how to help an autistic loved one

 

        something that I have been asked a lot is how can I help an autistic person, in this post I will discuss how to do just that. The first thing that me and my parents did was to first take me to occupational therapy, this helped me by first teaching me self control and how to manage my stress levels this was vital for my growth as person so that I could be able to learn to navigate my surroundings and deal with stressful situations. The next step that we took was to learn a sport or a skill that I enjoy doing, for me it was mixed martial arts as I have explained in an old post of mine titled "how martial arts helped me" we then learned that by having a sport or skill like MMA I would receive physical input which helped me learn to interact with others and learn to navigate conflict. The last step that me and my parents took was to be thorough with what they say and telling me what is about to happen, when is it going to happen and of course how its going to happen, which helped me by making me aware of what is going on as opposed of telling me at the last second and keeping everything a big surprise which overwhelms me and could cause me to have sensory overload. In conclusion the best way to help a loved one that is autistic is to first take them to occupational therapy, then to get them into a sport that they enjoy, and finally to being thorough and discreet with telling them what is going on, what is happening and how it is going to happen.

the importance of being straightforward when speaking

                        In a previous post of mine I spoke about the importance of concise speech in this post I will explain why I value being straight forward when I speak. The main reason why I find straight forward communication important is because I take things very literally especially when it comes down to the very small details of how a person communicates with me. The next reason why I value straight forward communication is due to the fact that I have a difficult time with recognizing an individuals tone of voice which makes challenging for me to understand what message a person is trying to convey to me and same is said about social cues or body language. In conclusion the reason why I value straightforward communication is due to the fact that I have a difficult time with understanding what an individual is trying to discuss with me, the fact that i have a difficult time with recognizing social cues.

How I See People

                In my previous post I briefly discussed people and their part in how I see the world in this post I will describe how do I see people and why do I see them this way. The way that I see people is like I said before in my previous post titled "How I See The World" is that they are unpredictable and they could say or do any number of things whether it would be good or bad. Now normally in most circumstances I see people just as well people no color, no religion and not any different about them from me, and the reason why is due to the fact that people could have many differences on the outside but I still see them as a person regardless of their beliefs and their looks. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said "I live to see a day where we are not judged by our color or creed but by our character" that phrase is what I live by and what I use to help me see people as such. Therefore the way that I see people is as individuals that are ...
