What are Autistic babies like?
I was a happy baby, who was content to jump in my bouncer for hours on end. I still have huge calf muscles from jumping and toe walking as a child.
Notice also how they say I “stopped walking” and now only wanted to jump if adults gave me their hands.
Even as a baby, jumping and spinning were my favorite stims.

Are YOU sensitive to smells???
David is!
Yesterday we drove by a feedlot with an overpowering stench, that made it hard to breathe.
David didn’t want to pull over and be stuck next to the smell, so he did this to stop himself from getting sick.

As an Autistic person, one of my favorite things about RV life is that our RV is a roaming sensory bubble, that we take with us everywhere we go. It gives both David and I a place to recharge and recover when out exploring the world around us, allowing us to both experience a lot more.

Some of the earliest evidence that you may see in #AutisticBabies and small children, is “not responding when our names are called” - or “appearing to be in our own little world” - because we hyperfocus on things (sometimes objects like this bottle cap) and tune out the people desperately trying to get our attention.
I have multiple examples of this, including another video where my mom can’t get me to give her the time of day, because I have a toy phone.

Here’s a fun memory:
Did you know we used to live in a bigger, but MUCH OLDER RV???
It had a lot of problems, so I’m grateful for our new home, however, I don’t have enough space to do THIS in our new RV. I used to roller skate in there!

Some RVers spend a lot of money on campsites, RV parks, and paid parking, but “free”/“low cost” is more our speed. RV life on a budget isn’t always glamorous, in fact, it often means sleeping and waking up at truck stops, Walmarts, Cracker Barrel’s, and rest stops. Sometimes, however, the rest stops aren’t that bad. This one was nice and the sun risng over the desert snow was beautiful!!! 🌄❄️⛄️🤩
