(5) faster than my brain can process the info they are giving me

(4) I think they may have also said if I chose the precheck and if I needed a pat down that I wouldn’t get a passenger support specialist during it but I’m not a 100% sure. Calling is sometimes hard to retrain all the info, let alone keep up with what people are telling me if they are talking

(3) makes this even worse for me. When I called, TSA cares said even if I chose the precheck that there wasn’t a guarantee I wouldn’t get a pat down either.

(2) getting a possible pat down. Never had one and I think having a support specialist there to help me through that would be the main benefit. I called TSA cares, they said if I need one then they always have a female do it which is very helpful. but still afraid of it. having sensory problems

(1) one important thing I forgot to add to my last post about having to fly through the Seattle airport as a recently diagnosed autistic person: idk whether it’s better to choose TSA precheck, or to choose a TSA passenger support specialist to help me through the process. I am terrified of

(2) give me any info, tips, life hacks, what to expect, info for preparing as an autistic person it would be greatly appreciated!

(1) I normally am able to figure things out on my own, but this is different because I am flying for the first time ever and I will be at the Seattle airport. I also got diagnosed with autism just a couple weeks ago which has helped tremendously with understanding myself. Anyhow, if anyone can

(12) skills or resources to handles these types of things. I think it’s going to take funding, new or better programs to help neurodivergent individuals prepare and cope in these types of settings, etc.

(11) healthcare workers say “well if your kids like that then just take them to a facility who can handle it”. but that doesn’t take into consideration potential insurance problems, inability to drive hundreds of miles to get there, and just not having enough facilities in general who have the

(10) I think the solution to this is going to take a group of people who genuinely want to help make things better for everyone and brainstorm how to solve this issue. I think there are multiple reasons why this has become a struggle in our healthcare system and part of that is systemic

(9) or won’t even try to give us the external support we need before we ever even step foot into that clinic to begin with!

(8) that alone would help A LOT. it would give parents and autistic people relief in knowing that maybe we don’t actually have to avoid healthcare out of fear of having a potential meltdown and being potentially arrested for it or fearing having staff that don’t try to help us and won’t understand

(7) adding a disclaimer to these signs that say “we understand if you or your child has special needs, and we want to help. please talk with us before your appointment so we can see how we can make accommodations to help you and/or your child”.

000

(6) as an autistic person, these signs have always been incredibly confusing for me. I think it would be very helpful for both parents of neurodivergent children AND autistic individuals in general if the sign had a disclaimer to explain things better

001

(5) and that these kinds of situations are more complex and a gray area, and that we all need to come together to try to figure out how to make the system better for the healthcare workers AND for the child!

000

(4) when these parents bring up these concerns, what they are probably meaning is that they are afraid of police being called and fear having their child be potentially arrested, charged with a crime, etc.

000

(3) and they prepare far in advance to try to prevent it from happening in the first place before these kids ever step foot into that clinic,hospital, etc.

000

(2) seem to completely misunderstand the parents and think that the parents don’t care if healthcare workers get hurt. trust me, THEY DO CARE! and they NEVER want anything like that to happen to anyone!

(1) I am sure most of us have seen these signs around healthcare places. here’s what I think/feel about it as someone with autism: I have noticed that whenever a parent of a neurodivergent/autistic/special needs child brings up concerns and fears about these signs, many healthcare workers

It’s hard to even imagine having to experience something like that. it’s a true, systemic failure for these autistic individuals.

(3) because if that’s the case, then it makes it incredibly hard for some autistic people to cope or to know how to handle certain situations. and to know that some autistic people may be currently sitting in our prison system due to never being diagnosed is just plain sad.

000

(2) and to further explain, what I am meaning is: could there be autistic people who were never diagnosed and as a result of that, were arrested when they were struggling and just never got the external support they needed to prevent and/or cope with meltdowns?

Getting diagnosed with autism has been life changing. I have been processing so much lately, and I had some realizations that I really think society should consider: Could there be autistic people currently sitting in our jail/prison system due to meltdowns and they don’t even know they have it?

How I cope when my whole state is engulfed in wildfires lmao

I sincerely hope he gets a fabulous case of ✨explosive diarrhea✨ Pretty hard to make dumbass decisions like this when he’s in solitary confinement on his porcelain throne in the bathroom 😂

I can only imagine how much stress and trauma this causes for all of the civilians over there having to see these air strikes and bombs up close and in real life! That’s not good for their mental health, or even physical health. It harms children’s brain development due to trauma and stress from it

What makes me furious is that while yes there are absolutely corrupt and bad people in the Middle East (which is the case for every country on the planet!) there are also regular, INNOCENT and harmless civilians just living life, minding their own business, etc. and they have to deal with this!

Sure wish we could NOT have a fucking belligerent man baby as a president who thinks he’s almighty and so smart with his decision making with using fucking bombs and air strikes irresponsibly!

(3) why would anyone want to kill children? they haven’t done anything. they don’t deserve any of this.

(2) people were raped, tortured, etc. on October 7th. that’s not okay and whoever committed those crimes should be held accountable. but to have Israel handle this war the way they have….its so wrong.

120

(1) After seeing tons of footage from the archives….i just can’t understand why anyone would think it’s okay to kill and injure children in Palestine. the way Israel has handled this entire war is just wrong. it’s inhumane. it’s cruelty. yes, October 7th was tragic. people lost loved ones.
