Dark Academia...

Basically a bunch of zoomers made my life (plus the clothes I would wear if I wasn't touch sensitive) into a movement/'aesthetic'.

Wow

I'm fed up of giving actual information about myself & getting generic advice back.

I need friends who aren't family for certain advice.

I don't have friends close enough to do that.

It's still the early months of the year.

Soon, it won't be this cold. In a couple of months from now.

Do any of you guys have the relevant experience in directly handling other cases?
I mean other cases, I mean NDs of varying levels.

Yes, I said handling.
Not just social interactions -- but more to do with accomodating and being responsible for one.

... Though, it doesn't have to be specifically about autistics.
It can be any other cases of disabilities and ND conditions of varying functioning levels.

And not just mere encounters, not just stories in the media.

If yes...
*4; this means you're the kind who provides an ND's daily living needs.
With having the most direct kind of obligation as a guardian, providing with the most direct care.

*3; this means you're likely a professional, who also very likely had to interact with a respective ND's guardian or caretaker.
While you either have years of education and experience, while interacting with other cases knowing the impact of the condition.

*2; likely you may or may not know much about NDs, yet you get to see the impact of the condition everyday. May not be the guardian or the main caretaker, but still have some responsibility over the case.

*1; likely you may or may not be a professional or even a family. Likely a social organizer of sorts.
But for some reason, you get to interact with and have a degree of responsibility towards the NDs under your watch at least in short term.
At this stage, you get to have a taste of what feels like to directly handle a case.

If not...
*1; you're a relative or an acquaintance. May or may not know much about NDs.
But it is likely that you don't live with the NDs in the same roof nor get to see how it affects daily living.
Nor had little to no long term responsibility except maybe patience or tolerance in every meeting.

*2; you know at least one ND. But you don't have to do anything at this case that resembles any caretaking or assisting.
At best, you accommodate or be courteous, more of an equal than a patient. But no more than that.

*3; you only seen at least one ND. And that's mostly it. :shrug:
You may or may not know about this person's name, may or may not hear about this person's case and what he or she can or cannot do.
But you don't really interact much nor extensively or even at all.

*4; you actually never met any ND. If you're one, then you never met any other. At best, you heard stories in the media or read/watch stuff online.
But not once truly known what it was like to be physically present with other cases.


Other; you're a caretaker of another. Likely at least a parent of one.
Likely been a caretaker of a patient of some condition, which may or may not be an ND by any means. And if it is, the ND status under your care isn't highly relevant.
Likely a professional of another domain or a professional who yet to had any experience.
You may or may not know much about handling another ND.


Also explain your choices. :lol:


My choice;
Yes*1
From time to time, I get to assist my SPED teacher with her students.
And a very few happened to be my somewhat-batchmates, whom I've known for at least 10+ years now.

Some autistics, some are not. None of them are aspies. :twisted: Not even close.

I've been in few incidents, encountered issues myself, and known some difficulty.
Obviously, this is nothing compared to those who had to cater their needs, let alone those who live under the roof with them. :lol:

Yeah.
I've been wondering... :lol:

I don't know where I fall into this, so I'm not choosing a number, but I have done some aspects of caretaking for a few ND people. I used to take care of my mom and still do on the weekends, and she is most likely autistic which makes helping her really challenging, especially because she tries to make me do things for her that she doesn't want to deal with and refuses to deal with like bills and medical stuff. I have also taken care of ND children in my family, such as nieces and nephews, and helped them learn things since I am one of the only people who know how to properly accommodate their communication and educational needs.

The question pops on my mind, because I've been wondering about the ND members in this forum;
Are we as disconnected towards the realities and impact of living with said conditions as some others claimed?

I wanna know the odds. But I'm not sure how to word it right without making it seemingly confusing. :lol: Or that's just me.

I'm not going to apologise to dad.

He said something bigoted. I called him out.

Either we move on, he goes into sulk mode and we don't talk or he apologises.

Those are the only options.

Plus on a shallow level he needs to quit making fun of every show I watch. There's nothing wrong with Batman.

I would be *3 on your system. I have been working with ND people for over 20 years and I interact with them on a daily basis. I have served and/or interacted with hundreds of ND people.

My brother coming home from work really frustrated and angry all the time stresses me out and kind of ruins my mood since I don't do well around angry people. :(

I'm a 4.
My 24 year-old daughter is on the spectrum. I've raised her on my own since she was six months old.
My adopted son isn't on the spectrum but he was high needs with ADHD, ODD, and dyslexia.

I was also a 3 for twenty years, during my career.

The homemade notebook I made doesn't bleed through too much. 8O
The paper I've made with is cheap, a bit flimsy and quite old...

An upcoming fallout NV mod turns out to be full of creepy crap and made by disgusting people. I'm pretty grossed out by it, and also by how many people defend that crud. Ugh. I hate it.

Also I can't force myself to go to bed in time when I really should. It's not good for me, all this.
