Aspies For Freedom

I naturally as a parent used alot of the general techniques - without having read about them with all my kids.  I sat back and watched, took notes (I did since they were born) how long they were fed, 7 minutes 1:11 AM, how long napped, etc., the results on their behavior based on being awakened due to outside forces, (baby sisiter has ballet) the results of them having sugar, in non-avoided food coloring, or the benieficial results of being a the park, or picnic lunches, on  their health and attitudes.  (I wasn't on the look out for anything -just since I was taking notes- (in a time/date/day calender) like a scientist -I could then look back and see patterns.  Anyway, as it turns out being naturally like this (I know I sound wierd for having done this but after I became a mother, I noticed that if I didn't keep track I would lose track, and I ended up having 3 kids rather close together, and making a schedule for myself - based on my kids needs - not on mine - really made things very manageable). (&L:15 AM take a shower Being naturally a (I don't know what, scientist-type?), I was able to APPLY what I'd learned to impact Behavior after Analysis.  But, I based it on Them, not me.(lucky me, our plan was for me to be a stay at home mom)  Like to this day, they waske up with the sun and naturally go to sleep when it is dark... and  they eat at 7AM, 12 noon and 4:30 Pm in the winter and earlier in the summer, depending on when the sun rises and sets.... natural biorythms.   Anyway, my husband is very thankful that I am like this, as he thinks "ds" might be up a creek with a non-routine, inconsistent sort of mom.

Obviously, non empathetic people without an attachmet or love for a child can apply Negative or Adverse, or Punishing techniques and I would vehemently diasgaree with that.  I think techniques should be used (any parenting or even so called scientific technique) to complement a child's natural path and personality and needs>  I read a post recently on a really awful ABA.

Sorry still haven't looked up Together for Autism, but really curious now.

I don't make the kids wake up at 7AM, they in fact wake up EARLIER than that on their own - they wake up with the sun - in the winter /school is also in session, they sometimes wake up at the latest 7AM - 7AM is breakfast time - they eat dinner between 4:30 and 5:30 so they are hungry - and the sun is up.
I don't make them do anything - I facilitate for them so that they can follow their natural tendencies...and also be well rested and fed. (that is what mom's do)

Hello,

I am new here, but have been trying to combat the oppression of our nation for months now. In order to effectively combat this, i require data on the Together for Autism people. Are they for our benefit, or are they for our demise and oppression. I need to know this as soon as possible, i will try to find out on my end here, but any data you have would be greatly thanked for. Please Respond ASAP!

I am sorry, were you talking to me. If you were, please kindly refresh my memory about this other thread you speak of.
