My mum. monday 22nd decem 014

Posted on December 22, 2014 at 5:55 PM Comments comments (0)

really having to dig deep to write this one.if i do not will not be done full stop.next week it will be ONE YEAR AGO 

since my mum passed away.can hardly beleive it.so far what has helped me is i have asked AUNTS/UNCLES too come

see US ,.as mostly i go to see THEM,  aunt Lynn and colin come yesterday.my dad is away on holiday.I KNEW for a long time

it was like i was given a sign .my mum WOULD go before my dad,anther thing i did was my dad gave me some pages of my mums

address like friends.i wrote to some few weeks after my mum passed away.BUT I DECIDED to finish the address so i sent TEN 

CHRISTMAS CARDS OUT of the remaining..been getting GOOD REPLYS.if people can not stay in contact how can i inform them when 

my dad does go.my mum had very good life ..keeps me going,it is very very hard /difficult too any body who has Aspergers .how they cope

deal with it when family passes away.NO RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE..to ANY BODY WITH ASPERGERS I SAY THE FOLLOWING

1,keep/stay in contact as much as possible with family,relatives//aunts/uncles,IN-LAWS ONLY IF YOU HAVE GOOD ONES .i do NOT .

2.get them too come see YOU.,really look forward too it.

3.have a cry.IT REALLY HELPS.i think even more so having aspergers.I THINK having a cry has HELPED STOP ME FROM HAVING COMPLETE

MELT DOWNS,..ALL SO THINK that that person who passed away .WOULD NOT WANT TOO SEE YOU GOING DOWN HILL,witch many PEOPLE

have been waiting for TOO SEE ME,

Posted on December 3, 2014 at 5:20 PM Comments comments (0)

the other week i was asked a question ..How do i find the courage to be honest//open about my conditions

i am older than most.so that gives me an edge,people can take it or leave it.i have a long list health problems

have these seven days a week.bladder//bowel problems .MOST DAYS I AM REALLY SHITTY.i all ways say how i

feel.having aspergers i exsplain in great detail.so I UNDERSTAND .as for friends //family .you would think they

would understand be more aware that by talking in detail about the conditions family/friends will THINK THAT

YOU ARE HELPING OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAME CONDITIONS .AND BY TALKING ABOUT IT YOU ARE

HELPING YOUR SELF.even more so having aspergers it is every day effecting in very different ways.IF FRIENDS

FAMILY CAN NOT SEE THIS ,it is there great great LOSS.the person who asked me this gets my blog so they will

be reading ..,if i did not talk in great detail it would corse me meltdowns..i am the person with these problems .lot

more THAN MOST PEOPLE .why should I NOT TALK .because of what FRIENDS//FAMILY THINK //WHAT THEY SAY


i have THREE INTERVIEWS COMING UP.two i am waiting for there replies too my questions

sex, thursday 27 th noven 014

Posted on November 27, 2014 at 6:10 PM Comments comments (0)

wait a cockin pickin min here do i see red faces, yes you see..sex.., very rare subject ware Autism//aspergers is 

i have so far taken part in TWO sex researchs .on the internet .one was fron Canada ,isabelle Henault 

the second was from Australia. I HAVE THESE RESULTS. on both researchs OVER nine hundred people with

Aspergers took part.that in its self says how effected sex and aspergers are.very very sadly there is NO SEX RESEARCH

HERE IN ENGLAND for aspergers.I FIND THIS VERY VERY DISGRACEFUL...people like MYSELF we are very very aware

about sex .what happens.BUT WE ARE VERY VERY ..UN...AWARE ABOUT OUR  BODIES.how confusing can this get..we 

are more aware about sex THAN WHA T MOST PEOPLE ARE.ISABELLE HENAULT .when she did her sex research with it

isabelle had a book published about sex//aspergers .IT IS A BIBLE TOO ANY BODY WITH ASPERGERS ..very very detailed

all ways been very very impressed by this book ..i think any body with Aspergers ..PUBERTY IS HELL,i think what helps well

what helped me the most was SEEING IN PERSON PEOPLE NAKED/NUDE ...BEING NAKED.NUDE is a very big part of

having Apergers.

Posted on November 7, 2014 at 4:20 PM Comments comments (0)

PART THREE,

1,meltdowns,how these effect you ,the every day effects you have

reply

my melt downs usually involve scratching.biting my hands ripping my hair out.slapping myself across the face and screaming .after a melt down i am exhausted .and need too sleep for several hours to feel better again.i have exserienced isolation at school.when wanted to sit near me and that was horrible .nowadays i prefer my own company a lot and can self isolation with any problems,rather than a result of other peoples ignorance.

2,research have you taken part in any .if yes what, if no why not.

replyi have taken part in genetics research .several years ago with cambridge university .where myself.and family members swabbed the insides

of our cheeks and had the swabs sent off for dna testing.to see if there was A genictic link too aspergers as far as i know in the case of my immedate family.i am the only one who showed genetic link .but it was a long ago now and i cant remember properly.i no longer have the time too 

do research really. although  i always read the latest research.

3.skin picking ,how do you cope

reply.

i pick my skin when i get stressed or anxious .the worst time was a couple of months ago. in september when i went for a job interview WHICH I DID NOT GET,when i scratched my knuckle so much that i still have a scar there today .it scabbed and took two weeks to heal i find that it helps me focus some times when i am anxious full meltdown.but it is still a destucktive habit

4.you,have bowel problems.talk about them.bloating.painful.when did it start.have you had any bullying ,stairing.bad jokes

reply.

my bowel problems are not as severe as yours .they started 7 years ago .after i had a fever.got lot worsor,i get bloated.going to the toilet can be painful .i dont have any continence .and dont experience any accidents ,i have never recieved any bullying or nasty jokes related to my bowels .i have been on medication for this in the past.namely buscopan and medeverine i dont take any medicines as i dont feel that they helped.i do get through  cycles of feeli ng very NAUSEA at night time in pasrticular,but i am never actually sick with it

5.a question for you too ask me

how do i find the courage to be so honest on your blog about how my conditions effect  you .there are some things i could never talk about 

on my blog,because i would not want my friends //family knowing them,..so i am impressed that you are so honest on your blog.

my reply.

 i am older than you .been there had that happen .done this.,i say how i feel ,VERY FEW PEOPLE DO ,i am the person with problems like

aspergers,..M.E. ,bladder/bowel issues.allergies.I HAVE THESE EVERY DAY EXSTREMELY BAD MOST DAYS..if people do not like what i

say how i say it .it is there problem.I take people for who they are.not .NOT,there problems ,disability,HOW EVER,I NEVER AND I MEAN 

NEVER GET THAT BACK FROM ANY BODY AT ALL .,

interview with Stephanie thurs 6th noven 014

Posted on November 6, 2014 at 4:50 PM Comments comments (0)

part two.

1,should make up be seen as a disability  like cream .

reply

no,make up should not be seen as a disability .because it is not a signifcant impairment that effects people daily lives.and weather some one wears make up or not.it does not effect their ability to carry on, tasks of daily living the way most disabilities do

2.question fot you to ask me .

do i feel that some cases of aspergers are mis diagnosed .this is a controversial topic ,but i do believe that some case of aspergers are misdiagnosed .

my reply ..,very very true I THINK THE SAME AS YOU DO,i was diagnosed with aspergers in 1991 ,BUT BEFORE PEOPLE WAS SAYING ..AUTISM

3.skin picking ,how do you cope,

reply.i skin pick when i get stressed or anxious ,the worst time was a couple of months agoin september.when i went for a job interview I ENDED UP NOT GETTING THE JOB.when i scratched my knuckle so much that i still have a scar there to day.it scabbed and took two weeks too heal i find that it helps to focus some times when i am anxious and stops me from  going into a full meltdown .but it is still  A destructive habit

4.a question for you to ask me . how do i find it being a author .what is my life style like 

my reply.

two books i have written one about all research i have taken part in,second is .allergies.obsessions sensory.my books can not be 

published because i can not work.it would effect money that we get a lot.SO I FEEL BAD .TERRIBLE ,my books are there for people to 

read understand .be aware.

if i have missed any thing then will recap tomorrow.
