicate. Because he's feels in control, he's finding ways to claim his independence.

Let your autistic kids stim. Let your autistic friends stim. Let your autistic self stim. Try to find healthier stims if they're destructive. Stimmy stim stim.
