I’m an autistic and I actually can’t use pacifier to suck on because can and will chew holes in them. Lawnmower rubber plug boot for me, Either that or a lawnmower camgear lol. Now that plastic is tough enough and is rather chewable
I remember getting in trouble for coloring at 16. 🤷♀️

Hi Sarah I'm so proud of you, since reading your book my daughter feels she is no longer alone, your book has helped her understand her Autism diagnosis and make a bit of sense from her diagnosis. I am now paying for her to have a private paediatric assessment/appointment to help her too as drs etc don't listen
@@emmelesha hey thank you so much for watching and your very kind message. I’ll send this message on to her. If you haven’t already please do subscribe to this channel, share this video on social media and give this video a like. 👍 ❤️
Hey that's me😂
Thank you for sharing your story! ❤
What's an a romantic
aromantic describes the experience of having little or no romantic desire or feelings in a relationship that can form apart of someones sexuality.
Lmmfao. Dude you made me spit on myself and cough. Im chillin by myself and i hear at the end of the video "I.. have.. to... Cope..." 🤣 😂
Hes a scholar in warping kids minds & blaming everyone else and more then anything hes a pro in playing the victim card. The more illness you have the more of an accomplished scholar he is.
You feel like electric ⚡💡 shock because of the glue holding in your eye ball.
She'll find a good guy. 😂 Sounds like a warning ⚠️ label 🏷️ disguised 🥸 as a good product. 😂
In other words they have no discipline & disregard authority. Sound like an authority issue. Not a Palm Pilot or BlackBerry. "PDA"... Oh Please. I have BBSD... Bad 🐂 💩 disease
good luck darling you look a nice girl
When I was diagnosed with autism at 26, I hated myself. I thought I was less than. I'm still trying to realize I'm not broken. It's tough.
It sure is. I keep try to keep things positive in what I share about autism but I do like to get real and oh my it's a road to find how to love to yourself and accept being autistic. You for sure have the hard times. ❤️
When my wife learned that Lucky Light is also Autistic, she managed to empathize with Lucky Light and find her extremely brave for sharing her sucking a pacifier stim.
I do agree she is brave and is an interview that gave me a sense of confidence in myself. She is inspirational and such a kind person and I'm glad that this video has helped with you and your wife. I do have a collection of pacifiers of my own too and want to make this a safe space of all non-harmful safe stims and helping people unmask. ❤️

The booger ring is the cause of it all..your 15 are up..
No one cares love. Find a friend and have this conversation with her over a coffee.
"Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” John 14:21. The Word is the Truth, and must be held above the things of this world.
When I found Lucky Light on TikTok, I immediately created an account, because I wanted to shower her with praise for being so brave and for making raves more Autism friendly.
