This happened to me! My mom’s autistic. I got screened for it 3x and only came back with ADHD. It was explained to me that my autistic traits were learned behavior

I HAVE A FRIEND LIKE THIS! They're incredible to be around! They know to ask specific clarifying questions, they get happy when I start info dumping, and they respond with their own noises when I'm making autism noises. They help me understand when I'm missing social cues.

this is my nephew's experience! my dad, my mum, my little sister and I are all on the spectrum and since we've lived with him nearly his whole life, he's picked up on our stims and behaviour. we actually thought he had it too until he went and got evaluated and turns out, he doesn't have anything going on, he's just learned the habits from us! it's so fascinating!

My constant question to myself is am I neurodivergent or did I just grow up in a household with neurodivergent people. I’ve never heard anyone else talk about this!

my psychologist believed I might be autistic for a while, we both reached the conclusion that I'm in fact not autistic, I just have a lot of traits due to my dad being autistic and raising us to follow his "social interaction guide"

Also growing up in trauma. Trauma and autism have a lot of overlapping traits/symptoms. I think this is why my autistic husband and I get each other. Somehow my trauma and his autism just work

I don’t have autistic family members but as an ADHD girl - I almost always kind of understand where yall are coming from and it makes understanding each other really easy in my experience.

As an Autistic CODA, I think it’s similar to being a CODA (Child of Deaf Adult/s).

As a social worker, I think the idea of being “culturally autistic” deserves way more attention. People who grow up in autistic households can naturally pick up certain communication styles, routines, and ways of processing the world - even if they themselves aren’t autistic. That environment shapes how they express themselves, connect with others, and navigate emotions. It doesn’t mean they are autistic, but it does mean their experiences are valid and worth understanding. This is such an important conversation to be having.

The BEST apple cake you’ll ever make! 🍎✨ My Grandma Peggy passed down hundreds of her recipes to me, and this apple cake is one of her very best.  Made with grated Granny Smith apples, fresh orange juice, walnuts, sweetened coconut, and a buttery buttermilk glaze, it’s the perfect apple cake!  Save this recipe - and sign up to get them in your email (link in bio!)  INGREDIENTS: Cake: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1¼ tsp ground cinnamon (divided), 2 cups granulated sugar, 3 large eggs (room temp), 1¼ cups vegetable oil, 1 tsp vanilla, ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1 medium orange), 2 cups grated unpeeled Granny Smith apples (about 2 large apples), 1 cup chopped walnuts, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar (for dusting). Buttermilk Glaze: 1 cup granulated sugar, 8 tbsp salted butter, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ cup buttermilk. DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a standard Bundt pan. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. In the bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle, beat the sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla, and orange juice until combined.  With mixer on low, add dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in apples, walnuts, and coconut, then spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour 15-20 min, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool in pan for 15 min, then invert onto wire rack set over baking sheet. Puncture the top all over with a skewer to create deep holes for the glaze to soak into.  For the glaze, combine the sugar, butter, baking soda, and buttermilk in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil, about 4-5 min.  It should be foamy and begin to turn light brown. Pour the hot glaze over the warm cake.  If desired, combine the confectioners’ sugar with the remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and dust over the top.  Let cake rest for at least 1 hr before serving. #applecake #baking #bakingrecipe #dessert #thebuckheadbaker
