"Memorable moments in life happen when we're not being appropriate"- I always hope for a golden nugget in listening to podcasts/CEU's and that just blew my hair back.
I’ve been traumatized by sex abusers twice in 20 years, for 3 months in 2003, and for four years since 2019. I’m out LGBT for 32 years and have a 1/10 opportunity of the kind of closeness straights and able can take for granted, and probably another 1/ 10 with ASD diagnosis. It’s unfortunate that over 15 years I had worked on relaxation and emotional and physical availability and was more or less past the deficits ASD often contains with respect to intimacy. Then Alcoholics and Addicts in the 12 Step Programs had a 1500 day party peeping and mocking intimate moments with 7 men and now I’m a wreck of nerves, low self image, fear and body shame again. Thanks AA!
I feel like this guy could help to address the anti-ABA/neurodiversity movement. Under all the misinformation there's some valid concerns that sound like what he's talking about.
Hey, Dr. Pete! Where have I heard that line about having x number of friends? Since this month is Autism Acceptance Month and my family here in Boston are mostly ASD and/or LGBTQIA+ I've been thinking a lot about the overlap. Especially with states banning trans care saying autistics are too naïve to make an informed decision. I think that being born wired differently that of course those of us with ASD experience gender and sexuality far different from NTs. I've dipped my toes in that lovely bubble bath that is the LGBTQIA+ and it wasn't something that I stayed with forever but I can say that it is not repugnant to me.
