https://lnkd.in/d-BvdJYq Children with autism are often rigid thinkers and lean toward perfectionism. This may make them feel it is essential to always win at every game or to always be top of their class, and that anything less than that means they failed. They may have a hard time grasping that not everyone can win or be right all the time. Competition and perfectionism come into play in all of our lives, but these things can be particularly difficult for individuals on the spectrum. The sense of failure that comes with not performing just as well as your peers can be intense and almost debilitating for some people. We want to help people get to a place where there is such a thing as "Good Enough". Negative Impact of Competition on Autistic Individuals: Competition can be detrimental for many children on the autism spectrum as they may get locked into thought processes, leading to self-esteem issues. Comparisons with peers can be particularly challenging, hindering their ability to engage in activities for their own sake. Perfectionism as a Form of Competitiveness: Perfectionism is observed in some autistic individuals, where they compete not just with others but also with themselves. Examples include a college student discarding well-written work for not matching the quality of published authors and individuals unable to appreciate their own progress in new endeavors. #everythingneurodiversity #marcia #whatisautism #autism #onthespectrum #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #holidays #autism #autistic #adult #autismawareness #autismo #autisticchild #autismacceptance #autismsupport #neurodiversity #robertbernstein #marciaeckerd #marciaeckerdphd

The more we understand the people in the world around us and the more we understand ourselves, the more compassionate we can be. I took the opportunity at the weekend to build on my Level 2 Understanding Autism qualification and focus on the challenges of teenagers thanks to this course being sponsored and free to study via The National Autistic Society at the moment. It can be hard to comprehend the difficulties of so much biological and societal change through teenage years when your natural self favours stability and control. Understanding the long term damage to autistic young people who go through this without support helps in understanding better the challenges of the adults they become. Do you do any learning that is not job related but helps you understand the world and the people around you better? #NationalAutisticSociety #Autism #CPD

https://lnkd.in/ezSfDFQg Watching this lecture by the amazing Professor Francesca Happe is a great illustration of the ever-evolving understanding of neurodiversity, which has become deeper and broader, driven by dedicated individuals such as her. Autism is now being seen as less of a spectrum and more of a constellation…. Autisms as opposed to autism, affecting people of all sexes, genders and ages. Autistic adults are starting to seek answers to the questions they have been asking themselves all their lives. Not only do they no longer have to fit into a neurotypical stereotype, they also don’t have to fit into an autistic stereotype. This includes me. Despite my long (perhaps lifelong) relationship with autism, I claim no expertise. I am not a neuroscientist, nor a psychologist. I am a therapist, one who understands that what feels right for one autistic person won’t feel right for another. So if you want to explore therapy for any reason and you happen to be autistic, come and talk with me. #autism #autisticadults #neurodiversity #counselling #therapy

This month is Autism Awareness Month and I’m here to break few myths related to autism. Next time , if someone tells you they’re autistic don’t tell them that they don’t look like one because autism is a spectrum and not everyone will show every visible traits that’s mentioned in the DSM. Remember, We all have our different strength and challenges and none of them are wrong. What are some of the interesting reasons someone has said to you as to why you can't be autistic? #april #autism #awareness #breaking #the #myths #thisisautism #india #childpsychologist #shortvideo #neurodivergent #mystory

https://lnkd.in/deCHyv7G Marcia Eckerd emphasizes a personalized evaluation process, one person at a time, acknowledging its potential life-changing impact. Eckerd expresses her broader goal of reaching a larger audience through writing, speaking, and social media. She hopes that by sharing her message, more people will become aware of autism and gain knowledge about it. Overall, the focus is on creating a significant impact through awareness, education, and understanding of autism. For adults, this usually means an in-person visit where the doctor asks questions and evaluates how you respond. They will also consider self-reported symptoms. Many psychologists use the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2), a diagnostic assessment when assessing adults. #everythingneurodiversity #marcia #autism #onthespectrum #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #holidays #autism #autistic #adult #autismawareness #autismo #autisticchild #autismacceptance #autismsupport #neurodiversity #robertbernstein #marciaeckerd #marciaeckerdphd
