An Update on Goings On.

Yesterday I went out to lunch with my LAC and a lady from the Autism Association. Sort of felt posh “out to lunch” . I had a chicken, cheese and tomato toasted sandwich and a small botle of Coke.
They wanted to make sure I felt supported after the events of the last few months and […]

Eye Contact

This is a tough subject because it is very difficult to explain.
I am not very good at eye contact. In my autism report it is quoted by my mum (who was interviewed separately) that my gaze is often “off to one side”. During my assessment, I spent virtually the whole time looking at the floor.

To describe my room: room is square with a bit of a corner cut off, maybe for storage on the other side. Green carpet, the sort you would not kneel on because it would hurt the knees, scratchy. There is black skirting boards all the way around and the walls are painted a very light […]

I was woken up by screaming last night. I thought it was in my dream because I have dreams like that. I don’t feel like breakfast but I will give it a go.
I had breakfast. Two pieces of tast with margerine and jam and a cup of tea. I know some people here now. I […]

Found out that GA won’t be able to message me on his phone. My phone was taken away because it can take photos. I wonder if that is what happened to my friend. I still miss her. As far as I know, she hasn’t messaged me back.  :(
Also, I got moved to the floor […]
