I Get So Worried Im Faking Autism And Adhd Because I Also Have Anxiety And Some Of The Symptoms Are The

I was wondering about this, too. Why don't they call her sister, or she calls them her brothers? She's known she was a clone like them the whole time, so what's up here?

Anyone else find it odd that they don’t call omega sister I thought clones saw each other as brother but is that ably the clones that grow up together?

This is exactly how it went down in that armory, you can't convince me otherwise.🤣

Wrecker: you should see the new armory !

Crosshair: he actually cried.

Wrecker: hey

Wrecker: we both did

This looks interesting...

Remove the stereotype of knowing everything about the so called special interest, I have never had one, but I'm curious why is it called like that, when it isn't for Neurotypicals?

So the list you posted, it just sounds like something a person likes, but why is that it is called special interest?

Because if a Neurotypical would say, if they had those interest(s) that are on that list, or more. Its just...likes. hobbies even. But when a Neurodivergent has any of that, its called a 'special interest' why is that? It just occured to me too this question, I find it strange. That it has a name like that for Neurodivergent but not for the Neurotypicals.

I also feel like, if you utter you like something, then people just assume straight off the bat that it is a 'special interest' when it may not be.

Its the same with the Autistic Meltdown, or that other thang I forgot what the name of it is. Why is it called like that? Because again, if a Naueotypical has, like a big outburst of anger and they get real mad even throwing stuff, whatever someone does, it's not called specifically a meltdown, or that other thing i forgot the name of it. I'm genuinely wondering btw, not trolling.

This is a good question, and completely understandable.

Firstly, a special interest is specific to autism. My post lists a variety of ways that they can manifest, but obviously it's not the only ways.

A special interest is different to a hobby in the way that an autistic engages with it. A hobby for a neurotypical is something they know all about and do to pass the time. They may even take breaks from it.

A special interest for an autistic may not even have a physical component, we have anxiety about not interacting with it, and it's not to just pass the time. It can feel like a core part of us.

Which is why if a special interest fades, we can be left in a state of deep loss. It's like losing a loved one. It can cause grief.

Autistics can also just have hobbies.

Now, an autistic meltdown or shutdown is once again specific to us because it's linked to how we engage in the world. Specifically, sensory input.

A neurotypical can have a "meltdown" after a bad week at work, a break up, plus their car won't start and they'll scream and need a day off. It may even lead to a breakdown. They are serious, and they need self-care. But it's a long build up of stressors.

An autistic meltdown is a painful experience of no longer being able to endure sensory input. We need to escape, and harmful stims, screaming, crying etc are our only coping skills we have left in our arsenal. There is no emotion behind it, no end goal, except to make the pain stop.

Loving these ideas! Maul, Obi-Wan, and Mace would all be great options... but we're probably not gonna know who it is for a while (at least I hope not, let the show run for a good while, please!😥).

Y’all listen up I think I’m on to something

Everyone has been speculating about who our mysterious cloaked figure is in ep six of TBB. There’s been some pretty good guesses but I think I can narrow it down some more.

First of all, Rafa addressed the figure as “him”, which means that our mystery man is, in fact, a man. I’m very sorry to disappoint y’all but I think that rules out Ahsoka.

Rafa assumed that all clones worked for the Empire now, and almost seemed to hold a bit of malcontent towards them. Her ignorance seems to disprove that she could be working with Rex, because he is also a rogue clone and Rafa would know better if they were working together.

Rex is a soldier. If he wanted that tactical droid he would have done it himself. Plus, my man wears skirts, not cloaks. So yeah it’s probably not Rex either *sad and horny noises*

But do you know who would send two inexperienced and ill-equipped civilians to get something he wouldn’t want to get himself? Maul. I’m not the only one saying this. Consider: 1) He isn’t very fond of the Empire. 2) The music, Rafa’s facial expression… it all seemed a little sinister. Just a little. 3) Rafa and Trace have a history with working for people without asking questions or thinking about consequences (though tbh they seemed to have learned from past mistakes + Ahsoka). And 4) Maul loves to wear cloaks that conceal his face until it is time for a dramatic reveal.

Summary: I know it’s probably not Maul but I want it to be so I am grasping at straws

Some people have said it could be Bail, and yeah he seems like an obvious choice. Too obvious. Star Wars throws Bail Organa cameos out like Halloween candy. He’s in literally everything. So though it sounds mean, mystery man’s identity seem too dramatic and important for Bail (harsh). Or I’m just overthinking.

My personal prediction? It’s Obi Wan. Cloak. I’m surprised no one has suggested him yet. He fits all the boxes. Fighting against the Empire. Could know Trace and Rafa through Ahsoka. Pursuing Separatists intel for the right reason. Had to send people to get the intel for him because he’s in hiding or babysitting or both. Would def want to know about some rogue clones.

Anyways this post took up way too much of my time and your feed but I just wanted to say that unfortunately I don’t think out mystery man is Ahsoka or Rex. But that doesn’t mean we won’t see them soon!

I also could be Mace Win- aahh I need to stop I’m going to bed

Saw your asks were open! Don't burn yourself out with answering, please.

So, a thing I've heard sometimes is autistics having a low "mental age". Both from people in my school* and more influential sources that make out autism as a tragedy. As small news articles and ableist teenage boys aren't the best sources, I'm asking you! Do (some) autistic people actually have "lower mental ages" or is that a complete myth?

("I wish I had autism so I could also get benefits." "Dude, do you want to be four years old for the rest of your life?" That type of thing.)

This is very factual, but with a major caveat: it's not the mental age. It's that we don't adhere to social norms and will continue to enjoy or act in ways seen as younger.

I collect stuffed animals and have a toy box full of colouring books and stim items. I also don't dress my age and wear jeans and Disney t-shirts.

Not all Autistics do this. Some act older than they are. Some have intellectual disabilities that NTs deem as "child like" (they're not... They're adults with intellectual disabilities. Not an adult with the mind of a 4 year old.)

So, yes. But with lots of reasons.

Original Text:

The pathological medical model defines #Autistic play as inappropriate, restricted, and repetitive with DEFICITS in imagination, imitation, symbolism and joint attention.

A paradigm that focuses on deficits rather than strengths.

In this context, playing "appropriately" means playing with toys exactly as a typical child would play with toys.

When an autistic child plays in an unusual way, it is considered "inappropriate play." In other words, "it's different, therefore it's bad."

It's not that autistic children don't know how to play. There is no correct way to play. Play is play.

Autistic children's exploration and interaction with the world is outside of society's understanding, and just because society doesn't understand the value of doing things a certain way, it doesn't mean it's wrong.

There is nothing wrong with lining up toys. 🦒🐖🧸

There is nothing wrong with spinning the wheels of a car. 🚙

There is nothing wrong with playing with nature. 🌱

There is nothing wrong with playing with a cardboard box. 📦

Autistic play is appropriate play.

Autistic children are not broken versions of neurotypical children. Same thing goes for autistic adults (we exist by the way 😉✌️). #Autism is a natural part of the spectrum of human diversity... and diversity is beautiful.

We learn, interact and play AUTISTICALLY.
