2019, Sarah Cobbe, Simple Autism Strategies for Home and School: Practical Tips, Resources and Poetry, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, →ISBN, page 49:

Autistic females are trying to adhere to social expectations placed upon them, and masking and blending to fit those expectations, […] How do you unmask when you have spent a [long time masking].

mask

mask (third-person singular simple present masks, present participle masking, simple past and past participle masked)

masks (present singular third-person)
masking (participle present)
masked (participle past)
masked (past)

Borrowed from Middle French masque (“a covering to hide or protect the face”), from Italian maschera (“mask, disguise”), from (a byform of, see it for more) Medieval Latin masca, mascha, a borrowing of Proto-West Germanic *maskā from which English mesh is regularly inherited.
Replaced Old English grīma (“mask”), whence grime, and displaced non-native Middle English viser (“visor, mask”) borrowed from Old French viser, visier.
Compare also Hebrew מַסֵּכָה (masseiḥa).

bor

Masking is exhausting and some autistics require copious amounts of time afterwards to recover from hiding who they are and pretending to be someone they aren't. Even when autistics mask they don't always pass fully as an NT person.

2018, Sally Cat, PDA by PDAers: From Anxiety to Avoidance and Masking to Meltdowns, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, →ISBN, page 86:

So, masking seems to be a very poor explanation for the difference in gender diagnosis of autism. In particular, masking requires theory of mind. How can autistic people successfully mask if they struggle with this ability?

2021, Yenn Purkis, Wenn B. Lawson, The Autistic Trans Guide to Life, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, →ISBN, page 132:

(intransitive) To conceal or disguise one's autism.


meltdown

en-noun

meltdown (countable and uncountable, plural meltdowns)

→ Japanese: メルトダウン (merutodaun)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-meltdown.wav

Now if I am really anxious, I can take a moment to think about what is making me anxious and what to do about it; before I would just spiral into a meltdown really quickly, with no understanding of why.

2016, Laura, quoted in Wenn Lawson & Kirsty Dempster-Rivett, The Guide to Good Mental Health on the Autism Spectrum, page 26

However, if the accumulation of stress chemicals, stimulation and/or demands are occurring too fast or are too intense to block out, then a meltdown is probable.

2019, Bill Nason, The Autism Discussion Page on Stress, Anxiety, Shutdowns and Meltdowns: Proactive Strategies for Minimizing Sensory, Social and Emotional Overload, page 171:

If you're experiencing challenges that are extremely stressful and may lead you to being overwhelmed, or set off a meltdown in the workplace, this may be very concerning to your work colleagues.

2022, Barb Cook, Yenn Purkiss, The Autism and Neurodiversity Self Advocacy Handbook: Developing the Skills to Determine Your Own Future, page 33:

(psychology) An autistic response to stress or sensory overload, in which the person is overwhelmed by intense, seemingly disproportionate emotions, behaving erratically and becoming unable to mask.


echolalia

echolalia (countable and uncountable, plural echolalias)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-echolalia.wav

/ˌɛkə(ʊ)ˈleɪlɪə/

From echo + -lalia; Latin ēchō from Ancient Greek ἠχώ (ēkhṓ, “reflected sound, echo”), and -lalia from Ancient Greek λαλιά (laliá, “talk, chat”).

der

Their echolalic responses may be much more extensive than the single words or short phrases that are characteristic of normal echolalia. Thus, a pseudoverbal autistic child may respond to "Do you want a cookie, Jimmy?" with a replication of the very same words.

1984, Jon Eisenson, Aphasia and related disorders in children, page 30:

(clinical psychology, autism) The involuntary repetitive echoing of words or phrases spoken by another person; either immediate or delayed.


aspie

Occasionally, my Aspie traits are recognised by people who don't know that I have the condition.

2005, Chris Mitchell, Glass Half-Empty, Glass Half-Full, SAGE, →ISBN, page 89:

For example, I'm a 33 year-old Aspie and Aspergers wasn't even known about when I was at school. They're getting better at spotting Aspie kids now, but adults who are doing really well and achieving lots aren't anywhere in the statistics because no-one has spotted them.

2012, Sophie Walker, Grace Under Pressure, Hachette UK, →ISBN:

(informal, endearing, autism, somewhat dated) An Aspergerian: a person with Asperger’s syndrome.


autism

en-noun

autism (usually uncountable, plural autisms)

From German Autismus, coined by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler, first usage dated to 1907 attributed by Carl Jung as an alternative of his for "auto-erotism", although Bleuler himself differentiates the terms in his book Dementia Praecox, first published 1911. From Ancient Greek αὐτός (autós, “self”) + -ισμός (-ismós, “-ism”).

Mostly, the microbiome is beneficial. It helps with digestion and enables people to extract a lot more calories from their food than would otherwise be possible. Research over the past few years, however, has implicated it in diseases from atherosclerosis to asthma to autism.

developmental disorder
developmental disorder

(dated, uncountable, neurology) An autism-related developmental disorder characterised by sustained impairment in social interaction and nonverbal communication and by repetitive behaviour as well as restricted interests and routines.


autistic

From autism + -istic or -tic. First attested in 1913. The modern clinical sense is first used in 1943 by Leo Kanner.

If our definition of empathy were to require we take the human cognitive norm (overwhelmingly influenced by neurotypical cognition) as the absolute standard by which to measure empathy, then indeed we would have to conclude autistics do not instinctively possess a good sense of empathy.

After reading this book, medical professionals should be able to develop an understanding of some of the challenges that autistics are experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

neurodiversity

en-noun

neurodiversity (usually uncountable, plural neurodiversities)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-neurodiversity.wav

From neuro- (prefix denoting the nervous system) + diversity, coined by the Australian sociologist Judy Singer (born 1951) in her 1998 Bachelor of Arts dissertation, and popularized by Harvey Blume in a September 1998 article in The Atlantic: see the quotations.

coinage

For me, the significance of the "Autistic Spectrum" lies in its call for and anticipation of a "Politics of Neurodiversity". […] The rise of Neurodiversity takes postmodern fragmentation one step further.

1998, Judy Singer, “What is the Autistic Spectrum?”, in Odd People In: The Birth of a Community amongst People on the ‘Autistic Spectrum’: A Personal Exploration Based on Neurological Diversity (unpublished B.A. (Social Science) dissertation), Sydney, N.S.W.: Faculty of Humanities and Social Science, University of Technology Sydney, archived from the original on 2023-03-25, pages 13–14:

Neurodiversity may be every bit as crucial for the human race as biodiversity is for life in general. Who can say what form of wiring will prove best at any given moment? Cybernetics and computer culture, for example, may favor a somewhat autistic cast of mind.

1998 September, Harvey Blume, “Neurodiversity: On the Neurological Underpinnings of Geekdom”, in William Whitworth, editor, The Atlantic, Washington, D.C.: The Atlantic Monthly Group, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-02-05:

The Neurodiversity movement is progressing towards an acceptance in mainstream business. Neurodiversity inclusion is increasingly likely to be present in EDI [equality, diversity, and inclusion] policies alongside gender, race and LGBTQIA+ in many leading industries (though I note that disability more broadly is lagging behind).

From neuro- (prefix denoting the nervous system) + diverse, probably modelled on neurodiversity which was coined by the Australian sociologist Judy Singer (born 1951) in her 1998 Bachelor of Arts dissertation. The latter word was popularized by Harvey Blume in a September 1998 article in The Atlantic.

But while programmes at companies including Microsoft and accounting firm EY are small and focused around supporting neurodiverse workers in the office, Ultranauts has redesigned its entire business around neurodiverse employees, changing hiring efforts to actively recruit and accommodate individuals on the autism spectrum.

It was not until 1943 that Dr. Leo Kanner, an American pschiatrist, first diagnosed the syndrome in 11 children. . . . Kanner and others once postulated that these children were the products of "refrigerator mothers," women who are overly cold and intellectual.

I even e-mailed Hopkins to try to get her to back me up, but she wrote back, If Mom decides she wants to kick him out at any point, she will and he’ll be fine. He’s a little spectrumy, but perfectly competent. But so long as she’s happy having him at home, let them have each other. Without any support from the actual neurologist in the family, I gave up.

sperglord

This would be amusing were it not for the fact that, y'know, she was with me yesterday, so your attempt at humor fails on all levels. Like most sperglord humor does save to other sperglords.

2010 March 3, smr [username], “Re: new networking business”, in chi.general (Usenet):

Ime, these specimens are the sort broad-spectrum autists one avoids.The sperglords (sorry, Phil) that you didn't want to play before TCS.

2013 August 19, Playa [username], “Re: [40k] A Codex CSM Supplement”, in rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (Usenet):

Are you implying that ALL grammar correcting sperglords are passive aggressive douchebags?

2014, anonymous internet poster, quoted in Sophia Bayer, "#GrammaNazi: The Interplay of Politeness and Language Ideologies in Internet Forums", thesis submitted to the University of Vienna, page 61

2000, Karyn Seroussi, Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder: A Mother's Story of Research and Recovery, Simon & Schuster, →ISBN, page 130:

Then I notice that there is much discussion on the video about not letting the child "stim," have his "stimmy" toy, or have a certain item because he "stims" too much.

2003, Bryna Siegel, Helping Children with Autism Learn: Treatment Approaches for Parents and Professionals: Treatment Approaches for Parents and Professionals, Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 59:

Stimming is another component of my Aspieness.

2006, Jeff, "The Salesman", in Employment for Individuals with Asperger Syndrome or Non-verbal Learning Disability: Stories and Strategies, Jessica Kingsley Publishers (2004), page 120

However, if you can fully accept your “Aspieness” and embrace both your gifts as well as your social limitations, you can then strive for excellence using your strengths rather than covering up your weaknesses.

hug machine

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-hug machine.wav

Synonym of hugbox (“therapeutic device applying pressure”)


hugbox

She [Temple Grandin] couldn't stand to be touched but was starved for affection and the safety of being contained. This need led to her clever device, the “hug box” which compressed her sides like the cattle chute it was modeled after.

2011, Recovering the Self: A Journal of Hope and Healing, Volume 3, Number 4, October 2011, unnumbered page

A short 10-15 minute time to yourself to think, meditate, or, as Temple Grandin did with the “hug box,” find a type of sensory feedback that calms your body and mind.

2013, Ashley Stanford, Troubleshooting Relationships on the Autism Spectrum: A User's Guide to Resolving Relationship Problems, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, →ISBN, page 233:

Furthermore, as an autistic individual she [Temple Grandin] was better able to understand the struggles and created the “hug box” which calms autistic children.

A therapeutic device designed to apply pressure to the body of a hypersensitive person (usually someone on the autism spectrum) in order to calm them by providing grounding sensory stimulation.

2012 May 9, prawnster [username], “Re: Evolution: assumes facts not in evidence”, in talk.origins (Usenet):

The obliviousness of your reply is staggering, or would be, if you weren't such an obvious spergy sociopath to begin with.
