How I handle being TOUCHED-OUT⎥autistic mom postpartum update⎥

[@katrianem2124]

Thank you for sharing, this is helping me feel like I can be a parent and autistic and adhd.

I have never wanted kids because I never knew how "I" could take care of one. I am going through a breakup where she decided she wants kids and I have felt I do not. I now realize I am likely(and getting a pro opinion) autistic, aspergers and am researching how that affects parenthood. It is very relieving to think I know why I am actually different. It is extremely heartbreaking to know I am the reason my 10 year relationship did not work.. I just need to find my answers if she is the one. if i am autistic. Life is wild..

I work at an early childhood development center and wear long sleeves to limit skin to skin contact. I can not even handle baby making so I am unmarried and childless. I am satisfied with my singleness and allistics can't understand why.

This has been a Wow-moment just now for me. Have the same thing with water (and other things too) and dehydration. If I cant find something to my liking I just put drinking aside. Even though I know how very important drinking is. I mean this is one of the reasons why I am picky about what goes into me. Thank you for sharing that! ❤️

My son is autistic and he HATES tap water too ♥️❤️♥️ we have an expensive water filter. BEST decision I ever made 😂🥰

I LOVE my Iron Flask water bottle - some how having my water in a giant stainless steel bottle, that isn't see-thru, not only makes it taste better, but I drink more when I can't see it LOL And not to mention, it stays the same temperature for hours. I have a 40oz bottle and I typically drink up to 2 of them per day! Edit to add - I just wanted to give a little teeny tid bit of Constructive Criticism, and having ADHD myself and RSD, I always worry about upsetting people when I give this advice lol so I hope it doesn't come off in any negative way! I absolutely love your videos, but having Auditory Processing issues, I do find it so hard to focus on what creators are saying when there is a background music, or atleast when it's a louder one - I don't know if it's just me, but the music sounds the same volume as your voice, so it was difficult to focus, but I did make it through, and LOVED the video!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of these tips and for sharing your experience! 💜

Stainless steel is a must for my water bottles and tumblers! Everything else tastes off for me. I appreciate the constructive criticism and I also struggled with the audio. My husband has been helping with editing and I didn’t catch that one in time 🙈. I let him know not to include overlaying sounds anymore.

@@neurodivergentme You guys are doing amazing with your content!! I absolutely love it! I actually mentioned this same feedback to a Speech Therapist who does KZbin Vids, and she doesn't use that overlaying background music anymore! Much much more accessible and easier to process! It's funny because I'm totally a Sensory Seeker in most things, even sound, but when there's two or more sounds around the same volume, happening at the same time lol that's when I feel like my brains doing a workout to try and process it 😂 Thank you so much for doing what you do! You were one of the first adult autistic women I found, that helped me realize I too was autistic, and I sought a private assessment and got my diagnosis! So you've changed my life, and I'm sure many more!!

Hi Kathleena! It’s good to hear both you and baby are doing well. Happy 2022!

[@neurodivergentme]

I love rain! 🌧

[@mathieuleader8601]

glad you enjoyed your berries and bran flakes and enjoyed your walks Kathleena also I'm glad that you and your little girl arrived safely and that you are doing your very best to make yourself feel comfortable.

[@autumn5852]

I’m curious, why can’t you go out when it’s raining?

[@neurodivergentme]

It’s a sensory thing. I can go out if it’s just a light drizzle and have an umbrella but anything more isn’t enjoyable for me.

You put up boundries for your baby?
