The Autistic mind is not the problem, please open your eyes to see the true potential and facts about Neurodivergence.

The idea that it is something harmful, that only serves to disable and negativily impact people is just a lie perpetuated by medical professionals suffering from cognitive dissonance and Charity organisations trying to make money by guilting people into donating funds that fatten the wallets of their CEOs (The CEO of Autism $Peak$ earnt over $600,000 last year 🤬) They depend on you believing that Autism is a bad "thing", but it is only bad if misunderstood.

We have come on so far from the idea that Autism is a thing people "have" that harms them and their families. We now know that it is not the Autistic brain that is harmful, but the environment, the treatment, and actual indavidual disabilities that often accompany Neurodivergence. We also know most anger issues and self harm stems from anxiety and trauma, not Neurodivergence. We are just more vulnerable and sensitive to this world, but that doesn't mean we should be treated with less respect.

As far as severely disabled Autistic people are concerned, that is mostly due to a lack of synaptic building in the brain, which means they get stuck at a certain age and can only develop by mimicking those around them. So most growing is copied, rather than happening naturally within the brain. This will result in developmental delays, but sometimes those synaptic pathways can build in the teenage years as the brain goes through a second round of pruning, making way for new pathways to be made.

As far as support goes, this harmful language doesn't need to be used, there are far more accurate ways of indavidualising someone's disabilities without negativily impacting and stereotyping an entire group of people. In fact it is far better for a child with additional needs to be assessed on those needs individually, rather than treating Autism as the problem, which doesn't help at all, because no Autistic person is the same as the next. All it does is make kids and adults feel like their is something wrong with them, and limits the potential of every Autistic person.

So I'm asking you to do one thing, just one, before you comment. If you disagree, just wait a while before you react, do some research, look into what I've said, and perhaps you will see what a better world we would have for our people, if we all worked together to improve things, cos at the moment, the system is broken, and we are suffering because of it.

(Not ALL professionals and charities, but many of them, especially the ones that teach the bottom graph as fact)

But even without really living it, you can be kind.

You can offer an ear (without judgement).
You can come sit with our kids so we can shower or nap.
You can send a coffee gift card or a text of support.
You can hold our hand while we cry and sit in the silence with us.

Because this life isn't what we chose,
Its not what we expected,
Its not something we'd wish on anyone
Or expect others to embrace,
But we also wouldn't trade it for anything.

Because as much as extreme parenting
Pains us,
Exhausts us,
Stretches us,
Pushes us,
Scars us,
Lies to us,
Convinces us we are failing,
We aren't.

Our kids, in all of their struggles, desperately need us.
No matter how many times our extreme children yell hurtful things, thrash and throw stuff, or insist they hate us, they don't.
They will continue to come back to us because we are theirs.

And mamas, that is sooooo hard.
Its so tiring.
It is endlessly maddening.
But it is ours.
And we're in this life together. 💜

And we might share that side with you, friend.
Because most parents can understand and support another mama's desire to advocate for her kids.

But the fight at home, when everyone else is riding bikes and enjoying popsicles on the sidewalk this summer, those are the things we don't fully share.

Because it can be ugly,
And messy,
And scary,
And shameful.

It shouldn't be.
But it is.
Because so few really 'get it'.

It is rare to find another human who lives every minute of every day 'on' because if they rest--even for a second--it could mean danger for their child or someone else.

Maybe our kid is lower functioning so they risk a fall or exploring an outlet with a fork.
Maybe our kid has behaviors so they may become impulsive and things get broken.
Maybe our child is emotionally disregulated and they can cause harm to themselves or others.
Maybe our child's anxiety gets triggered and their reaction is so loud we are in constant fear of a call from the police or DCS or our landlord.

No matter what our specifics, we NEVER fully rest.

When our kids aren't with us, we exist in a sort of paralyzed sense of fear for when they may need us or the phone might ring or something may happen.

Friends, it is exhausting in a kind of way we don't share because we truly don't expect you to understand.

Extreme Parenting - I hear you and hold you every day as my life purpose. ❤️

Here's what most people just can't understand about being the parent of a child with extra needs...

We are never honest with you.
Not all the way.

It's nothing personal.
Its not for a lack of trust in you.
Its not because you did anything wrong.
It's because we are certain you won't understand.

And that's okay.
We don't expect you to...not fully.

See, when a parent of an extreme child says "I'm tired," what we really mean is that we absolutely cannot anymore.

We have nothing left.
We are a brand of exhausted they don't even have human words to adequately describe.

The idea of self-care feels hilarious to us.
Not because we mean to diminish your hair appointment or long run, we want that for you.
But because it can legitimately take DAYS for us to relax enough to begin to breathe normally, much less actually recharge who we once were as human people before extreme parenting.

Our kids remain our greatest gift.
We love them with a ferocity many can't fathom because we HAVE to fight for them.
For their accomodations,
For their meds,
For their appointments,
For their equity,
For their basic human rights.
