The storyline was developed after extensive focus groups and interviews with people on the autism spectrum as well as with input from the National Autistic Society, the Autism Research Trust and the University of Cambridge Autism Research Centre. Throughout the film, viewers hear Layla’s thoughts, voiced by the autistic teenager Honey Jones.
The Party is based on a concept by the author Lucy Hawking and is written by Sumita Majumdar, who drew on her own experiences as a person with autism in similar social situations. The under-diagnosis of girls and women also reflects the fact that many will develop strategies to mask their autism in order to manage day-to-day interactions. This is partly because the diagnostic conventions are biased towards males, meaning they are insensitive to more female-typical autism presentations. Compared with autistic males, females on the autism spectrum are more likely to go unrecognised and unsupported, often with severe consequences for their wellbeing and mental health. The drama provides viewers with a powerful first-person perspective on the challenges that social situations may present to someone on the autism spectrum.Īutism affects more than one in 100 people in the UK. You will hear her thoughts about what she is experiencing and how it is affecting her, and share the sensory overload that leads to a meltdown (an intense response to an overwhelming situation). I may not survive all 4 of them being teens haha.The Party allows you to enter the world of an autistic teenager, Layla, who is at a surprise birthday celebration. Everyone I know that has teenagers, especially teen girls, tells me that it's totally normal and it gets better once the teen years are past.but I have 3 more girls behind her. This is my first teenager and honestly some days I feel like a mom failure.
TEEN AUTISM MELTDOWN YOUUTBE HOW TO
I feel like sometimes with situations like this and the attitude I get from her, I have no idea how to respond. She acted like how dare anyone touch her ice cream? I was shocked. I made sure to stay very calm and explained my reasoning. But until then, if her sister or anyone else wants a little, they are welcome to it. Once she has a job (which she is currently looking for, her decision) she can buy ice cream and it will be hers, and I will make sure that nobody else in the house eats it. UMMM what? I told her (very calmly may I add) that I paid for it, so anyone is able to eat it.
There wasn't much gone from the tub but she goes off on how it's HER favorite ice cream and she wants it to be only hers when I buy it. Her sister had a SMALL bowl, and when I say small I mean pretty small. Once that tub was finished, a week or so later I bought it again because I knew she likes it. She asked me to buy her a specific ice cream so I did. Lately it seems the entitlement i've seen with my 14 year old daughter is ridiculous. So i'm sure i've posted about this before but MAN teenagers are tough.
