AUTISM & ADHD FRIENDLY HOUSE HACKS!!!⎥EXECUTIVE DISFUNCTION⎥ADULTS WITH AUTISM 

You are a good mum.

How does she express that she needs open spaces? I feel i have that need too, our house is tiny and i’m racking brain for space solutions, Is your daughter’s need for space much different than how most people need space?

This resonates with me. I wear the same clothes, just more or fewer layers.

I wonder if it’s because many of those educated in autism are autistic themselves? The thought makes me giggle but I sincerely wonder if it’s true.

I was late diagnosed 23 with ASD and 42 with combined ADHD

There are commonalities! Working memory deficit related accommodations work equally well for ADHD, autism, and DS. :)

I just brought 2 Alexa’s after this comment and it has arrived and I started using it last night it is amazing like my assistant

Masking is fighting to fit into the box that NTs prescribe in all situations when you just can’t but try and pretend you can

Stims help relieve anxiety and yes beatboxing, hair twirling and leg tapping are all examples so are clicking pens and chewing pen lids continuously

Would a comfortable rocking chair be a helpful alternative for you? Rocking chairs used to be in almost every home and not only for rocking babies. Everyone used them and benefitted from rocking. 😄

A hammock inside or on the balcony is the even more versatile version of a swing 😉

I think there’s a fan or something going on in the background.

@@kayelle8005 Fan + room reverb/echo + some harshness in the mic itself. Dynamic mic at close distance is one way to deal with it. Lavalier/lapel mic of sufficient quality would have been an improvement, but not as good as a dynamic. Software filtering could have helped too and there are some programs now that remove noise pretty automatically and do an OK job of it. Can’t make a bad mic or recording space sound professional, but can get them sounding much better at least. Acoustic treatments in the room would have helped with the reverb. As an aside, if there’s anyone in her family who has sound sensitivity or sound processing issues, adding acoustic treatments in that room and maybe other places in the house too would probably have a quality of life improvement. It can be like wearing shoes that are maybe OK enough or sleeping on a mattress that’s maybe OK enough, etc. and then wearing shoes that are super comfortable and maybe your knees and ankles that you didn’t even specifically realize were bothering you stop bothering you so much and you feel way better or sleeping on a mattress that’s enough better that it improves the quality of your sleep so you feel more rested … Sensory stress is a thing and for a lot of us, we basically need all the help we can get, even minor gains. The less stress “spoons” (see: spoon theory) I spend on relatively minor stuff like shoes and room reverb, the more I have available to cope with the major stuff. Plus the whole “death by a thousand cuts” thing where even if there aren’t major stressors, an accumulation of minor ones is still crap.

@@Jonny51982 I have sensory and visual issues from ME/CFS and permanent tinnitus so I understand how debilitating it is. It’s very frustrating. I find people are willing to be slightly more understanding and accommodating with visual issues (except RU-vidrs that don’t know how to film or who love quick edits) but people are way less understanding of auditory issues. If I ask someone to repeat something because they have mumbled or looked away while speaking, or there’s been too much background noise so many get annoyed or offended.

Good reminder to upgrade my mattress and shoes. Might help my hips. Thank you.

We mounted it to a stud in the ceiling… I feel like the holes could be filled in pretty easily for a renting situation but I’ve also seen free standing swing beams for sale if you didn’t want to risk it.

Really that’s great! Can you provide a link to an example of those free standing beams?

Yeah! We tie dye every summer. I was about to toss that shirt because it was stained but tie dye saved the day lol.

I can't image God cares that much about such a trivial and societally specific taboo.

Your comment is rude and extremely self-centered. The world doesn't revolve around your religious beliefs.

Shame it doesn’t grow on trees
