This makes me cry. So sweet! ❤❤❤
I'm autistic, and I'm a muscian. Trying to make Jodi "normal" by disrupting her routines was child abuse, even if it was unintentional. Predicatble routines are like knowing where the furniture is for a blind person. Disrupting them is like re-arranging the furniture of a blind person.
and not telling them.
You know why Jodi got music? For the same reason I did: She loves it because it soothes her extremely tuned senses and it involves a LOT of repetition. Repetition is soothing to our nervous systems. We also tend to have "alexithymia" - the inability to name what we are feeling - or to even know we are feeling it. Changes can trigger really bad sensations - painfull feelings like shortness of breath or suffocation which are terrifying because we feel like we are dying.
Those "tatrums" were that poor child screaming for her life because she was being forced / dog trained to be "normal" it's like gay conversion theraphy for toddlers. It's a crime against her uniquenes and her rare, highy tuned form of humanity. Music works because it can form emotional bridges between autistic and non autistic people without using the usual language and ettique of the nuerotypical.
You might be wondering how someone who's autistic can write so clearly and forcefully about his condition and perspective. Well, note all the spelling errors. It's because my autism came freighted with an extreme IQ profile as well. I'm a polymath and an autistic savant. Music is just one of many difficult domains of knowlede and competence I've mastered. Never mastered spelling though because I'm dyslexic. I haven't suffered any less because I'm clever. Autism is autism. What varies is the intensity and types of various gifts and deficits. Sensory issues are always present. Noise, bright, flashing, harsh or high contrast lighting HURTS our eyes and disrupts of brains. Loud, harsh sounds hurt our ears and disrupt thinking as well. Certain smells, tastes or textures can seem like figernails on a chalk board to us, when everyone around us is oblivious. If this goues on for long enough, we will melt down.
...and so would you if there was ringing telphone going off endlessly at random that no one else could hear. That's what it feels like. Just the sensory part, which isn't the worst of it. It's the social problems taht really grind us down. The bulling and exclusion. The misunderstandings and failure to communicate and thus connect with the people around us. We are exactly the same when it comes to our shared humanity. It's just that the sensory world comes at us diffently, and the world of ordinary people is usually not safe for us.
So yea, Jodi had some meltdowns. What the family should have done is to figure out what was triggering them, and then eliminate those stimuli. Do the same thing in reverse while observing what calms and sooths her.
Give her as much of the calming soothing stuff as she wants. Leave her to repetitive behaviors. They are her superpower. Even that's inconvienient for you as parent. The mother here is crying for her own dreams because they didn't align with Jodi's. Suck it up mom. It's her life, not yours, and it's your responsibility to make sure it's the best it can possibly be.
For her - not for you.
Just noticed this happened 10 years ago. Thankfully autism awareness nd advocacy have come a long way since then.
I guess you gotta start somewhere....I hope Jodi's doing well today. Unfortuantely, the odds still aren't good for autistic people like her and I. But they are (slowly) getting better and better.
Mostly because of more awareness, acceptance and accomodation of and for our differences as autistic people. Not advances in dog training techniques to make us "normal".
=)
Shhhh.......
Dude you got the happy tears flowing today. Thank you.
This was amazing!
Thank you for posting this. Showcasing the best in us; surprised the original doesn't have 1mil views.
This is the reason I have hope
Spectrum people are the best people.
I am also one!
Thanks for sharing... good dog!
That hug, priceless!
Priceless young lady and talented... encourage your children, never discourage them through difficult challenges. My mom was horrible and never believed in me. Ihad an Army career and marriage that lasted 21 for the first and 28 for the second. 7 grown children and waiting on my 20th grandchildren. My mom's been gone two decades. I hope she regrets her actions. Salute Triumph!😆🇺🇸🦅
God bless Jodi ❤️❤️❤️
And Jodi & Katy have some sweet singing a Duet together company!
😢 I can’t help but think of that line from High Fidelity: “I always hated that song…Now I kinda like it”
Love you and your Robert!
Kept waiting for Triumph to pop up

If you got to sing a Duet with Katy Perry, which Song would you choose?

That Boston accent when she says perry 😂
I really felt for this girl, one of her favourite singers is Katy Perry.
Katy Perry looks so uncomfortable being hugged.
But she really did sing well with Jodi, letting her shine rather than doing what some other singers do and overtake the whole performance. I enjoyed the performance.
