As a K9 Life Coach, our company quit using "Attention Seeking" and use Connection SEEKING". Because of the reasons you mentioned. This is such an informative video.
This is 100% affirming of how I have been working with my own kids for several years now. I also have interoceptive challenges myself and I wish there was this understanding when I was a child. I was also trained in the older mindset 20 years ago when I worked with autistic kids and moved away from it several years ago. I just want to verify that this mindset is a game-changer and extremely helpful. I am glad to see that it is spreading. I really like how Kelly organized this talk and I'm sharing it everywhere! This mindset is not accepted much in my area yet so I have to do A LOT of advocating for my kids.
I'm autistic myself and have studied Autism for over 20 years, I've listened to autistic self-advocates, parents of autistic children, professionals, and my own life experiences. I've studied the neurological differences in autistic brains and how they influence behaviour and emotions. I successfully teach parents how to help their children without taking the risk of ABA as help, it seems so illogical to treat a neurological condition as a behavioural condition, so I teach parents what scientists have discovered. According to what scientists have discovered the keystone to helping autistic people is to integrate their interest into what they're trying to learn. MRI Studies have shown a relationship between nonautistic people socializing, and autistic people engaged with their interest. My research brought me to my own theories about Autism, in 2004 I came to the same theory Dr. Damian Milton proposed through my experiences with other autistic people, the double empathy problem. My current theory is that Autism is possibly a condition of authenticity. When autistic people mask we find stress and anxiety levels rise, but when they are their authentic selves they are far more calm and settled. A study by Dr. Catherine Crompton and Dr. Damian Milton on the double empathy problem, the results suggests autistic people are less reliant on social expectations that they are unconditionally accepting of other people, but most of the nonautistic subjects in the investigation were more dependent on social expectations whether they are accepting of others. All psychological investigations show autistic people have a stronger sense of being authentic. Autôs = Self Autôs + ism = Self + ism Selfism, being their true selves.

I'm neurotypical (as far as I know) and I see the same thing as you. 😊😊😊
THANK YOU
Well said Daniel and I love the last paragraph "Selfism, being their true self".
I really need lots of information about the correlation of emotional availability and autism in adult relationships...can anyone signpost me?
