Untrue! #Repost @storiesaboutautism with @make_repost ・・・ It’s 2021 and we’re somehow still publishing rubbish like this… ⠀ Back to the bad old days of autism being caused by ‘refrigerator mothers.’ That it’s something that can be cured if the parents just did more with their child, interacted more and tried harder. ⠀ In case you’ve come across these articles in the last few days, which have been published without question by lots of the media, there is NOTHING you could have done to change the fact your child is autistic. ⠀ It’s nothing to do with the foods you ate when you were pregnant, how often you were on your mobile phone, and definitely not because of the quality of your parenting. ⠀ And I really want you to know and believe that, especially those who are in the early days of your journey. ⠀ What this study, of a limited amount of children, who have now reached the grand age of 3 shows is that a smaller percentage of them would meet the criteria for an autism diagnosis. ⠀ Now, considering how the vast majority of people don’t receive an autism diagnosis until they are older than 3, and how many people make it all the way to adulthood without being diagnosed, largely because they’re able to mask, to fit in socially, is it not much more likely that this is what’s happening? Not that the parents playing in a certain way are magically making their child no longer autistic? ⠀ As many autistic adults and families will testify, helping a child to be better at masking and fitting in before getting a late diagnosis and missing out on years of vital support, is not something we should be encouraging. ⠀ What we really need is a better diagnosis system so that families are able to get the support they need, as early as possible, not to teach them how to make their child avoid getting a diagnosis. ⠀ Of course the right therapies can help an autistic person reduce some of their challenges, improve their communication skills and cope better with the world around them. What they can’t do is prevent them from being autistic. ⠀ So please ignore articles like this, the last thing we need is the wider world thinking a diagnosis can be prevented if parents act differently.

I’ve been the “sitting-in-front-of-the-screen” kind of person for the biggest part of my life. I’ve always done mostly online things rather than actual real-life activities, mostly because I was an introvert. Like I would be scared to go the places and talking to people I don’t know. I always wanted to learn more but I was scared to attend lessons. I remember, I had flute lessons for 6 years with the same teacher and I still felt awkward every single time. Most people just made me uncomfortable. I also rarely ever had more than two friends at the same time. I never felt like I needed or could handle more. And that’s why when the internet came along I escaped into this new world where I didn’t have to talk to anyone but could still present myself as who Iam. 16 years down the road, you know my story. As a mother I wouldn’t necessarily want JJ to go down the same road. I felt lost many many times and doubted my whole existence. Nobody should go through those stages without proper coping mechanisms and a loving hug. That’s why I try to encourage people to pay extra attention when they have introverted children. The brains of introverts and extroverts function differently. So don’t expect introverts to be like extroverts, it just makes them feel inferior and they end up as adults always feeling there’s something wrong about them. These are things people should learn as common knowledge in school in my opinion. Maybe I would have figured sooner that I’m actually normal. While I still somehow made it, I know a lot of people who didn’t. Who still question themselves until this day. Have you ever been through this kind of situation ? Tell your story below 🤍
