Autism Type #1910

My profound sensory issues and debilitating anxiety make conventional paths for success intensely overwhelming, like school or jobs, so I seem lazy, but it’s likely I would be one of the most hard-working, focused, detail-oriented, and creative people in the room if most options didn’t include having to actively engage with an unrelenting and judgemental public, communicate with stubborn and unaware authority figures, or overwork my nerves… autism

When you start drafting a pattern for a 1780s gown only to realize that it will only fit if you have the proper undergarments so you start making stays instead. Reminds me of Carl Sagan's apple pie proverb.

[ultralaur42]

Long time, no post. I have several projects going at once. Nevertheless, this project - 18th century stays - is my current occupation.

I am trying the Butterick 4254 view B pattern first, but I also plan to work through Resthreaded's 1780s front lacing stays. It has taken me over 12 hours to cut out all the layers, mark the channels, and baste the pieces together. I am not interested in making these stays by hand, but I imagine some aspects of the construction will require hand sewing techniques.

Finally, I hope to adapt these stays for modern use. I am excited to work on my first historical/history bound project! Feel free to leave questions or comments.

autistic self diagnosis is valid

[actingnt]

a person: i’m autistic. i don’t have a professional diagnosis.

a neurotypical: you can’t! self diagnose! autism!!! onLy a dOctor can do that!!!

most doctors: don’t know what autism looks like in people other than nonverbal white cis boys

most doctors: recommend abusive therapies for autistic kids and teens

most doctors who specialize in diagnosing autism: refuse to evaluate adults

an autism evaluation for a minor teen who wants one: requires having supportive parents who understand that autism is not a tragedy and looks different for every autistic person, and that many autistic people can talk, have friends, do okay in school, and otherwise fake looking neurotypical

an autism evaluation for an adult: very expensive and often not covered by insurance in the U.S., also extremely difficult to get in France

an on-record autism diagnosis: can be used to deny you custody of children, to have your kids taken away, to forcibly institutionalize you

autism advocacy orgs that actually help autistic ppl like ASAN, AWN, AANE: Here are some resources for figuring out if you could be autistic. Professional diagnosis is a very personal decision and is not required for knowing that you’re one of us. We support you as an autistic person even if you don’t have a paper diagnosis.

a sincere autism self diagnosis: harms no one even if it’s incorrect, enables the person to feel part of a community of people with similar issues and learn more about autism, a gateway to learning about autism acceptance movements, often the first step toward self acceptance and self esteem

Okay, this post actually helped me a lot a while back. Idk if I’m ADHD or autistic, but either way, super helpful

[aprotestforyourheart]

This post is really helpful!

[shade-romeo]

Anyone know of any of those self diagnosis resources they talked about-?

From Beginner to Intermediate: an intense plan for advancing in language

Introduction

I studied Spanish at school for 3 years and now I'm at a low B1 level. I can actually understand pretty well while listening or reading but I can't communicate fluently.

This plan will include vocabulary build up, some grammar revision, a lot of listening, reading and writing. And could be used for the most languages, not only Spanish.

Plan

Every day:

Conjugate one verb in present, past and future tenses

Make a list about 10 - 30 words long

Create flashcards with them and start learning them (I use Quizlet for flashcards)

Revise yesterday's set of flashcards

2-3 times a week:

Read an article or a few pages from a book

Write a few sentences about anything in your target language

Listen to one episode of podcast (at least one)

Once a week or every two weeks:

Watch a movie in your target language, preferably animated movie as the language used there is easier. You can watch with subtitles

Grammar exercises

Translate some short text

Once a month:

Write something longer, like an essay or report, on chosen topic

Additionally:

Talk to yourself, to your friends, to your pets

Text with someone

Look at the transcription while listening to the podcast for second time

Repeat what you hear (in podcast or movie)

Check words you don't know from the listening and reading

Read out loud

Listen to music in your target language - you can even learn the text and sing along

Watch YouTube in your target language

Change your phone language to the one you're learning

Think in you target language!!!

***This is very intense plan for self-learners, you don't have to do all of these things in the given time. Adjust it to your own pace. I'll try to stick to this, if I have enough time.***

Also instead of “problem behaviour” call it “distressed behaviour” for a more accurate picture of what the person is actually facing

[dreadfaeriejack]

I can’t reblog this enough, I will do it every damn time I see it from now to death.

[themostineptthateverstepped]

When someone frames your mental health issues as attention seeking behavior, problem behavior, or any other negatively-coded context, it creates an environment that makes you feel guilty, wrong, and selfish for struggling with things outside of your control. As a result, serious issues are allowed to arise in the absence of support.
