April IS Autism Awareness Month

[rumblytumbly]

Kari, my son has Aspergers syndrome disorder which is in the Autism spectrum. Can you do this one with Goofy, and use the word Aspergers in lieu of Autism. I'm so glad this thread is here to make people aware of how Autism/Aspergers has grown and affected so many children. As always, a sincere thanks for all you do!

Desiree,

Here it is. I originally did the wrong one for you so I thought I would post it here too in case anyone else could use it.

Kari Thanks for the Aspergers Designs...I know you did not make them for me but it made me fill up. My 5 yr old DS has just been DX. HE does take a lot of patience. Lots of times people just think he is being a brat.This REALLY upsets me

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

When you have time one day could you make one that says

I'M AUTISTIC, try not to judge me. With mickey puzzle ears and FIGMENT?
one with goofy one with stitch?

I LOVE THESE!!!!!! I can't begin to tell you how limited autistic merchandise is, how limited Aspies merchandise is. Most of the stuff that is available out there is from cafe press but there is NO SUCH THING as supportive disney merchandise mentioning autism or aspies. This stuff is really great. If disney themselves came up with a line of shirts I'm sure it would make lots of money. Sure would be nice if they would, and then maybe put the proceeds to Autism Spectrum Research. THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN. You really are good at this! Once I learn how to share my pics and images I'm gonna post some fun disney stuff to share with you all too. Just got to learn how, and THAT, might take a while.... Is there anyone else on the forums who IS AUTISTIC, am I the only one. I see families with loved ones, or relatives with loved ones, but am I the only autistic here?

Hello. Thank you for being so welcoming and accepting. I get very very very very very very very nervous and anxious on this "forum" things, so I don't belong to any one but this one. I tend to not know what to say or if I'm saying ANYTHING that makes any sense at all, to anyone, I tend to not know if what I say is inappropriate or rude, or insulting or hurtful. So I tend to not say ANYTHING AT ALL, because all these building fears bottle up words to express my thoughts and or feelings, so thank you. I'll be walking in the walk for autism walk this month. My team name is paonessacanzoneri and I hope to be wearing a disney shirt to the walk. That's why I asked your friend to make me some that say, I'm autistic try not to judge me. I hate judgers. People who don't understand or get frustrated with me easily because my brain doesn't work they way theirs does or like theirs does, bothers me and sends me into long time silence.

Thank you for saying "hello" to me and welcoming me to this website.


P.S. NO ONE is "too old" to wear ANYTHING disney related in my opinion.

Of course I will work on the "Try not to judge me" design for you. It will probably be tomorrow afternoon or the next day. I will try to find a good Figment to use. Figment is kind of hard to find! Do you want me to put the team name or the name of your walk on the shirt too?

Welcome to the board and I am happy you are here! PS. I'm totally with you on never being too old to wear anything Disney! I'm 43 and I live and breathe Disney.

 

[tinkerbell/pixie]

Thank you Kari and Figmentgoofy. I always wear Tink shirts, when I can because she is my favorite. Every year my son has used Mickey on his banner and team shirt.I have to learn how to post pictures but I will describe his last year shirt. We used the Sorrcer Mickey holding the Crystal ball. Inside the ball I put a picture of our team members from the year before. The shirts we wore said "Matthew's Dream Team" I hope that gives you some ideas.

I will tell you the samething I tell my son. Don't worry about your brain working different. It is what makes you unique and special. It's a gift to all of us. So post away. We enjoy hearing from you.

Oh, "Rumbly" Thank you kindly! REALLY, SINCERELY, when ever you get to it is just fine with me, really. Oh My hubby is so happy to hear your response to this as well, he LOVES LOVEY LOVES Figgy Figment!

Do you want me to put the team name or the name of your walk on the shirt too?

Oh, thank you for the offer and your creative thinking but no. I want to proudly wear it as often as I can, not just on the walk. Having a diagnosis does wonders for someone who has been called WEIRD, CRAZY, STRANGE, STUPID, RETARDED, SLOW, and my favorite, she's just not TRYING hard enough" She can "over come this thing if she is more motivated too". With my diagnosis and the world FINALLY being introduced to the words Aspies and Autism, I plan on wearing this shirt, EVERY TIME I know I'm going somewhere that I am exposed to being judged, and having anxiety and or crippling fear. So thank you but you don't have to write our team name or the name of the walk, I rather it just tell people I'm autistic and that judging people, can be painful, but with autistics NO MATTER WHAT, judging IS PAINFUL EXTREMELY PAINFUL and WILL leave scars.

I live and breathe Disney. Hey.... ME TOO!

THANK YOU! I LIKE YOU TINKERBELL PIXIE, YOU'RE NICE, AND FROM NEW YORK. I was born there, raised in the city before my parents moved me out here. My grandma lives in Mamaroneck. ALL of my family lived or lives in new york still, somewhere, some of my family lived their their whole lives before passing away. But I have ALWAYS been told I'm a "new yorker". Because they would hear some gruffness or firm, or a kind of bluntness in me. TRUE some of it is because of my back east roots, HOWEVER some of it if not all as I get older, is the autism. But since there was nothing such as autism or aspies all through my growing up, I would play up that it was/is because I'm from back east that makes me so "forward"... truthfully, from what I know of my diagnosis, my so called "forward" behavior, is because I'm autistic hee hee, they didn't know and I didn't tell em... giggle giggle
course on the flip side autism "didn't exist" for my brain it feels like which came first the chicken or the egg...

 

[tinkerbell/pixie]

Figmentgoofy it is encouraging to talk to you.Most of my family is in the south. We live here in New York because my Ds is in one of the top schools for autism. I look at his progress and say we would stay here forever if he can continue to bloom like he is.
I put my ds in a social skills class because of his choice of words. The boy always tells the truth and I am sorry to say it is not the best thing. Dh says all New Yorkers are forward so I should leave him alone.I guess that New York edge will put you guys at the head of the class.

hi figment goofy,
have you tried the disabilities thread? there are lots of people over there with asd in the family.
my ds 8 has a recent diagnosis and we are very proud of him.
like tinker/pixies son he is obsessed by soccer, and we are v proud of him.
kari, your designs just keep getting better...
how about a tink one with "we tink you should be patient, we have a special child" could then be used for any SEN child?
thanks
tracy

 

[figmentgoofy]

Yea. It's weird like that. The 2 (autism) and being from (back east) get very well tangled together, like necklace chains. Sometimes one can't tell if "that kind" of behavior is because one is from back east or because of "something else" many people to this day can't wrap their brains around "something called autism" or how I hear it from many who know nothing "that autistic thing" the idea that there is a diagnosis for some behaviors is very easily dismissed or denied. That it doesn't exist. Or that someone is "making things up so they can get away with it." Its amazing how closed minded people can be sometimes. I simply said I was from Back East and what ever inappropriate words came out of my mouth, sometimes I got lucky and the receiver to what I was saying thought I was funny, and sometimes, NOPE. What ever I said that was inappropriate or rude or hurtful or whatever, and my brain doesn't track those kinds of things, if and when what I said wasn't received well, I was BANISHED.
MANY people took what I said in the wrong context, HOWEVER, I don't speak, what we call "nero-typical" and a receiver doesn't speak "autistic". The way I HEAR the world is though I MUST learn to speak 3 languages which is hard to do. But EVERY TIME I open my mouth what I say has to be translated. If its as though I live in Italy, but only speak German and Russian. It is THAT FAR apart and THAT different of a language.

ARE YOU KIDDING?! I LOVE THEM, ABSOLUTELY LOVE EM!
I'M CHANGING MY WARDROBE. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THEY ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL. You have brought a tear of joy to an autistics eye! THANK YOU!
You lil rumbly tumbly you. You don't know how much this means. I so, really appreciate you taking the time to have done this. THANK YOU!

 

[figmentgoofy]

On page 2, there is one with Stitch that represents DAUGHTER.

 

[figmentgoofy]

You know what, and this is a totally autistic thing. I haven't tried the disabilities thread. I have NEVER POSTED, ever before. This is my first board posting web site let alone page.
I only came here because my hubby saw RUMBLYTUMBLY's pictures. It was just at the time that I was complaining that there was no such thing as autism awareness DISNEY shirts out there in the market world. Thank you for the suggestion to that thread, but I will most likely not go. I am too afraid. I am comfy here, and will probably only be on this thread for a while, MY VERSION OF A WHILE, which means MONTHS, if not the rest of this year. Thank you but no. I won't go. I don't know what goes on in there I don't know what they talk about I don't want to come off as rude or a "know it all". Nope I am steering VERY CLEAR of that thread. I like it here. Rumbly and TinkPix have made me feel safe and welcome here, so this is where I'll be staying.
