Infantile Autism vs Regressive Autism








Topsy Turvy

In the realm of the whimsically absurd
Logic takes flight like a fantastical bird
In a realm where the whimsical reigns.
Logic takes a back seat on this fantastical train
In a realm where logic takes flight
Find whimsy and wonder in the absurdity of night
In a world turned topsy-turvy. 
Where words dance and logic is quirky

 

Éphémère Joie and Time

This is a poetic reminder on the transient nature of time and inspired by Edith Piaf’s "La Vie en Rose,” and her other music. It encourages us to cherish each ephemeral moment, and be supported by joy. It explores themes of empathy, radiance, and the tenderness found in our shared human experience. Ultimately, it's an ode to seizing the present, holding tight to cherished moments, and discovering joy amidst life's ever-evolving tempo, echoing the optimism and rosy glow of "La Vie en Rose."


Éphémère Joie and Time 

(Ephemeral joy and time)


Dans la danse des jours,  a ephemeral fleet

(In the dance of days)

Les mois s'envolent,  moments so sweet.

(The months fly by)

Où sont passés les jours,  oh, so fast

(Where have the days gone)

Jamais revenir,  from the past 

(Never coming back)



Serre fort,  each moment just right

(Hold tight)

Soutenu par la joie, day and night 

(Supported by joy)

Le temps n'attend personne, c'est true

(Time waits for no one, its)

Nos vies valent la peine, cherish it anew

(Our lives have worth)



Dans l'étreinte tendre, a life of empathy
(In the tender embrace)
L'éclat d'âme, a radiant symphony
(The radiance of the soul)
L'esprit tendre chuchote, soft and clear
(The tender spirit whispers)
Chéris chaque instant, hold it near.
(Cherish each moment.)



À travers le temps, where memories beat.
(Through time)

Les mois s'envolent, leaving traces so sweet.
(The months fly by)
Serre fort, cher ami, let optimism anew
(Hold tight, dear friend)
Dans la vie en rose, find joy in you.
(In life’s rosy glow)

Altruism

 Contemplation, one line a day, in the quest for humanity.
#MentalHealth
Altruism is the humility that recognizes our interdependence and interconnectedness

Happy Thanksgiving

In Thanksgiving's embrace, 
gratitude whispers the profound truth: 
life's richness resides in acknowledging its simplest gifts.

A Dual Approach to Autism

 


I signed up today for a Twitter (X?) account for the first time because I read the Newsweek article "A Dual Approach for Autism." I'm married to an autistic man and my grandson is also autistic, and my hopes and wants for/from them are vastly different. I loved your perspective.


And here is the article https://www.newsweek.com/dual-approach-autism-opinion-1818062

What an insightful and well written article. I applaud you! As a pediatrician I too have felt frustrated with the limited information we have to provide parents and children once they receive a diagnosis of Autism. Interestingly, I have noticed that many of my patients with Autism are gifted with almost "special" abilities. For some it is art, for others music for others it is academics. I had 2 patients that went on to study aerospace engineering and amazed me with their knowledge in the office. I have always felt that as a society we should expose children with autism to a vast array of things and concepts to see what resonates with them and then nurture that, instead of forcing them to conform to "how we think children should be". It would be interesting to create a longitudinal study that follows children after a diagnosis over a lifetime to see what helped them develop their skills (parenting styles, conventional schooling and therapies, unconventional..) I feel like with the diagnosis of Autism there is so much we don't know and so much we can learn from them too. Its like untapping parts of the brain we never knew existed. I wish you luck on your advocacy efforts and agree 100%!
