Autism, Life & Learning
Firstly sorry for not posting anything for about 2 ish weeks. I had an issue with low mood then I kept having meltdowns and finally to top it off I seemed to lost most of my atypical reviews have disappeared so there won't be any for the time being until I can find them.
So this now my new host site. Yes I know i have moved around a lot. Google blogger did not want to show my blog. Wix decided to crash and I have no access to help, or much help because I am not paying for my domain... yet. So here is Weebly... How does everyone like this? I am still going to be doing some bits and little tweaks, alongside the odd twitch, on the blog page. I have now separated the blogs from the reviews, if it hasn't been added yet I will add the all the links of everything I use there. If anyone has any ideas for a blog please email them to the contacting a Gecko. So there will be another blog on Sunday, that will be Autism and GCSEs. If you want to suggest any change then also use the email part of the website. I will hopefully have another Gecko helping out. If something happens, but we will see what happens with that. There maybe some other changes in the works as well hopefully some of these may come to fruition. If you want to say anything in the comment please do, hopefully i am here for the foreseeable future.

Hello. Right firstly I need to say I forgot to add some bits and also some bits I didn't want to add because well, they seem a bit stereotypical. So without further ado lets add to my explanation.
So people with autism naturally my have a issue with emotion may it be over empathy to having little to no emotions. Well on the female side of things some don't recognise what they are feeling sooo.... logically they start harming themselves. I would really like to stress this isn't every person with autism and most don't go out there way to harm themselves nor do they stereotypical cut themselves it will things like scratching or hitting themselves. So they are very small about of people with autism who cut themselves, just because they have autism. Another thing is that there are most subtle things that need to be taught like body language, but these are more signals for them to be independent- so sometimes this needs to be taught a bit earlier then most neruotypicals. Also you have things like lessons on how to be normal, well this is for everyone on the autistic spectrum, being a girl on the spectrum means you have to be taught on how to be a woman/girl and well it depends who teaches you it also it depends on culture and religion. In most belifs being male means you have little to sorry about, but being a girl means you may have to hold things back and well I haven't seen this happen most people on the spectrum can't control what they are saying they are taught to be honest and truthful so they are; although quite bluntly. I have one but quite odd thing left. There is an issue with danger. No this isn't like me walking in front of cars. The danger this time is about autistic women not knowing that person a person are being controlling or abusive. Firstly yes this does happen to men. This is why it is odd the reason why. This happens mainly, not always, but mainly because it is portrayed that NEUROTYPICAL women are weak and vulnerable. I know this isn't right. So why is a neurotypical trait overstepping into autism? Well to be completely honest I don't know why. here is my guess. People for a long time thought autism only affected men. So when it comes the 'shock' that women can have autism as well.. that trait of women being weak etc. worked even more then women got the vote and better rights and the idea stuck, but then so did the idea men take advantage of women, the issue is no one told the men. So they find people like an mildly autistic women and slowly alply pressure and then blame and issues on the persons autism rather then finding a neurotypical and do more work to get the same result. So here is the rest that I could remember. Please comment below on what you think. I shall do another blog on Sunday. Hellooo! This week has been some what of an up and down week I think you could call it.... interesting. There hasn’t been anything from the EastEnders side of things so we are one to my next thing to cross off my to do list. So the topic is Girls with Autism.
So firstly yes girls/women♀ can be on the spectrum. Although it is ‘uncommon’ the ratio is around 3 to-1. They will usually get tested around the teenage years so between 12-18 years old, rather then the 4-6 years old someone on the male side would normally gets tested... so what gives for this difference? This is interesting (well to someone how studies human behaviours). The majority of human interactions is done non-verbally, so by body language through eyes, hands or through facial expressions. Interactions like parallel play when you are a young child slowly introduces you to these skills as well as understanding the idea of friendships and how to hold on to friends. Then as you grow these skill expand and adapt from different skills you learn when you go through adolescence as these skills change for them to be mature and refined to have more selected ideas and more flexible friendships. One of the most common issues with males on the spectrum is that they struggle with parallel play then they don’t understand why someone plays different to them or wants to play with them. Females on the spectrum can do all this until roughly around the point of change around adolescent. This also isn’t helped by the non-verbal language changes; so things like emotional vocabulary becoming non-verbal as well as verbal, as you say something and don’t for others. These changes then make reactions that is just a lot autistic, then they get tested... and surprise- they are normal🙃. I should say now this will usually be people between mild- Asperger’s. Usually on the lower functioning side of things should be spotted before 15 for either gender. The ‘special skills’ that most autistic have also change. Things like learning languages🇬🇧🇪🇸🇫🇷 or precise grammar are common also things like skills in the humanities are another skill that is more common in females then males, other then history. Things like geography 🌍 and religion. Right then this is it for this one😔, I will continue this on Sunday🙃. I know this is a different thing way of talking about things; I hope you have enjoyed it. Here is a question for you: Before reading of this how much did you know about female autism? Please comment below or subscribe to keep up to date on Gecko post. I should say no live geckos are traveling through Royal mail- It’s FedEx😉. Also please remember to share if you found it interesting. |
