Autism, Life and Learning

It's now the start of December. So the shops in town are full of people. Thats why I did all my shopping well before hand. I thought I would give a life update. So I am alive and still autistic. In our household we have decorated the house with Christmas decorations and put up pur tree.  I am planning a fundraser at the moment. It should be fun. So with Christmas looming I am already looking at next year. It seems so far away but It is only less then a month away really. I have sent off my PIP form. So that will be another 6-8 weeks to wait. Yep I will have to wait another month and half to get an asscessment. Then wait the same time again to see if I qualify for it. I think I may forget about the claim before it even happens at this rate.  I thought I would do another update because I keep saying things that are wrong with the world around autistics. So I thought I would do this to say things away from all that.  Also it is completely different from the ones from last we...

So this couple weeks I haven't had any internet but I have a kinda packed couple weeks. I had done volenteered for CAMHS and Young Devon, then I started my university module- Yay 😀. Last week I helped CAMHS again and altered my training plan. I don't mean a small change I mean everything, I have changed everything from the training on land to the training on the water. It's only going to get harder for me 😱😜. Also on Monday I got my complete reasults for my last module and I PASSED!! YAY!🎉 Anyway I know that pretty much everyone that gets taught that autistics don't like change. Whlist this is kinda true it is also worng as most just need time to adjust that could be seconds to months, but everyone else need time to adjust but they can adjust on the fly as it were we can't or we can but not well...😞. It also help if we want the change so with my training I have gone from around an hour on land to around 3 hours that is a big change, but I know to be competive...

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 ...

So firstly out of the gate I'm not at Nottingham due to ill health which I am really not happy about but rules are there for a reason. My 'ill health' is partly to do with my autism so thats one part of my life it had ruined this weekend, usally I can just keep going but I had to take everything into account this time around.  As it is rare i have lots of sensory overloads in a row, meltdowns I can deal with; just go into basic program and use echo location.  Anyway enouch of that this is something I have been trying I am to to try to use something called Google Blogger. Instead of this blog, although everything will be here it won't be when I finish the OU but I am unsure if it will be after my first year or my third either way to make sure everything I have said is read and people can see things I have put it will be copied over their. It will most likely be named something simliar. I will link it when I have completed the transistion. In this case I'm an Eevee...
