Hi @beck1!
Thank you for the check in! 🎈
Answering your amazing questions here. ☀️
1) What is something you hope to gain from being part of this community?
➡️ I want to gain more knowledge and insight on autism so that I can be a better listener and person. Also, to understand the struggles of people with autism.
2) What is something you hope to see posted or featured?
➡️ Probably more posts about how to understand people with autism better and also some interactive activities to do. ☀️
3) Would you prefer the check ins to be done weekly or monthly?
➡️ Personally, I would like to see them monthly because sometimes these check ins make me think, discover and learn more and it takes time before I prepare myself for another. Although, once in two weeks can work too! But of course, it's not just about me. I would like to see how other people see it. 🎈
@Yougotmyback so glad to see you again!!
Its awesome that you are wanting to learn more about autism 😊 Are there any specific things that you would like to learn about?
Oooh I love interactive posts so I definitely will be creating some in the future! You might find these threads here helpful too 😎
Hii! Good to see you too. 💞
Probably what kind of problems are faced by people with autism and how I can support them better. Even though I have read the thread, I still feel I need to learn more specifically about how to be more empathetic and considerate about their needs. 💛
I have been talking to two people and I hope that helps me understand better but I'd still love to see a post about it. 😄
@Yougotmyback
I think something to remember is every autistic person is different and the problems that we face are different too. 😊 You can always make a thread on this sub community if you want if you have specific questions. That way, people who are part of this community can answer!!
For me, as I just discovered myself that I had autism this month only after long struggles of depression and anxiety, I had difficulty making conversations in person than in virtual. I feel like I lack words to say when I met someone I knew. And also regarding my behavior, I found myself making the same pattern in my routine over and over again as if I find it hard to change my behavior abruptly. I feel like I need a longer time to adapt to new patterns of behavior. And also, I found myself lonelier in the process because most people here in our place has lack of knowledge regarding autism disorder. And I always feel alienated by my colleagues and relatives.
Good thing I had a family and a partner who loves and supports me unconditionally. ☺️ That's why even though I had very tough battles to face everyday, I am able to cope with it.
