Autistic traits that were missed in my childhood…

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that presents a range of signs, often appearing in early childhood. Common signs of autism include delayed speech, difficulty with social interactions, repetitive behaviors, and sensitivity to sensory input like sounds or lights. Children may also show limited eye contact or struggle with changes in routine. Early intervention is crucial for effective management. At Kids Neuro Clinic, specialized programs for Autism treatment in Dubai are designed to support children with autism, helping them improve communication, social skills, and overall development through tailored therapies and expert care.

Thank you @ The Autistic Teacher

“As a teacher and someone who has worked with autistic children for many years, I am often asked about the early signs that a child may be autistic. It’s important to note that these do not apply to everyone! As autistic people, we do things OUR way and no textbook or guidance can write that. 🙂

I knew one of my children was autistic from pregnancy… ☺️ hypersensitivity to sound as a bump! But for some people it may help to read through these indicators.”

I recently implied* to my mother, who’s 67, that yes her two children could be Autistic even if she happens to share a lot of our respective traits.

Obviously this is something you need to be delicate about - she just recently has wrapped her head around the fact she has Anxiety, like diagnosable grade.

This list, however, is going to be so useful to send to her of she brings it back up.

Because just about all of this is:

100% me.

40% something I assumed was wholly explained by something else

50% something I assumed was just - normal.

And 10% “Your Special Interests are socially acceptable for girls, so no one points out they are Special Interests.”

Incidentally…..

Having participated in my state’s Quilt Hop (a collaboration that encourages visiting multiple independently owned quilt shops), I am increasingly confident that 100% of the owners and 75% of the customers of such establishments are female-identifying Autistics with a Special Interest in Fabric/Crafts/Geometric Patterns.

But women (traditionally) were supposed to quilt etc, so why would anyone be looking askew at all this?

(I’m not saying everyone who crafts is Autistic, or even everyone whose stash of supplies requires dedicated storage space. But most of us almost certainly are.)

* And by “implied,” I mean her saying “Well, if [your brother] were Autistic, your father and I could also qualify!” and me firmly saying “No offense, yes.”

does anyone remember that episode of merlin about the girl who lowkey had autism and was meant to marry arthur but neither of them really wanted to cause he was still pining over gwen and she was probably gay idk and by the end of the episode they cured her so that she'd stop eating frogs and gave her a romcom makeover and they decide to not get married cause it sucks

yeah i think about that episode a lot. that's it, that's the post.

posts that will get me hash tag cancelled (maybe) but these sorts of posts are really interesting to me bc i grew up in a heavily muslim country. i know what it means bc it was just part of the vernacular where i was. i am not immune to cultural appropriation, of course, but when does existing adjacent to a culture become part of your culture? I ask myself that question a lot and random little things like this niggle it.

Early Signs of Autism: What to Look For

Note:

I know this talks about infants and younger children, and I know I have a majority of older followers. But I thought this could be useful for those who have kids or are thinking about having kids.

Which are Autism Signs in 1-Year-Olds: Early Identification Guide

Understanding whether a 1-year-old child has autism can be challenging, as many of the typical developmental behaviors of a 1-year-old overlap with behaviors that could be early signs of autism. Autism is curable if detected since early age, so early identification and intervention are crucial, and recognizing potential signs is important. Recognizing Autism in a 1-Year-Old: What to Look…
