    Despite what many autism professionals try to say, Parallel play is intimate AF 'Will you be with me as I am right now?' takes a lot of vulnerability and trust More people should learn from it

        Parallel play is to play "near" rather than to play "with" Although for many people, especially autistics, "near" can still be interpreted as "with". • • • Within typical development you'll find that children typically move from parallel to associative play at around 3 or 4.

        Play in summary: • Unoccupied play: Pre-play stimming • Independent play: Playing on your own • Onlooker play: Watching others play • Parallel play: Playing "near" • Associative play: Playing "with" with different goals • Cooperative play: Playing "with" with the same goal

        Just a reminder that you don't have to be autistic to relate to any of this. It's just that autistics, especially autistic children, are often penalized for enjoying/preferring parallel play. Because when we do it it's "not socially correct". #LetAutisticKidsPlay

        While we're in the topic of play, check out Donna Williams, and their book Exposure Anxiety. There's too much worth being quoted, but thankfully they left a video that summarizes the idea. https://youtu.be/bJNkYFuiv7g

        There's so much valuable information from the video, but this specifically addresses how parallel play helps to lessen sensory overwhelm.

        I love that type of companionship. Doesn't have to be okay either. My most valued relationships in college were ones where we could sit together & work while still feeling like we were spending time together.

        I don't understand why neurotypicals don't seem to grasp that going to an office with other people and doing your job while they do theirs is the same thing as parallel play.

        Because they don't see it as social Also, is it? 😂 Because I would not consider work play unless I was sincerely enjoying it

        My partner and I do parallel activities all the time. We sit and read together, she games while I write, she watches a film while I play with Lego, etc.
