Phasing to 'Typicalness'
I have had quite an odd week. It hasn’t been quiet but it hasn't got quick either. So I helped do some volunteer work at one point I had to travel up to Barnstaple, which about an hour and a half away from where I am. It was interesting, but I definitely got tired. I could tell by one reason- ⚠Phasing⚠.
Phasing is a term me and my parents used when I skip between different ‘realities’. So it was fun seeing the road on the way home disappear then reappear and then turn to grass. I don’t really have this issue now, as I can usually control it. At one point I thought the world it was in was 2D, really didn’t help I was next to Ikea . The best thing I can do is sleep but trying to sleep with you have really weird things happening around you. I can see some people thinking about what is the difference between that and a meltdown. It is pretty much as simple as phasing is quite an odd and rare trait to have meltdown happen to pretty much everyone. Also with a meltdown, the world either stops or slows down, in phasing everything just changes in a blink of an eye.
I would also like to talk about a show I have watched since it has come out. I know it has got a lot of hate. It’s a program on Netflix called Atypical. It follows an autistic boy through high school, here in the UK it would be college. It shows the struggles of what people on the spectrum can face. I watched the second season last week and it was really good. I know that the person who is directing it isn’t autistic, but if people think in REAL WORLD TERMS someone with autism wouldn’t be allowed to direct this. They didn’t have much help from the community either, another reason why they got a lot of hate. Again think about it in real-world terms, there are hundreds if not thousands of different forms of autism ranging between low functioning to high functioning (and also including Asperger’s) so there would have just been a mash-up of different issues, it nice for them to keep it simple and also keep it generic. I know that sounds bad but how many people around the whole world deal with autism on a to day base. I would be willing to say around less than 1% because especially in places like the USA or here in the UK we are both bad with diagnosing autism and looking after people with it. If you are really ‘difficult’ you may get someone to help and most people haven’t been diagnosed with autism so they can’t count in this explanation. So long story short don’t hate something because it's showing the bad or it's being generic think first then hate if there is something to complain about. This mainly because the more people complain the less they will show things that show autism, then there goes the awareness and then everything thousands of people have tried to work for. Atypical is trying to get people to talk it's trying to show the flaws in what we have. One thing that definitely shows is that stupid person first language. I will rant about that later one. As I can see this dragging on I will do a season type review. So they may be a bit late. I have to watch them again.
