Why NAS? Why?

This week has been an odd week. I have done the Atypical review, which I’m hoping to post every Wednesday or Thursday. From then I will post on here every Sunday. I have done some participation for helping CAMHS, I have done some teaching; which was brilliant. It was nice to teach my wonderful sport that is C1. I also met up with a wonderful friend. I have also figured out with some deduction that I may have passed my End of Module Assessment that I have  passed it, as I got ask for feedback about my module at 4:30 in the morning- I wasn’t impressed.  I will hopefully start typing up the reviews next week. Today I went back into my old C1 it was fun, to be back in it. My old C1 is an older boat, its a Nelo Vanquish mk1, so it was made somewhere in the 90s and most C or K boats usually last 10-12 year, some usually 5 years. So my canoe is a little old. I also found out that my old canoe hurts... well when trying to fit my foot board back on. I kinda cut my finger from my nail down- one of the reasons why I wear gloves.

So... has anyone seen the new autism logo for the Nation Autistic Society. If not here it is... 


There is two things in there one is rainbow for the spectrum the other is that is meant to look like an A for autism. Firstly how does it look like an A? Secondly, how does it look like an A? I don’t understand why it was changed. I didn’t mind the last one. This one I know it has been designed by autistics and their family but it was mainly influenced by an neurotypical which I think it should be dedicated to people on the spectrum not the person who made the label. Also from the 6th October to the 13th its Autism Hour. This is where certain shops for an hour dim the lights lower the music and the staff help or learn about autism. I think this is brilliant, but I keep asking this question. Why not make it autistic friendly the whole time?  Or teach everyone that comes into the store about autism? It is nice to know that store want to be autistic friendly, its just a shame that the shops don’t want to be autism friendly all the time.  I think there is one shop that is, Morrison’s, I think they do it in most or all stores on Saturday between 9-10am. I know it doesn’t sound like much but this is to some people as they don’t have to hide in their houses until October, they can be ‘normal’ for a whole hour, believe me that’s hard to come by.

I know I haven't posted anything for this week, not even atypical 😥 . This is because are internet has gone down, I'm using somewhere elses internet to post this. It might be down for a while. The next post hopefully should be the last two episodes of atypical of season one. I did have other things planned so I am going to write them up and they may be either slightly earlier or later then they should be. Depending where I can find internet. As I am training I might be able to use where I am depending if my tablet can connect here. Unfortunately it's one of those things. I have so much to say about what has happened ,but I will leave it untill I know I can speak fully. So this Gecko is going to hibernate for a little while.  But please keep an eye out for some more post and pages. In the mean time here is a quiz for anyone reading. What feelings can you list before you come back to the the same one? Please comment below I would like to see what you people can...

Autism awareness can't be hidden, so... bye.

I still have some things in the works. So, don’t worry too much. There is a reason for this early post. I am moving over to my own site. So, I will NOT be using Blogger anymore. This is for a few reasons, but I will come back to those later. So instead of coming off and not blog I have created my own blog page/website. So that everyone can see my blog. Hopefully, later on, it may also have a social media influence as well. Like Eevee, I am evolving the way I am at the moment I think I may turn into Flareon. Anyway, let's talk about why I am moving and have had to do all of this. 1)     I am moving because Blogger isn’t showing my blog on the internet. Right this one is an odd one. I created this blog, so everyone could see and well... this hasn’t worked. Blogger hasn’t shown my blog since day 1 I thought it was some little issues, so I have tried fixing it, but after I have trying to sort out the robot, these are the things that help your blog/site be found, I have no l...

Goodbye Familiarity

Right first thing first I know I didn't post anything last week. I had a bit of a down week, I finished  my trainieeship and I have my End of Module Assessment coming up next week. So a lot is happening which I can't change and that not always super helpful, but I'm dealing with the rapid shock. I use the reward idea, so for everything you've done well you get rewarded for it, so from there you will try your hardest to get better so the bigger the reward. So because I had finished my tranieeship and completed a university module I thought I would reward myself. If I haven't said already I am very much a nerd and I like comics, both DC and Marvel, so much that I got myself a statue of X-23. She is a favourite of mine from the X-men comics and just as a general character. If you don' who she is she is basically a female version of Wolverine, she appeared in Logan the movie which I liked, although I thought she would of been older. I still liked this version of h...
