Mom on the Spectrum

This video is designed for you to send to friends and family members who are open to learning more about supporting you on your autism journey.

In part 2 (which drops TODAY, Wed Sept 10 @ 3 PM CT) I'm covering how to respond (and what to avoid) when someone shares their autism diagnosis with you.

I'll also be sharing comments from community members who have shared their own responses to this topic in the comments here on the channel.

Join me for the live premiere where we can use the text chat to share ideas and connect! https://youtu.be/F5keGMART3s?si=KEBmE...

Told my man last night that I'm gonna be tested, & that I'm pretty sure, & he said: "🤔so that's why you speak in full paragraphs." 😁 I said, "yup."

I can count the people who have accepted me as autistic on one hand. Those who avoid me after I tell them aren't worth worrying about. They've shown me who they are.

I usually start with “congratulations, I knew you were cool!!!!”

When I told my boyfriend after I had taken several self tests online that all came back strongly suggesting I'm autistic, his response was to send me an autistic meme as he already knew from our first ever conversation a couple of months earlier 😂 We became a couple officially little over a month after that and have now been together for little over 3 years. We're long distance with me living in Sweden and him in Netherlands, but we're working on beating the distance ♥

I suggest Part 2: how NOT to respond when… 😆Although I imagine you cover a lot of it in this and your other videos

My standard response tends to be finally, so happy for you. That’s great! For people I know and have been wanting one any one else is … huh how do you feel about that releaved or bothered and do you want any support or ask anything my door is open the latter if I actually like them.
