  • something that’s also important to point out is support needs are an average of what they are like therefore they can’t fluctate from day to day only over lnoger periods of time. and going changing fully from level isnt’ super common especially by the time you are a teenager. Most peopel stay that level theire tnire lives. maybe going form high level 2 to low level 3 or something along thsoe line drastic changes in support needs are rare. and usually only happen related ot autistic catatonia or autsitic regression (not burnout child disintegrative disorder stuff) or if they are lucky and rapidly develop and catch up to near their peers. It’s not incredibly common it does happen but it’s usually over hte course of atleast months if not years.







  • Idk, i’m not sure how good of an idea it is to make a parent mod. Alot of people including me thinks it’s a bit problematic. Like spicy autism is n’t a plce for parents. they are guests. Much like i woudln’t expect the r/autsim_parenting sub to have a level 3 mod. I don’t think it’s nessicary for a hig support needs mod to be here. me and the c/autism mods have been talking about ways we can keep the subs from beinga each others throats. As it grows larger i’ll bring people on as mod. I guess i could bring some mods from the discord/matrix/revolt server in to the subreddit. Which is likely what iw ill end up doing. Things we’ve discussed to help rpomote unity is bringing me on as amod as a level3 to represnet the higher supportneeds people, and also making policies and taking a harder stance against abliems towards high support eneds people. I’m willing working to grow arctic autism into something bigger. We’ve open up our discord to the public before it was invite online. (I was nervous to do so because i worried it might invite the wrong crowd) As a result we have adopted a screening process. I’m really not so sure if we should have an autism parent mod, that’s partially cause the parent mod on spicy autsim was extremely nasty and passive aggresive to me and threatened me and stuff.



  • the rpobelm with htis is as a high support needs ausitic person it’s very difficult to put things like this in motion cause it takes oto much energy. we might be abl to maek a post with defintions and pin it. We cana lso take a harder stance on misinformaiton than spciy autsim did in which tehy didnt’ take too much of a stance on it from wat i remember. Also teh spicy autism mod team falsely banned me adn accused me of very bad things which i dind’t do. We should work together to make something better but they insist on burning the bridge.
