Autism, Life and Learning

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...

So today I thought I would do something different🙃. I am going talk a bit about emotions😮, I know that I try and stay away from this. This time around I am going to talk about areas and link them to music. Why music? This is because I can’t name the emotion, but I can name the song that I feel similar or that sums up that emotion.

I'm going to talk about this way of speaking. I mention this from my review of Atypical ( click here to see the review). If you have read it then you may know what I'm talking about- Person first language. I hate this way of talking. This way of speaking means they say the person before their diagnoses. They say things like person with autism when it’s easier and truer to say autistic person. This form of language makes it sound like they’re is a cure or even a manageable way to control someone’s autism.   Firstly, none of this is true. You can't cure autism. You can't manage or control it. The best you can do is just accept the person, as a person. Instead of using this silly way of speaking, just be nice, if people don’t understand then explain it some more. If everyone who is autistic uses this way of speaking, one they look really stupid and sound very simple. The community as a whole doesn’t need that. Also, if someone uses person first speech in the everyday ...
