I Tend To Be Much More In

I Am Much Less Autistic Now, Compared To When I Was Young. I Remember Some Behaviors Like Picking Carpet Fuzz And Watching Spinning Plates For Hours. I Didn't Want To Be Touched. I Couldn't Shut Out Background Noise. I Didn't Talk Until I Was About 4 Years Old. I Screamed. I Hummed. But As I Grew Up, I Improved.

I'd Rather See A Kid Get Fixated On Something They Can Turn Into A Career.

I Was Nonverbal Until I Was Four Years Old. Back In The 50s, I Was The Kind Of Kid They Used To Just Put Away In An Institution. But Then You Get The Milder Autism Where There's No Speech Delay, But They're Socially Awkward. Those Kids Were Around When I Was A Child. They Were Just Called Geeks And Nerds.

Some Children May Need A Behavioral Approach, Whereas Other Children May Need A Sensory Approach.

It [cats Going Outside The Litter Box] Might Have Something To Do With - You Know, I Am Just Thinking That If I Am The Cat, When I'm Pooping, You Know, I've Got To Strain A Little Bit More And Maybe That Affects How The Kitty Litter Feels On My Paws. I'd Try A Different Sub Straight, Or Something Like That - Make Sure It's Not Slippery.
