A new normal – The Autistic Mermaid
https://theaspiemermaid.wordpress.com/2016/06/07/a-new-normal
What does normal look like? For me, it changes all the time. Life stuff happens and you have to deal with it. Not always easy when you’re autistic and unexpected change can send you into a shutdown. Luckily, most of the changes in my life recently have been ones that I can control or at least plan a little bit for. Now I’m unemployed. I don’t have to pay for childcare. Petrol is expensive and the benefits that I do get (ESA) don’t allow for long road trips and family days out. All common worries I assume.
I’m High Functioning… but – The Autistic Mermaid
https://theaspiemermaid.wordpress.com/2016/11/12/im-high-functioning-but/comment-page-1
I’m High Functioning… but. Time and time again, and most recently, yesterday, on a comment thread on Facebook, Neurotypical adults (usually parents of autistic children) see me (and other autistic adults) express ourselves well, eloquently and articulately online and make huge assumptions about us. Well this post is a big FUCK YOU to all those NTs who make such judgements and refuse to accept that autistics like me have anything in common with their children. I’m high functioning but… followi...I’m...
August 2016 – The Autistic Mermaid
https://theaspiemermaid.wordpress.com/2016/08
There’s something poetic about being alone. And I mean totally alone, not just hiding upstairs from your family. When every ounce of tension just washes out of you like a tide receding on the beach. Everything becomes a little clearer and more pure. When your heart rate slows down and your breathing follows suit. When the circus in your brain packs up and moves on. When you can focus on the one thing that you want to instead of the 20 things intruding your mind. When you can allow yourself to get sucked ...
In response – The Autistic Mermaid
https://theaspiemermaid.wordpress.com/2016/05/31/in-response
This blog post is my response to This article. About “what Neurodiversity gets wrong. For an explanation of what Neurodiversity means, see here by Michelle Sutton. I think it’s great that people want to normalize autism. But sometimes they gloss over how disabling it can actually be. No, I don’t think so. So far, so good. I believe that we are disabled not by our differences, but by an ignorant and inflexible society. They don’t see autism as a disorder. They see it as a normal cognitive variation as...
July 2016 – The Autistic Mermaid
https://theaspiemermaid.wordpress.com/2016/07
I just posted on twitter about not having blogged for a while due to lack of laptop but also feeling inferior to other autistic bloggers who I feel are so much more articulate and succinct than I could ever be. Should I explore why I feel like that? But I’m not “official” yet. Does that matter? It does to some people. It shouldn’t matter to me but I guess it does in some ways. Some days I forget that I’m autistic. I think that’s because I’m just me and immediately going about my lif...And some days I fee...

Unasked-for Advice Make Me Cry – the uninspirational
https://theuninspirational.wordpress.com/2016/12/18/unasked-for-advice-make-me-cry
I'm not aspiring to inspire you. Unasked-for Advice Make Me Cry. December 18, 2016. December 25, 2016. The first reason is that getting advice when I’m simply sharing what I’m feeling or what’s going on i my life often means that something that is a huge problem to me is reduced to a minor annoyance. As a consequence of this, I don’t feel validated at all and this is the second reason for why I detest getting unasked-for advice. Needing help for ME as autistic.

The Faulty Version of a Girl – the uninspirational

I'm not aspiring to inspire you. The Faulty Version of a Girl. January 5, 2017. January 5, 2017. In more than one of these occasions, my dad made a comment on how women like me wouldn’t survive a day in the old Wild West saloons. Meaning, women who spoke their minds and refused to conform to the traditional subordinate position expected from women. Women who were loud, wild, didn’t take orders from anyone and who questioned authorities. Women who were disobedient. The Lack of Access Intimacy. Notify me o...

https://theuninspirational.wordpress.com/author/theuninspirational
I'm not aspiring to inspire you. March 6, 2017. March 6, 2017. Love and loathe is mixing. Swirling, tangling, confusing me. I’m scared. I’m furious. Most of all overwhelmed. Why do I fear losing someone who has hurt me so deeply? On some level I love you, but I detest what you have done to me and my child. You try to make me think I won’t survive without you, but you keep making my life harder again and again. I don’t want you to die, but I don’t want you to keep hurting me like this. March 1, 2017.

I’m Crying on My Own – the uninspirational
https://theuninspirational.wordpress.com/2017/01/07/im-crying-on-my-own
I'm not aspiring to inspire you. I’m Crying on My Own. January 7, 2017. Almost ten years later, I’m sad and scared and crying on my own. Because I don’t know how to be comforted. I’ve written about how I have a big problem with when people give me advice that I didn’t ask for ( here. And I’ve written about how being comforted means risking to be erased. I guess until I’ve figured it out, I’ll be crying on my own. The Faulty Version of a Girl. Respectful Parenting in an Ableistic World. Top Posts and Pages.

I’m alone with my fear because I can’t risk getting advice I didn’t ask for – the uninspirational
https://theuninspirational.wordpress.com/2016/02/16/im-alone-with-my-fear-because-i-cant-risk-getting-advice-i-didnt-ask-for
I'm not aspiring to inspire you. I’m alone with my fear because I can’t risk getting advice I didn’t ask for. February 16, 2016. January 7, 2017. Because they will most likely start to try to solve my problems and I will drown with despair from all their advice. So I distance myself from people. Therefore, I’m alone with my fear and anger right now. In a way it’s chosen, but it makes me sad anyway. Update January 2017: A post on the same topic can be found here.

When Being Comforted Means Being Erased – the uninspirational
https://theuninspirational.wordpress.com/2016/07/22/when-being-comforted-means-being-erased
I'm not aspiring to inspire you. When Being Comforted Means Being Erased. July 22, 2016. July 22, 2016. Earlier I wrote that I won’t mourn forever. As much as I want to be comforted, as much as I probably need it, I don’t think I’m ready for it. It’s incredibly sad, but having my autistic experiences erased for so many years has made me incapable of receiving comfort. I really hope it will change.

Why I’m suspicious of optimistic doctors – the uninspirational
https://theuninspirational.wordpress.com/2016/02/12/why-im-suspicious-of-optimistic-doctors
I'm not aspiring to inspire you. Why I’m suspicious of optimistic doctors. February 12, 2016. December 3, 2016. I read an eloquent description of how kids with disabilities learn to be suspicious of optimistic teachers. It’s about a pattern where teachers think they can make a kid’s disability disappear or become irrelevant thanks to their teaching. When it becomes clear that it isn’t happening, the teacher will not be so friendly anymore due to frustration and disappointment. I feel like a hopeless case.

Adventures In Asperger's
Autism Parenting Tips I Learned From Dr. Sheldon Cooper. The turning point was NBC's. One of the kids was diagnosed with Aspergers on the show.

The Big Bang Theory. Is another one of those show that just hit the nail on the head! View that blog post here. This isn't even wor...
