Mark Kent

i would like people to welcome a young lady who has Aspergers.i am very very impressed with her.THIS INTERVIEW WILL BE IN TWO PARTS

Tlk a little about your self .age.your blog details.your work.,JOB.

i am 28 and run a blog at www.spectrumeye.wordpress.com.in which i detail my thoughts on various aspects of aspergers ,i work shifts as a residential support worker.in a home for children with epileasy .autism and profound and multiple learning difficulties.i have been there for under

six years now and love it.

1,what would you like to see change most in the autism/asperger syndrome world

reply,the thing i would like to see change most is i would like this myth that we lack empathy to stop .so many people with aspergers have very high levels of empathy .they just may not be displayed in the typical way .eg,hugs

2.when was you diagnosed with aspergers .age ,has it helped you being diagnosed.how do people treat you like friends.family.work mates,have 

you had any bullying if yes what happened .do you have any sisters//brothers

reply.

i was diagnosed with aspergers at the age of eight .i think the diagnosiss has helped me .because it has mde me more aware of my own strenghs and limitations .and it has helped me to develope coping strategies .people generally treat me well.although will some times comment

that they don.t understand me and find this frustrating.i was bullied at school .but.am no longer bullied now.the bullying was mainly verbal.i would get called SPASTIC. a lot and people would ignore me when i walked in a room.i have a older brother .1,younger sister.a four year old half sister .2,step sisters and 3.stepbrothers.

3,do you have hayfever,asthma.migraines.do you find aspergers makes them allergies a lot worsor

reply,

i do have hayfever .which i take certrizane for.i n the hayfever season. i get occasional headaches.but they are not migraines.i do not have asthma.i do not think that aspergers in itsself worsens allergies .but i think our tendency to be irratable when stressed or tired means we cope with them less well.

4.what do you think of sex education for people with autism/aspergers 

reply.

i think sex education for people with aspergers//autism is essentialwe exsperience the same feelings.and desires aseveryone else .but can be taken advantage of it is in our best interests to know to stay safe from unwanted pregnanies and diseases.

5.a question for you too ask me...,what do i think of all the research going into what causes autism .do i think science is too obsessed wiyth this,

my reply.

i am a very very big VICTIM of taking part in research ,i am very well REPECTED FOR DOING THIS.if i did not take part in research how can

people understand,how can people held with such a problem as autism/aspergers.for science YES,IT IS VERY MUCH OBSESSED with

this.people with autism/aspergersnhave lot obsessions SO SCIENCE BEING OBSESSED .VERY VERY VERY GOOD FOR US,

                             mark

1.do not shave straight down.

2,do not use shaving cream .will make it very sore

                                           mark

i think very strongly that  M.E. and Anorexic have a great great deal in common.

when my m.e. starts i eat .i am feeling more better than i did.not great deal better .just better that i was 

if Anorexic stares  when i eat .i am feeling more better that i did .not great deal betterr.just better that i was 

when i eat all so i do not feel as dizzy as i would have ,WHEN//BEFORE i had eaten... .BOTH M.E. AND both

M.E ABD ANOREXIC CORSE ME VERY VERY BD HEADACHES..i am All   WAYS ICJ, OFTERN  a lot sich,

                       mark

i have all ways hated//detested having Any medicines .i think this is very true for any disability .i find tablets/medicine very difficult to keep down

very very often choking ..being sick badly .swallowing great deal difficult,one thing that i found that helps mr a little, i have found a few things that

help me .like  get a glass put at least 3 ice cubes in next some PURE ORANGE DRINK WITH JUICEY BITS NOTE ...OR...CRANBERRY OCEAN 

SPRAY WITH ICE CUBES .,LEAVE IT FOR SAY threee mins .and drink away.the coldness of the juices helps a great deal/...nothing else at all 

helps,.i have tryed it  with say buiscuits //bread i am left choking. even when having pure orange or cranberry and the choking is like a am nearly

sick .HAS HAPPENED found it very difficult too try to STOP MYSELF BEING SICK ,because of the different health problems that i have i have to 

take DIFFERENT medicines.some are lot worsor than others takes me a couple of goes. then i have a lay -down tablets/medicine will stay down

RARELY HAPPENS  .mostly tablets/medicine COMES BACK UP.
