Tuesday September 17, 2024 | Autism stims | Self-stimulatory behaviors | Lip-farting

-
No wonder I can control it.  This is not even related to Tardive Diskinesia.  It is not even related to being a habit! ahhhhh stupid people!    I have a question.  Is Lip-farting an autistic stim?  This is probably a verbal stim?  I have heard Jason make a humming sound whenever he was doing something.  I just let it go because I though it was a bad habit.  Just like I thought that the lip-farting was a bad habit.  Maybe, perhaps it could be um.... autistic stim? Maybe?  If it is, why is this popping up now?  Wouldn't I be diagnosed with autism in childhood? Unless my childhood doctor missed it?  I was diagnosed with SM when I was 4 but I believe that I had SM when I was two and three years old--when I was in preschool.  Why? Because I physically couldn't speak when I was two and three years old.  It started when I was in preschool when I physically could not speak to teachers and my peers.  Then it eventually moved to my distant relatives then my grandmother and aunts and uncles and cousins.  I just feel I can't get the words out.  I just need a little help on speaking.  And this Lip-farting?  It's a verbal stem maybe?  I think it's maybe um... uh... like it's um.... a way for it get me to um... speak.  I don't know.  What do you think?  

So the one doing this lip-farting or humming is not aware of it until someone says something.

Sunday August 25, 2024 | My dream on Saturday night August 24 | Hypnosis for selective mutism

-
I had a dream that I was in the hospital in Galveston Texas like the one I was in when I was 10 years old.  Working on getting rid of SM through hypnosis.  Is there a good hynosis therapist in Beaumont Texas who specializes in selective mutism?   I am determined to overcome selective mutism now or at least most of the way.  Some idiot told me that I won't be able to overcome SM entirely.  Ugh!  Or will I be able to overcome SM entirely?

Wednesday August 28, 2024 | Do parent's say this to their kids who have a disability? (the highlighted words in this blog)

-
Got this from copilot from the question I asked, " would people pleasing be an example of "you don't want to disappoint mom do you"? "   Is this true?   Sorry I had a flash back of my dad saying that question phrase that is highlighted in yellow.    (A phrase that my dad said to me when I was 3 and 4 years.)  Ah, the delicate dance between parental expectations and a child’s desire to please! 🕺🌼 Let’s waltz through this topic, shall we? “You don’t want to disappoint mom, do you?” —a phrase that can carry both love and a subtle weight. It’s like a mini emotional tug-of-war, with the child caught in the middle, clutching their teddy bear and pondering life’s mysteries.   Here’s the scoop: The Mom Guilt Tango : Parents often mean well when they say this. They want their child to succeed, be kind, and make them proud. It’s like they’re handing the child a bouquet of expectations, hoping they’ll bloom into the perfect little sunflower....

I knew this when I was 5 and no one had to tell me this. So is this really true? But because I have selective mutism, my learning challenging and people think that I am stupid. It is that communication thing that people think that I'm stupid. I know the highlighted and BIG LETTERS SOUNDS unreasonable, I just want to get across to people that I am anxious all the time! Do I have to start cursing for you people to hear me? I will. I know that BIG MOTHER OF ALL CURSE WORDS. I bet no one knew that did they? Actually, I got it from those kids at the hospital in Galveston when I was in the hospital back in 1984. So I knew about that word when I was about 9 or 10 years old. Actually when I was 4 years old I felt like I didn't belong because I was trying to tell myself how or where I got my selective mutism and I felt that way for a long time. Maybe my dad has ADHD? Perhaps my parents have ADHD and it somehow turns into autism in children? High-functioning Autism. I th...
