Autism, Life and Learning

I swear I have just had a bad week. As you can tell by the title I haven't really had a good week. I lost track of reality for the whole of this week, I didn't even realise it was Sunday in till around 2:30.  There should have been a blog on Tuesday, so it shows how far out I am. On Tuesday I got to help teach some medical students, mainly about mental health but also about autism. Hopefully, I made a bit of an impact. Wednesday I don't even know what has happened had a catastrophic meltdown and completely forgot what I did that day, same with Thursday. I don't which day it happened but I lost two days.  Friday, me and my parents went into town. I nearly had a complete verbal outburst in the middle of the high street. I had someone in trying to get promote something, I watched him earlier he tried to use the thing to draw people in. If you want to laugh please do, to try and bring me in he said "YO!

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...

I know this is meant to be graphic, although I will try and take some out this is a disclaimer that there may be part find either disturbing or upsetting. Although I don’t know emotions I know that one 😃. Sudden changes these are hard for everyone even neurotypicals. I will try and do some of these sudden changes as there are a lot of them. I am going to cover around four of them. These will be death, break ups in a relationship, someone going to hospital and a general sudden change.   From this I will talk more about the affects because people don’t want to know about things like this. A general sudden change. This is where something is out of someone’s control usually. To someone on the spectrum most of us need control and order in some way. So, anything that throws us out of that order is sudden. This can lead to things like meltdown, overloads and physical abuse to other people- sorry. These are the general things that people know happen. What is happening inside m...
