As we pass one year since the COVID-19 pandemic began, I have to say it’s been incredible how much progress we’ve made. We’ve been able to keep up with our jobs, schools and lives as best as we can through virtual and safe face-to-face interactions, and there are three vaccines available to a select group of people with availability for everyone by the summer.

Through these uncertain times, I, along with many other autistic (and non-autistic) individuals, have had issues with anxiety.

Most of my anxiety has had to do with not finding work in the scarce market, as well as not having exciting plans to look forward to every day.

How to Laugh at Yourself
laugh at yourself is an extremely valuable skill to have — yet too many people never take the time to develop it. Why is it so important? Because we all embarrass ourselves from time to time.It’s inevitable — we’re human.But it’s not the mistakes that we make in life that define us — it’s how we respond to those mistakes that matter.

What My Autistic Son Taught Me About Listening and Speaking
For the first five years of my son’s life, he never called me Mama, and he only said a word or two without being prompted. When his doctors would ask, “Where’s your mama?” he’d always point to me. He knew who I was, but if he needed me, he wouldn’t say a word. He’d walk over and slide a tiny finger or two inside of my palm and give my hand a little tug. That was his way of saying, “I need your help. Come with me.” Most often, he’d lead me to the kitchen and point to cookies or open the refrigerator and say “juice” so sweetly that it nearly always made me smile.

When a Doctor Said I Couldn't Be Autistic Because I'm a Musician
I sat down in front of the doctor and felt small almost immediately — realizing the power that this professional stranger had over me and my immediate future. He was the person in charge of either giving me a key to the inside or leaving me locked out on the outside where I had always been. He was the person in charge of either listening to me and taking the time to believe my concerns, or simply writing me off and handing me a prescription for anti-depressants – a sticking plaster over the truth. As it turns out, that’s exactly what he did that day in December 2016.

5 Life Lessons I’ve Learned From Raising an Autistic Child
Being the sister of an autistic man, I thought I knew a lot about autism. After all, I had grown up watching my brother struggle through the education system in the 1980s and was familiar with his stimming as well as challenges with changes to routine. But this “lived experience” still didn’t prepare me for raising a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

What Neurotypical People Need to Know About Autistic Meltdowns
Autistic meltdowns are one of the most difficult parts of autism for me. My meltdowns were not dealt with well in my childhood. My parents thought I was just throwing tantrums. They thought I could control what was happening, which was not the case at all. I was usually locked in my room during these meltdowns. This has added trauma beyond belief, to have been shoved into a room and have the doorknob ripped out of my hand while all I wanted was some deep pressure. I still have night terrors where I wake up screaming about being trapped. Of course, I couldn’t verbalize what was causing the meltdowns and my parents had no interest in figuring it out themselves. It was just easier to lock me away.

Why Many Autistic People Don't Celebrate Autism Awareness Month
April is Autism Awareness Month, but most self-advocates don’t celebrate it. If one is new to the autistic community, one might be surprised by the pushback against these “awareness” efforts. The month-long campaign has a 51-year history. It was launched in April of 1970 by the Autism Society, which was founded by parents of autistic children. Each year, the controversial organization Autism Speaks promotes the month as one of its awareness campaigns, along with April 2, which is World Autism Day. The majority of the people who celebrate Autism Awareness Month happen to be parents and family members.

How COVID-19 Tests Can Be Triggering for Survivors of Sexual Abuse
The pandemic has been a trauma in itself. It has also brought to the surface unresolved trauma or carried triggers with it. Wearing masks has been triggering for some survivors of trauma and of sexual abuse. Another trigger that isn’t spoken of much and can be challenging for survivors is the COVID-19 test. This is because it can trigger painful memories of oral violations and the sensations that come along, such as the gagging reflex.

Extracting Empathy From a Painful Pandemic
All my growing up years, I had a classmate whose family’s religious convictions kept her from attending field trips and class parties.

7 Ways to Support Autistics During Autism Awareness Month
It’s Autism Awareness Month and many of us who are on the spectrum tend to dread this time of year. Our voices are often drowned out and we are gaslit by people who say they are advocates who are there to help us. Autism Awareness Month can often be very counterproductive to the autistic community. Awareness can turn into fear-mongering and scare tactics. However, there isn’t anything scary about autism.
