thoughts from my autistic brain. do you know what I mean though? #latediagnosedautistic #momonthespectrum #audhd
YOU’RE NOT “TOO SENSITIVE” 🌟💡 For many neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, being told we're “too sensitive” can make us doubt ourselves. But #sensitivity isn’t a flaw—it's valuable feedback from our body about the #world around us. Trusting that feedback can lead to better self-understanding and confidence. Let’s stop internalizing those messages and start appreciating our unique perspectives! Do you relate to this?

WE DO IT DIFFERENTLY 🌟✨ Autism brings unique #parenting moments, and that's okay. When my #kids have #meltdowns, I let them process their emotions instead of reacting to others’ judgments. Embrace doing things differently—it’s a #celebration of our strengths and differences. How do you embrace "different" in your family? #momonthespectrum #latediagnosedautistic #adhd #autisticadults #aspergirl #autism_lovers #autismstrong #autismfamilies #autism #autismadvocate #autismacceptance #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #autismwarrior #mentalhealthadvocate #anxietyawareness #tips

QUESTIONING YOUR REALITY 🌫️🧠 For many neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, second-guessing your own feelings and experiences can be an exhausting cycle. You might #overthink situations, talk yourself out of valid emotions, or feel ungrounded because the truth seems unclear. Recognizing this pattern is important to start trusting yourself again. Have you ever felt this way? Let’s connect in the comments! #momonthespectrum #latediagnosedautistic #adhd #autisticadults #aspergirl #autism_lovers #autismstrong #autismfamilies #autism #autismadvocate #autismacceptance #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #autismwarrior #mentalhealthadvocate #anxietyawareness #tips
GASLIGHTING AND AUTISM 🚨🧠 Gaslighting happens when someone manipulates you into doubting your own reality. Unfortunately, neurodivergent #people, including those with autism, may also #gaslight themselves, questioning their feelings or experiences. It’s disorienting and can leave you feeling uncentered and unsure of what’s #real. Recognizing #gaslighting is the first step to reclaiming your sense of #truth and grounding. Have you experienced this? Let’s talk in the comments! #momonthespectrum #latediagnosedautistic #adhd #autisticadults #aspergirl #autism_lovers #autismstrong #autismfamilies #autism #autismadvocate #autismacceptance #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #autismwarrior #mentalhealthadvocate #anxietyawareness #tips

DEAL WITH DEMAND AVOIDANCE 🗓️✨ Demand avoidance is common in Autism and can often stem from a perceived lack of autonomy. Empowering your child by giving them choices—like when or how to complete tasks—can make a big difference. For example, create a checklist they can work through at their own pace, with a small reward at the end. Flexibility can turn resistance into cooperation. What autonomy-building strategies have worked for you?

BUDGET YOUR SPOONS 🥄✨ Autism means being mindful of energy. Spoon theory helps us track energy for big events—like school parties or parent meetings. Rest before and after those overwhelming moments, and talk to your kids about what to expect. Planning ahead keeps everyone’s “spoons” intact! How do you manage energy for big days? #momonthespectrum #latediagnosedautistic #adhd #autisticadults #aspergirl #autism_lovers #autismstrong #autismfamilies #autism #autismadvocate #autismacceptance #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #autismwarrior #mentalhealthadvocate #anxietyawareness #tips
SUPPORT EMOTIONAL REGULATION 🌟💆‍♀️ For Autistic kids, understanding nervous system regulation is key. They often live in a state of overstimulation, so helping them find calm is essential. Encourage stimming, teach EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), and explore meditation—there are plenty of free options for kids on YouTube. Even intentional breathing can make a huge difference. These tools aren’t just calming—they’re empowering. What has worked for your child? Let’s share and support each other! #momonthespectrum #latediagnosedautistic #adhd #autisticadults #aspergirl #autism_lovers #autismstrong #autismfamilies #autism #autismadvocate #autismacceptance #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #autismwarrior #mentalhealthadvocate #anxietyawareness #tips
SAVE YOUR ENERGY 💡✨ Advocating for Autism is meaningful, but not everyone is open to learning. Don’t waste your precious energy trying to educate people who refuse to understand. If someone consistently shows they're not receptive, it’s okay to set boundaries. Redirect your efforts to support your kids, yourself, and those who value your voice. Advocacy is powerful, but so is self-care! How do you handle these situations?

CREATE SAFE MELTDOWN SPACES 🛋️✨ Having a safe #meltdown space can make a huge difference for Autistic kids. At home, it could be a cozy corner or even a closet with comforting items like blankets or pillows. At school, it might be a counselor’s office or another quiet spot. Talk to your kids regularly—outside of meltdown moments—about identifying and using these spaces when they feel overwhelmed. What strategies work for your family?

EMPOWER KIDS WITH WORDS 💬✨ Giving kids the right labels, like Autism or #ADHD, isn’t about labeling them as “different” but giving them tools to understand themselves. Without these words, they might feel misunderstood or mislabeled as lazy or stubborn. Teaching terms like sensory overwhelm, demand avoidance, meltdowns, and shutdowns helps kids make sense of their experiences. It’s never too early to give them a vocabulary that empowers!

HEALING SHAME TOGETHER 💙✨ Autism can come with feelings of shame, especially when kids feel "different." When your child shares these emotions, sit with them. Let them feel through it without rushing to make the feelings disappear. Processing emotions like shame is a powerful step toward healing and self-acceptance. Let’s create spaces where our kids feel seen and supported! How do you handle moments like these?

TALKING THROUGH TOUGH TOPICS 💬✨ Autism doesn’t mean avoiding the hard conversations—it’s about helping our kids process the scary or tough moments in ways they can understand. Share your struggles in an age-appropriate way, and let them see how you navigate challenges. This creates connection and shows them it's okay to face and talk about difficult emotions. What tough topics have you navigated together? #momonthespectrum #latediagnosedautistic #adhd #autisticadults #aspergirl #autism_lovers #autismstrong #autismfamilies #autism #autismadvocate #autismacceptance #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #autismwarrior #mentalhealthadvocate #anxietyawareness #tips
CELEBRATE THEIR JOURNEY🌟💙 Autism isn’t about meeting someone else’s standard—it’s about celebrating where your child is right now. Focus on their unique strengths, call them out, and celebrate every victory. Their journey is theirs alone, and it’s worth cheering for every step of the way! What strengths do you love celebrating in your child? Share below! #momonthespectrum #latediagnosedautistic #adhd #autisticadults #aspergirl #autism_lovers #autismstrong #autismfamilies #autism #autismadvocate #autismacceptance #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #autismwarrior #mentalhealthadvocate #anxietyawareness #tips
EMBRACE UNIQUE ROUTINES 💡✨ Parenting an Autistic child means honoring their unique patterns and timelines. Their needs—like when to rest, study, or engage in activities—might not align with neurotypical routines, and that’s okay. Whenever possible, let their natural rhythms guide their schedule. Flexibility helps them thrive, even if it looks different from their peers. How have you adjusted routines for your neurodivergent child?

PREP WITH VISUALS 🎯✨ For Autistic kids, knowing what to expect can make new experiences so much smoother. Before events like birthday parties, use visual guides and talk through the details—what they’ll see, how activities work, and what comes next. This simple prep can build confidence and reduce overwhelm. How do you help your kids feel ready for new situations?

BUILDING TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS 👩‍🏫✨ When raising kids with Autism, maintaining a positive relationship with their teachers or caretakers is key. Even if formal accommodations aren’t in place, open communication helps everyone stay on the same page. Share strategies or accommodations that work for your child, and don’t forget to show appreciation for their efforts. Teachers are incredible partners on this journey!
