Frustrations with Neurotypicals who run Disney Blogs and guides
I've been working on a guide for autistic adults at Disney, along with alexeidarling (the primary writer) and other unknown contributors. I recently sent emails and comments to multiple Disney Blogs to ask that they post about it or simply add it as a reference link in their guides. I only asked people who had Autistics at Disney sections in their guides. I genuinely would have been happy to see it added as a comment or link at the bottom of a larger "Your autistic child at Disney" article.
As previously stated, all of these guides assumed that the reader was a neurotypical parent of an ASD/ND child. Sometimes they would have titles like "Taking a Family member with Autism Spectrum Disorder to Disneyworld" (Allears.net) and the entire article refers to that family member as a child who can't plan. Is "family member with Autism" a euphemism for "Maybe it's your grandkids or nephew or niece, but it's still obviously just a child"?
I really want this guide to become a resource that adult autistic people and those with sensory issues can actually find, and more people can contribute to.
None of these online Disney guides will post it, not even as a link on a page of links. Most don't respond at all. One told me it was good and maybe worthy of a guest post, but have not asked for more info or posted anything about it. I really want to change this, but I've written to so many guides and blogs I can no longer remember who I wrote and who I didn't.
I posted about it on Disboards (a Disney enthusiast forum) and while many people seemed to like the idea, I also got a fair few AutismMoms (tm) talking about how it wouldn't work for many autistic people, as they can't read or make their own decisions (I'm summarizing). You know what though, THEY ALREADY HAVE ALL THE GUIDES! On the other hand, guides for adult Autistics who can read and plan amount to exactly one: this one. And the online guides won't even post it as a link, like this one here.

Most of these online guides have tons of first hand experiences and advice from Moms of autistic people. Not one did I find with us being allowed to speak for ourselves! I know the Moms are trying to be allies, but you don't do that by speaking for all of us and drowning out those of us who can speak. You certainly don't do it by trying to silence me because I don't have the exact same presentation of issues as your child.
I understand that some of us are nonverbal. I understand some of us will never understand written words. My little brother is also autistic, and he is a nonverbal, nonreading non-planner. Those guides would have been great for my neurotypical parents. But that doesn't mean that I would enjoy someone using one of those guides to strip me of my autonomy and plan out my day for me - especially when I could do a much better job of it. (I quite enjoy planning, incidentally. My parents loathe it.)
I understand advocating for those who can't advocate for themselves. Those moms are trying to do that too, but it's not Highlander, there can be more than one voice for those of us without them. But I think at the end of the day that's my biggest issues with some AutismMoms. To them, autistic people are a "them", and to me they're an "us", and I think that's a pretty telling difference. There's a difference between managing an autistic person and being one.
Many autistic people have written me or told me that they are happy this resource is out there. Some have stated they had also tried, unsuccessfully, to find an autistic guide for Disney written by autistic people. Not one neurodiverse person has told me they find it offensive, unnecessary, or wrong.
So clearly this is something that can help people, we just need to help them find it. Any ideas on how to do that?
I'm loving all the stories from California Adventure, and I want to know, how was the ride? And more importantly, what song did you get to listen to during the drops?
Why tell when I can show? :D

This ride is a great vestibular stim if sudden drops and rising in the dark doesn’t scare you. We rocked to “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” by Pat Benatar!
And yes, I had echolalia on the ride. I yelled “I’m Mary Poppins, y’all!” when the doors opened to show us outside and take the picture. (That part is REALLY funny in the video, I won’t spoil why, but it’s HILARIOUS!)
I can't remember which episode it is, but have you ever gif'ed the scene where DW is complaining about how repetitive bionic bunny is? Something like, "the bad guy comes, they don't call Bubonic Bunny, the bad guy comes again, they call Bubonic Bunny". And if you haven't, can you put it on the list please?
i don’t have that’un so i’ll add it to the list :0

Kind of time sensitive- I'm doing a course right now that requires a lot of coordinated movement, and I'm pretty sure that I have some sort of motor planning issue that keeps me from syncing everything up. If a movement involves positioning more than one body part at once, I tend to get stuck. I did inform my instructor, but what else can I do to make the next two days easier and learn the moves well? ( It's self defense, so it's important I can do the moves properly and confidently.)
I know this is going to sound cliche, but probably the best thing you can do is practice as much as you can. Break all the movements down into smaller pieces that you can practice individually until you feel comfortable with them, and when you can do each piece reliably you can start putting two or three pieces together to practice the coordination in manageable chunks.
Do our followers have any other advice?

Positivity! I passed my first medication test! I won't know for sure until Monday, but I think I got 100% (I only needed 70)
Awesome!! Congrats!

Positivity Friday! I had a great first week in my program, was completely accepted and respected for my autistic perspective, and I got my accommodations and my request for identity first language honoured by everyone - instructors and classmates alike! (At some point, I'm going to have to stop being shocked when those things happen.)
Oh my goodness, that’s a great string of events.
