When autists have "sensorary overload" other humans interracting with them just makes them more stressed and freaked out, so leaving them alone (or recording, just not talking to them) is the best thing you can do.
Wikipedia on Sensory Overload en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_overload
Symptoms:
- "Shuts down", or refuses to participate in activities and/or interact with others
- Avoids touching or being touched
- Over-sensitivity to touch, movement, sights, and/or sounds
- Has trouble with social interactions
Causes
Touch: Tactile sensations such as being touched by another person or the feel of cloth on skin.
Usually Wikipedia is enough, right? i mean they have sources to every claim at the bottom of the page
Yes i do believe that wikipedia is a valid source, as it is data collected from other places which you can then go to and determine the validity and credibility of the source. usually a trustworthy source has been used
And thanks man, you showed up with some actual source, most will just argue to eternity.
But, many of the symptoms applies to the dog like being touched more so than if it were a human , sights and sounds too. The dog is all over her.
But yeah, it probably varies from autist to autist.
True
I personally always feel more safe around my dog because It's just so full of love for everyone and I dont think it'd ever hurt me, so I guess it's the same for them. But yeah, it varies.
Extreme fisting.
I'm not going to say it was rhetorical, but i already knew that.
Still, provoking a mental situation, to provoke the dog into showing affection and care, to show how amazing the care and compassion of a dog is.
I find it weird as **** . I don't know what it is, the woman, the too much stageness even though it's justified.
It's not staged, and she filmed it herself to raise awareness of aspergers. It wasn't provoked - she started to have a meltdown, and turned on the camera. Someone posted a link to the article somewhere.
so it is kind of staged
I know, and i find it weird.
I always find videos where people are having/or showing a "vulnerable" side of them in order to get a message through ******* cringeworthy no matter how noble the cause is also, even though i support the actual cause
I just don't like it mang.
Thanks man. Any chance you know which disorder that is?
My brother has Schizoaffective Disorder which also gives him mood swings, in addition to hallucinations/delusions. Not like what's seen in the content though, so I'm still befuddled.
I think that's low functioning, severe autism, I'm on the spectrum but I have high functioning, barely noticeable, kinda like asperger's, there are different kinds.
Yet again there are severe versions to every end of the spectrum.
mine was proven false by my military doctor,a local doctor(twice) a psychologist (twice) and they still want me to go see a different doctor because certainly there is something wrong with me for skipping one meeting some 5 years ago...
im trying to get a job. and doing it solo has been difficult to say the least...my profession has no jobs at all this north..and moving south...is costy.
Oh, sorry, it's hard trying to get my name in films coming from North Wales, I kinda get how you feel that way but still, **** your social workers for postponing your move to somewhere better for work.
This is a service dog. The person in the gif has autism and was having some kind of breakdown. Pooch helped.
This is why I love dogs and have chosen to work with them. They're smart as **** and can do **** most humans can't. Dogs are absolutely ******* fantastic for people with autism, or other LD's.
Knew a guy who was deadly afraid of dogs and would run at the sight of them. So naturally his parents bought a dog that was just as damaged as he was he had downs and in a week he lost all fear of dogs.
What kind of dog? big and mean looking? I have grown up around dogs, and i fear humans much more. Yea sure humans are more easily predictable, but if you know what you are doing at what to do around a dog as long as it is not feral then the risk of getting attacked is miniscule. alas, i get it we all have fears. Unless you get help from Cesar Millan i dont think its gonna be easy if you even want to rid yourself of that fear.
Seeing people with mental issues as serious as this hurts me. They're humans that lack what makes humanity so great, and I find that ******* depressing.
That's a chick don't know her name, she has Aspergers. The Rottweiler is a service dog and she recorded herself while having an episode to demonstrate the importance of service dogs.
Wow... I'm kinda glad that my case of aspergers is much milder than her's...
She must be struggling quite a bit.
See, this is why therapy is important.
Basically it's like being born without the "gut" feeling. So it's a bit difficult to follow normal morals or reading people's emotions as well as knowing when we **** up.
It tends to pile on when the results of the **** up kinda show up all at once.
Still, dogs are pretty nice, too.
Unlike humans they don't really have a strict code of conduct, and know how to communicate love in every language.
