I have managed to record myself in the onset of a sensory crisis, aka sensory overload induced meltdown. This video is intended to give context around sensory overload and allow other people dealing with sensory overload issues to relate and not feel alone.
The question I get asked most commonly by parents of autistic children is "Should I tell my child that they are autistic?". This video is my view on what can be positive and what can be negative about it.
A short burst of knowledge about 'stimming', a form of self-southing that is often associated with autsim, but is actually a mechanism that every human being utilises.
I am describing the difference between the Medical Model of Disability and the Environmental Model of Disability.
Autistic people often grow up learning instinctively to 'mask', pretending to be neurotypical to be able fit into neurotypical society.
I went out and talked to people on the street, asking them what they know about Autism.
This is my personal experience, the medical criteria used to diagnose autism and scientific research into the neurological causes of Autism.
