Bio

My name is Creative Kombucha and I recently received my bachelors degree in psychology and I am interested in two branches that related to psychology.  One one hand, I am very interested in talk therapy with the autism community while  on the other, I am interested in developmental psychology, autism research and teaching.    What's the main reason? Not only have I been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder but also hold an official diagnosis with ADHD.   

However, I also offer sessions on

1. Breakups

2. Bullying

3. Disabilities

4. Family stress

5. Forgiveness

6. Getting unstuck

7. Grief

8. Managing emotions

9. Parenting

10. Self-esteem

11. Social Anxiety

I am available 

Most  Sunday afternoons: EST

Monday and Wednesday mornings EST

Tues and Thursday afternoons EST

Social skills in other cultures

...See more In a typical developing brain of a child, studies have proven that the orbital pre-frontal cortex is responsible for learning and developing social skills.  On the contrary, studies have suggested that damage to the pre-frontal cortex plays a role in the last of social skills in autistic individuals.    Whereas typically developing children are able to mature and pick on up social skills, studies suggest that autistic children required to learn social skills.    When it comes to teaching social skills to autistic individuals, these social skills are not universal.  What one social cue may mean in one culture may mean something else in another culture.  According to Dr. Temple Grandin, pointing to a rest room may is okay in the united states.  Whereas, if you visit China, you are required to use your whole hand.   Additionally, learning social skill can also come with language barriers as well.    While one culture might thing that a certain word is phrase is ok, another might think that the word or phrase is offensive.   Sometimes, it’s not always to easy to help an individual understand what is appropriate and what isn’t. However, you don’t have to necessarily deal with barriers from another ethnic group from yourself.  Rather, I have found that different cultures can be from different classes. -For instance, I attended the same black-tie event a few years in a row and happened to remember a dress that the executive director was wearing.  Then when I went another year, I mentioned it to her in front of her friends.  At that point, she called me out and said my comments were not appropriate and grabbed the behavior specialist.  They both explained to me that an unwritten rule is not to mention when a gown is borrowed. 1.Whether you were autistic or not, what similar scenarios have you run into? 2. Have you ever been to other cultures where the social skills and cues were different than your own? 
Being yourself

...See more Society often tells us that we can be anything that we want but we can never truly be ourselves.   Rather, we are expected to mold ourselves to be someone or something that we are not.  If we don’t fit that mold then people tend to judge us to the point that we can lose focus of who we are.   When a child first develops into an adolescent, they tend to enter a scene that is more social.   Additionally, they are usually met with a series of unwritten social rules that were not previously present.   By way of illustration, adolescents are expected to drop all child interests such as watching Disney movies or even talking about them.    Rather, they are expected to watch the news and talk about current events or sports with their peers.  Yet, if someone still does or talks about those things, they are considered as deviant individuals by their peers and friends who they played with while they were still children.   Meanwhile, their friends will often feel pressured by “The cool kids” to join them in disregarding these individuals as misfits.  Therefore, these “Misfits” eventually feel pressured to start acting and dressing like a teenager too.  Meanwhile, they begin hiding their true identity.   1.      Tell me about a time where you felt like you could not be yourself and how did react? 2.      When did you finally realize that it was ok to be yourself?   -For me: 1.When I got into high school, I stopped watching Disney films and started getting into the whole teen idol thing. I also tried to act like a teenager during that time, but I had no social skills. 2. I started attending conventions and discovered that lots of teens and adults who still enjoy dressing up Disney characters.
