· What is depression and Anxiety?
Depression feeling sad whether you have anything to feel sad or not. Depression is known as a lack of loneliness even when you're not alone. It won't be loneliness if you help yourself for others to help you. You feel even worse if you have nothing to feel sad about when you do. That sadness turns into anger, shame and even guilt because it seems as if the world is looking at you as if you're mad when you feel sad for no reason. Today there's more awareness than there used to be but we need to keep on raising awareness.
For most people like
myself keeping ourselves busy helps us to get on with our lives but not right
away when a crisis happens. Even Gps themselves find depression very hard to
understand.
Fear can be a sense of Anxiety, it's too easy to worry more than you should or bad things from the past can still be in your mind no matter how hard you try to forget it. Some people can face nightmares, flashback or and even panic attacks. If the person doesn't help themselves they may take it out others what they have been through or even worse. Some people may be just danger to themselves.
Very often employer worry about these people been a danger to themselves and other but if people are doing what they are good and what they enjoy, this bring a good and safe relationship with the people they work with. When look at it like that they are safer at work than at home. When they don't have anything to keep the mind busy they are more likely to be danger to themselves.

Advocacy is a way of making sure that services
are doing their job how they should, which these days are rarely the case.
Action tends to speak louder than words. Most of the time promises are made
then broken. Yes empowerment is needed one can't depend on other people and
services all the time but need to most of the time. different peoples' needs
and abilities are different this is why the government is cutting back on to
the most important thing even though it's important to save money as well. It’s
very important to look at things from both sides of the coin. Different people
need support on different things. It is also important to give people
confidence too.
Personal care tends to get
neglected too for the people who don't have family support. Attitudes need to
change because no one knows what others are going through unless a lot of these
problems happen to them. I think there's a lot of planning to make in services.
It's hard to say that we are getting better when all these cuts have come in.
The cuts are making us move backwards not forwards which shouldn't be the case.
A lot have of people have been let down by a lot of services for a lot of years, which can make it hard to have trust in services where they give up asking for help even though they need it. More often than not these people have no family support so they are used to nothing getting or and making do. The rest of the world thinks these people are getting their life fine and that they are but that’s not the case in many people.

long to notice, it just
something you learn to accept if you have been living with it all your life. It's
just hard getting people to accept the way you are as a person as well as a person with learning disabilities.
The causes are unknown; it can either
be on its own or linked to other disabilities like mine is. There's no limit of
time of long we feel worried and stress for. It can be even harder if it is linked
on to other disabilities because you feel angry not been equal to the rest of society. When you have been living with it all your life you learn to live with it
and you calmer than you used to be and accept bad things better. We get dryness in our mouths, we feel shaky, tense, fast heart beat and we find it hard to sleep. Just because a person may not face all these things, it doesn't mean they don't suffer from Anxiety Panic attacks are the main causes of Anxiety.

It can
be very strange bad and strange thoughts go into your head whether there's a
reason to feel like this or not.
You can feel
whatever way you feel whether your thoughts in your head are true or not.
These thoughts
can happen any time, any place and anywhere even in your sleep.
During childhood, which had
they can be night terrors but as adults they can be nightmares.
You can hear and see things
whether they are there or not.
Many times you chat to yourself
and answer yourself in your head.
Everything seems and feels so
real at the time whether it is all not.
Even though you go through
these things yourself it doesn't mean that everyone who suffers from Anxiety
and panic attacks does.
Lying in bed in my sleep this
morning I was on top of a bridge moving in rushing water of a storm.
Strangely on this bridge there
were a box of eggs, the lid kept on going up and down as the bridge was rocking
in the storm.
Although I was in bed covered
up I felt cold drafts going down my spine.
The water was rushing forward
like waves as if it was the sea but it was a river.
From the bridge the bottom of
the river seemed further and further down, i was trying not to look down but
the bridge took me down, the further I thought down seemed and felt very scary.
With very strong wind of the
storm the eggs were rushing of the bridge with the waves of the storm as the
bridge broke to bits.
I felt myself going further and
further more as the cold daft went through my spine then I couldn't bring
myself to go further more.
Now I feel mad with myself
because these thoughts came into my head for no reason at all yet I don't know
why.
In the past not that often I
have had thoughts not that much different to this but they seem so long to
remember now. 28.5.2013
WHAT MAY NOT HELP
YOUR AWARENESS?
People autism that are on certain tablets for example, very strong
tablets can cause very dangerous side -affects. Saying that these effects can
happen to you even if you don't have autism. Doctors should put you on the
tablets that are right for you.
You could find that these tablets affect your ability, which could be a scary and dangerous experience for you like it was for me. From walking the street around hours on end, you lose your sense of direction and surroundings. I have been close to have been getting run over by a car because of the tablets making me unaware. Sometimes we don't realise what a big wide world it is, it can be dangerous if that. It's as if you are always in a black out all the while. To society you as if you are going round the bend, which are when walking round for hours not understanding where you going, what you are doing, not knowing whether you are going the right or wrong way. These things can happen to you unintentionally, a lot of people don't understand that. It's as if you plan your life to be this way but you don't. People, who don't know and understand people with disabilities, tend to give us a hard time. May

Once someone tells you about something you have
been doing or not doing that your not aware of when you come round and someone
tells you what's happened, it's very upsetting because that isn't the real you.
May be it affects you when you don't have your tablets. Everyone is difference,
good job we are otherwise it would be a boring world.
I found the tablets I was taking in those day made me feel sleepily in the day and hyperactive at night, I guess these were a few of the side -affects from the old tablets. It's as if you have had an operation and the hospital has let you out right away to find your own way in the world.
The tablets in those days were very powerful and strong, I think I was on the wrong tablets because they were too; my fits have always only been very mild. For eg, Strong tablets are too strong for people who have mild fits, which causes people dangers to themselves and others through no fault of my own. The names of the tablets were called Phenobarbitone. I guess I was taking them three times a day, I think they were about 300mg to 500mg, I may well be wrong.

The tablets that I am on now are called Lamotrigine; they are only 100mg
which I only take one twice a day. These tablets are very mild, I don't get the
same problems as I used to get these day. I learn better and I am now more
aware of the world around me than what I used to be.
Because we don't look the same as them and we do and don’t do things
that they haven't experienced. If you come across people experiencing what I
have experienced, don't give them a hard time, support them. If they look lost,
confused, upset or and they look as if they are in danger, if you have time on
your hands take them where they need to go or find someone who can help them.
If you are supporting anyone with these problems, it can be worrying for them and for you. If at all possible may be you could keep a diary on how the tablets are affecting the person's everyday life, may be you can support them to see their doctor or and drop me an email if you need someone to talk to. May be I can try to support you on finding some information, websites, emails, advice and etc. May be it might be a case of changing their tablets or like in my case it was talking me off the tablets altogether. Which ever way it is, you may be able to see a difference in the person's awareness and ability. sarajgorman@gmail.com.
POSSIBLE SUPPORT.
What doesn't help our behaviour problems is lack of sleep, diet and we
feel tense.
We need to cut down on may be salt and sugar for sure because most of us with autism suffer from been hyperactive. If only my family knew in my childhood what they know now, may be everyone would have had some sleep. Going back when I was a child there were many things unknown like many generations before hand.
What people didn't know during in my childhood over twenty year ago, I needed exercise and I needed something to relax me? If you are like how I used to be or you may know someone who is, maybe that's the support what's needed for you or and whoever. May be I can look for websites that try to support Autistic children, teenagers, adults, their families and carers if you want me to. If you are supporting and caring for someone with autism in one way or another, you are welcome to contact myself or and Mencap, we could get you on to other places if you want, if our support isn't good enough. You could be a family member, a carer, even a support worker or a friend to them. Please email sarajgorman@gmail.com. Perhaps I can get you some websites, email addresses and etc if you want my support.

I have heard that there are disability nurses
in school but I am glad to say that they were there that in my day, sorry I
sound really old. It is true how things have changed so much in last twenty to
thirty years or so. There are also things that never have changed or and even
never will.
My weight and height was always checked. I was always too fat or too thin but never Anorexia or obese, or if you know what I mean. I don't think they never knew what eating disorders
were. Perhaps they had heard of Anorexia but not obese. Nine times out ten we are either underweight or over weight, that's all they knew. I think we knew about Anorexia which is under weight but not Obese which is overweight. I believe now that we do know, everyone should have check ups, mainly people with disabilities. Nine times out of ten people with disabilities have health problems so their weight isn't the only thing to think about.
For eg I was hyperactive as a child, I must admit I was to blame there. I did enjoy my sweets, cakes and etc too much. Its shows that in those days there were very little education given to adults about what's good and bad for children. My family were very good but society didn't really tell them about children who had disabilities at that time. Mind we didn't know a lot about anything in those days.
I'd also be interested to know how adults and teenagers coped with their disabilities yrs ago. Did they have carers because if they did, there weren't a great of support for the carers either? If you find anything out about the lives of people with disabilities in the past, please drop an email on sarajgorman@gmail.com. Thank you very much if you would like to share stories with me. We can share a lot of our own experiences if you are happy to do so. Something you have read, seen or saw may have caught your eye, which could be something to do with what I write about on this website. If you would like to email me, you can write to me about what you want.

I have told you what happened in my childhood
what has changed. What about the things that happened to people with learning
disabilities before people like me now were even born? It can be about
children, teenagers and adults in those times over any subject. For eg People
with disabilities weren't allowed to live alone, I don't think there were
support workers to support them. Sadly a lot of them live in homes, hospitals
and etc because not a lot of their families may not be able to cope with them.
With me it could also have been the heavy tablets I was taking at that time. I couldn't pay attention to anyone or anything in the day but as high as a kite keeping everyone awake at night. I was also suffering bad behaviour problems, which could have been another thing my tablets could be to blame for. Someone else whose suffering the same thing as me as what I did, their affects could be caused by certain foods for eg. May be some people suffer their affects with out their certain medicines and food. Like I have said it would have been a boring world if we would have suffered all the same things. Having said there are other affects as well as behaviour problems, hyperactive, lack of communication and understanding. There other causes of these affects I guess as well as tablets and food. I would be so grateful if someone could send me an email if they found anything, thank you so much. sarajgorman@gmail.com.

What do we learn from experiences from the past for the future?
Find out how medicines and foods can affect difference people's health problems and disabilities? Find out why some people have these affects without their certain medicines and foods?
What should we have known and what do we need know about helping people to look after their health problems and disabilities?
All I can think of now is having learning disability nurses should be not only in school but also in colleges and work placements as well. Mind you I think I have seen disabilities nurses in the colleges though. Please drop me an email if you know any information about that, thank you.
More regular check ups, gentle exercise and diet programs to match with the health problems and disabilities.
We need things that help people learning disabilities to relax to be able to cope with the good and bad times in their lives.

BE AWARE OF Possible SIDE - EFFECTS FROM SOME MEDICATIONS THAT
COULD AFFECT YOUR WORK AND EDUCATION.
A lot of people with disabilities like me I'm
one of those people who didn't learn anything in school because society wasn't
educated to teach people with disabilities. There was a lack of communication
and understanding between children and teachers. For eg;
I was on this medication called Phenobarbitone for Epilepsy; this affected my ability
to learn and I was very disappointed that I left school without any
qualifications. A lot of special schools didn't have any access for children with
disabilities to take exams when I was in school. I hope things have changed a
lot for children with disabilities since I was in school but please keep an eye
on side - effects of medication in case they are too dangerous for them! Later
on in this site you will read a report on how dangerous Phenobarbitone was.
When I left school, I caught up with my
education in college. OK, I achieved my exams but I every September I would
enrol on roughly the courses every year without a job at end of it, which went
on for years. It became very boring in the end.
Still
better late than never but if more support is given the quicker a person with a
disability is in the job they want. Well should I even say that having support
helps them along their way quicker so they don't have to cope with years of
discrimination like people of my age group did, before that? We were also very
limited to what courses; I was at college well over ten years.
I
enjoyed college but sometimes there was support but other times there wasn't. I
thought I was never going to get any support with work. I was signing on for 13
years, I thought I was going to be there forever, I hated it. My life has
changed a lot for the better since I have been with Our Shout supported by Mencap.
All these years of college have been worth it after all. I am still study now
but I was for exams when I was at Access 2 Business for the Social Enterprise
Business, which didn't kick off very long due to Mencap’s funding to support us
back in December 2009 to January 2011 is how long it lasted.
Courses
need to be more interesting for people with disabilities. I have read in the
report Valuing People now, since I have left college that a lot of courses have
cut back for people with disabilities. People like myself were either on
training schemes, voluntary work or and the dole. Please give support for
people with disabilities to be given better chances than that!

November 2010 update.
All people over Britain are suffering cutbacks for everything. When it comes to people with disabilities needing support for everyday skills for eg running a home, then there isn't the money to pay Social Care staff to support them. Families and carers aren't getting any younger so what does the future bring? These cutbacks affect every topic to do with peoples' lives which are affected whether you have disabilities and Health problems or not.
It is more dangerous for people with disabilities to look at the four walls 24 hours a day we need to work and go to college, we will just depressed otherwise. We need more to life than just keeping our lives and minds busy, we want a career just like you.
If you would like to email me on anything at all, I would be very interested here from you if it's anything to do with learning disability, meaning family member, carer, parent or a person with a learning disability yourself. You make want to talk about the cutbacks or and learning disability rights. sarajgorman@gmail.com. For people who don’t suffer from Anxiety, depression and epilepsy when there’s isn’t any work or anything going these health conditions came come on when people haven’t got anything or anyone in their live. For people who have got these health conditions it can make them even worse.

My Story.
Over
the years I have learned that I am just a bit of a slow learner, I'm not thick
after all. It's as if society thought I was useless and too much hard work for
them to teach me about life. We need to learn at our own speed otherwise we get
stressed out and we feel left out to others. I understand every human being
suffers with Anxiety but 9 times out of ten people with disabilities suffer
with health problems. Having said that too much Anxiety can make anyone ill or
and bring health problems on whether you have a disability or not. It would be
very helpful if people would have more patience with people with disabilities,
we understand, well at least I do that you haven't got all day but tomorrow is
another day or whenever another day is. If that's not possible, then I am sorry
to say that word again, we need to get the right support and the amount of
support that's right for each of us as possible.
This is something that doctors should look into
because this does not just accept the whose taking the medication but others
around mainly if the medication causes the person to have behaviour problems
for example if someone is Moody a lot. Like I say I have written in many
reports advising people to except the unaccepted in all people. That means
except anything. Some people seem don't in themselves with medication others
without. It's all swings and roundabouts.
Even most good things can be stressful for example; taking exams and waiting for exam results is another example even though on the other hand it could get me through life. I am very keen person if I fail I just keep going but despite of the panic it causes me, which is part of disability, I cope somehow. This can happen in any ones' case not just mine.

Back in May 2011, I lost my work with Mencap
because the funding was cutting back on the Our Shout Self Advocacy group. From
May to December there didn't seem to be anything not even the right courses for
me. I got very down in myself having to spend my days at home. I tried to ring
different services to get some counselling.
I just
needed someone to talk to before I started having thoughts of wanting to take
on my own life. I found very hard to think positive and I found it hard to
believe that things would get better again.
I rang
up Healthy Minds then they referred me on to the Crisis team, they were
asking me if I was going to take my own life, when and how I was going to do
it. I said no I just want some counselling before I felt at that stage then
they referred me back to Healthy minds. I even stopped taking my tablets to
stop myself from taking an overdose.
For example; Panic attacks can also bring on
Epilepsy but then with my disabilities whatever they are for sure. I was born
with lack of oxygen to the brain, which caused me to have fits from birth. When
I have stress or I think I have things to worry about I panic but sometimes it
brings a fit on other times it doesn't.
This can
mainly be when I have been misunderstood or and even confused with something
like information for eg; some things can make me panic then get me angry and if
I get too upset it may bring on my fits, depending what the situation is and
how stressful it is to me. I went 20 yrs without having a fitbit during that
time I was working at Camnant a living in riding stable in Newtown Powys Wales.
My Boss Miss Coyne thought I was having Petit Mal fits, which I couldn't
understand, I wasn't feeling unwell. She had got the doctor to put me on
Tegretol tablets without my families say so because she thought I was having
Petit mal fits. When were 20 I was so depressed with taking them for no reason
I overdosed on the lot but lucky enough as you know I pulled through? My
family went mad and got the doctor to take me off them. Most medications can
make people depressed which are caused by the side-affects.
Keeping me
busy is very important to me because I can take a long time to get into a new
route when things change and I can think bad thoughts during the time there’s
nothing is going on in my life. As time went on and I was starting pick I up I
went back to doing my poetry. In time I started to go back on courses to
building myself back to some kind of work, which is the same field as Mencap
near enough, which called 1 Voice and Rethink.
It was the same when my ex boyfriend Anthony split up with me the first
time I started writing poetry to help me cut down the drinking during the 20
years I wasn't having fits. Writing poetry helped me a lot to say what was on
my mind. When I think back it was
surprising that my fits weren't brought back on then. I was only 27 then but my
fits didn’t come back until I was 31.
Never say Anxiety, Depression and other health problems are negative because they are not.
Famous and talented people suffer from health problems or and even disabilities.

How these health
conditions can affect people and their lives.
People can have these conditions whether they have disabilities or not. Health problems can link to disabilities or be without disabilities.
Anxiety and depression is bad for enough anyone.
New things which is change whether it's good or bad can make people nervous. When some people get nervous they can have Panic attacks but Panic attacks can be brought by other things like for example; stress other reasons or no reason at all like depression.
Change can be a big thing for of people whether they are nervous about something or someone.
Asperser Syndrome is foam of Autism in people
who have high intelligence but it's also a hidden disability, which means
people don't see the problems people have. If
you spend a lot of time with us you will learn that we need more help than you thought. Yet we don't have difficulties in languages. Like expect the unexpected
because these disabilities, illnesses, conditions and disorders can affect different
people in different ways. I have found that I have got better than I used to be since
I have got older but it has been a very slow journey but I don't stop believing in myself and others like me.
Some of us like to spend more time alone, others like people round and some of us can feel like I do a bit of both.
We find it hard to understand people's thoughts and feeling, which may seem selfish but then I am better than I used to be.
We behave in a strange manner without been aware but I have found since I have got older I become more worried and more aware of it knowing off people I've known all
my life have told me.
This can be why we can find hard to make friends but that get better from my experience the more I have been aware of my Autism.
Be also aware of poor eye contact.

Communication Little language, speaking in the
same tone, unable to understand meanings of gesture and facial expression, hard
to understand jokes, mixing up words like you and I, repeating what they say or
and what other people say.
Flapping hands, twirling toes, fixed on the same route round our lives, getting upset by change, sensitive to sound, smell, touch and etc, misunderstanding peoples' thoughts, feelings, actions and etc. Not everyone faces the same all problems so it doesn't make them not Autism depending how many of these problems they do face.
Cause of Autism is unknown yet although in my case it's unknown whether I do
have Autism or not. I guess I'm more than likely Asperger if I am.
I guess just before the 21st century there was a case on the news about the MMR injection to protect Measles/ rubella, what I don't understand how can any learning disability a side - affect in any table, injection or any medicines and ect? If I do have Autism it is caused by what I was born lack of oxygen to the brain so I guess it's possible that MMR causes Autism Spectrum if that's the case.

When Anxiety links to Autism is when change
happens mainly when something can either
shock or even surprise a person. Good change a little bit of time to get used to as well as bad change. Anxiety is the reason why I am writing about Autism again. It
can make us more upset if we have different information on one thing off two or even
several different people. Autism is a life time disability and some people even call it a disorder. Most of us with Autism have learning disabilities. We find it hard to social interact, communicate. We find it hard not to let things get to us, which is
part of our Anxiety. Anxiety also kicks in when a person doesn't feel sure of themselves and the rest the world around them. When something is new whether it's good or bad to friendships/ relationships and or someone has died. For eg; Broken up relationships and deaths can make you feel depressed and as well as angry. Depression can make you feel very low in yourself, lose interest in everything, not wanting to talk to people, a mixer of feeling lonely and wanting to be on ones' own, smoking a lot, drinking a lot, taking drugs, feeling useless and as if the whole world is against you and not wanting to live anymore. Some of us pull out of it, try to help ourselves and get help like counselling for eg; whereas others give up on themselves.

Whatever is going on in peoples' lives and minds some people can sleep for thinking all the while others sleep to all the while to avoid the situations whether it's a good bad change in their lives.
Some people can find it hard to concentrate on other things they only cope with one thing at a time.
Some people may worry more than they should, which is part of their condition what seems a mole hill to you feels like a mountain to them. You just need to be patient until the person realises that things may not be as bad to what it seems to them.
Everyone suffers from
Anxiety and depression one way or another.
Sadly there's not enough said about stress I think we need to raise Stress awareness for everyone, that includes people with LD and Health problems.
Some people don't know that some people suffer LD and Health problems together, that's what I have otherwise I wouldn't have known that.
Anxiety and depression are forms of stress in everyones' lives.
Many things can get on top of people, paying bills, not enough work, too much work, marriage, relationships, children and even loneliness.
It's very hard to make a balance to keep healthily and happy.
This can be why a lot of people can turn to smoking, drugs and etc.
When you have learning disabilities there can be a lack of support off society because we are slow and find it harder to cope with our lives than other people yet we are easier ill than other people.
Stress, Depression and Anxiety can last short term or for life.
If you think about it we can all stuffer stress one way or another.

You feel tense.
You panic and worry about things that aren't as bad as they seem.
For eg; when I leave home to go anywhere I check my bag and my front door to make sure I have locked the door, remember my keys, bus passed and etc.
Touch wood I only forgot my money and phone once and had to travel from town back home to get, lucky I wasn't working at the time.
It seems like the end of the world when someone in your life dies or when your relationship breaks down.
You feel as if the world is controlling you.
I panic when I walk into services, load of people give me different answers to one question.
For eg; is this benefit right for me?

I can't cope with too much
jargon and too much information.
To be truthful the answer is either yes or no not both.
Managers need to inform all staff on what the rules are otherwise it confuses people.
Sometimes crowds can panic me where there are too many people around me.
I am a bit better than I used to be.
It can depend where I am and how many people there are.
When I really worry about things, it causes me to have Petit Mal fits.
I am easy misunderstood mainly when I am accessing services, when information doesn't seem straight forward to me.

My Gran died in 2007 and my last relationship broke down for the last time.
If it hadn't of been for Employment Pathways getting me on to Mencap, I don't know how I would have coped with my life now.
The first longest my relationship broke up at the end of 1996, which was two and a half years.
Now when I think about it wasn't that long yet after been apart 4 years, I gave him a second chance that lasted seven years.
Now there's no going back.
I couldn't stand sitting in the house alone but I wasn't in the mood to talk to people either.
I just used watch the world go by.
At that point I used to drink very heavy, which lasted six to twelve mouths.
I then worked it that couldn't go on like this forever yet I was still having a break down and even feeling as if I wanted to end my life.
Never the less I cut the drinking down and I started writing poetry to get things off my chest.

Learning disabilities can
be very limit abilities to what people can do. Learning disabilities can affect
different lives in different ways. Different people have different disabilities
and different skills to live our lives.
What are disabilities and health problems?
What is a learning disability?
Learning disabilities are caused by the way the brain or and body
develops.
Disabilities and health problems affect the brain, the body or both.
The level of support people needs depends on the needs of the
people themselves.
Many people don't understand learning disability and mental health.
Here are some forms of learning disability.
- People with profound
disabilities need help with their everyday lives.
- They also find it hard
to communicate.
- Mostly people who have
profound and severe disabilities need full time care.
- People with Moderate
disabilities may need very small amount of social
and emotional support.
- People
with disabilities and health problems are good and not good at
things just like you.
- People with mild disability
need very little or no support.
- Some people with mild and
moderate disabilities may need support in getting a job.
- We are seen for the things
we can't do rather than what we can do.
- We can't work and
think as fast as you.
- Society often sees us with
disabilities and health problems as a health and safety hazard, these
needs should be supported whatever we do.
- Even though our minds are
slow we are always thinking.
- Not all our thoughts and feelings
about life are known to you.
The meaning of learning disability is.
Everyone forgets but that depends how often we forget and what we forget.
The cause of forgetting doesn't mean you have disabilities and health
problems but disabilities and health problems do affect minds.
There can be a big difference between forgetting information or and
forgetting something important at home.
We may not be good at maths or spelling but we could be good or bad at
both.
Like you we have good and bad days.
Like you we are all different people.
We all have different disabilities and health problems.
Don't expect people with the same disabilities and health
problems to find the same things easy and hard.
Except anything off anyone.
There are lot of people with disabilities and health problems who are
talented.
People with disabilities and health problems are intelligent but not in
the eyes of society because we are intelligent in different ways than what they
are.
This is why society misunderstands us.
Often without thinking, we can express what we can't express to society
in poems, painting, and drawings and or in other creative ways.
Some disabilities and health problems are linked to one another.
For eg; a form of Autism Asperger Syndrome can be easy to misunderstand because it's much hidden.
Asperger Syndrome can be linked with
Dyspraxia, Epilepsy, Anxiety, depression and ADHD.
The causes of disabilities and health problems can happen before, during
or after birth.
Things can happen to the Central System.
The brain and Spinal cord.
Genes are chemicals in the bodies that contain information about us like
we look.
Many say that not all disabilities and health problems run in families.
A child born lack of oxygen during birth or born too early.
People with certain specific conditions can have disabilities too.
For eg; some people with Autism have learning disabilities.
Getting diagnosed.
It's not that often I can say that the government spends the money on the right things. In this case I feel its right to say that younger people have more rights to be diagnosed than older people. Older people always like to see that younger people get better help than what they did whatever it is. On the other hand life is unknown some things are too late to happen, others aren't.
The best time for disabilities and health problems to be diagnosed is
from birth and very early childhood.
This will depend on how long it will take for someone to notice the
first signs of disabilities and health problems in a person.
It's best to get diagnosed as soon as possible so people know what
support people need, and then they have more chance of leading equal lives to
others and being more understood.
Whether people get diagnosed or not, it may well depend on how long they
have lived with the disabilities and or health problems.
I would have thought it depends on what kind of disabilities and or
health problems people have to what kind of they may be able to get and what
their needs are.
Many people with disabilities and or health problems haven't been
diagnosed.
For eg; by a guess if you are over 40 it's hard to get diagnosed because
you weren't diagnosed from the start of life or whenever the disabilities or
and health problems started.
They didn't diagnose disabilities and health problems years ago.
How do disabilities affect lives?
People with disabilities tend to take longer to learn new and everyday living skills than other people.
For eg; household tasks, socialising managing money and etc.
These difficulties affect the lives of learning disability and mental
health.
People with disabilities and health problems tend to do things quicker
with the right support.
We can find to understand complex information.
We can find it hard to mix with people mostly people who rush into doing
things without supporting us.
This can cause a lack of communication and understanding between people
with and without disabilities.
Britain has very little money live for all people due to the cuts that
the government are making.
It's always the ones who need help the most who have very little or none
of it.
People with disabilities, health problems, children and elderly people
need more help than most.

Learning disability can affect people's' everyday lives. Memory, understanding, reading, writing, education, work, home, friendships, relationships are the skills many people with disabilities and health problems can’t cope with.
Disabilities can be caused before, during or after birth.
Learning disability can vary from person to person.
Some people learn very well in school but others don't, I didn't.
The teachers used to shout at me to tell me to wake up.
I was always lacking in my school work.
I was very hard for them to teach.
When I left school I worked very hard in college to pass exams which I didn't do school.
Information wasn't accessible in those days.
It's better than it was but we still have a long way to go.
As a child I had a very poor memory in what the teachers were trying to teach in class.
I could not take information but I could read and write fairly well, I mostly used to copy off the board.
I learned more when I left
school when I was there.
Signs and symptoms of learning disabilities and health problems.
People can find it harder and longer to learn than other people.
Feeling angry because they can't learn as quick as others or not at all.
Behaviour problems due to disabilities, health problems and we want to be equal to other people.
Misunderstanding information and people around us.

Learning disabilities are conditions and Mental Health problems that affect the body and or mind. For most people chances in life can be very limited but most people have the right support. Some disabilities can be linked to Mental Health, which can all vary. People who have disabilities and Mental Health problems mostly have mental disabilities, which slow the brain down. Many of these people have hidden disabilities that can't be seen such as mine for eg; one is dyspraxia, which is a grip with the hands, coordination and Motor skill problems.
According to Mencap there are 1 - 5 people with learning disabilities in the UK.
There are all different kinds of disabilities.
Autism is a disability that people should accept the unexpected of.
There are so many debates about Dyslexia whether it is a learning disability or not. Dyslexia is also misunderstood because it's known as a reading and writing disability so people tend to think that people can't read. More often than not the mind works the wrong way round. When a person knows that certain letters are in a certain word but can be put in the wrong places or the wrong way round. This can work the same with numbers.

I haven't been diagnosed
Dyspraxia but my Auntie think I have Dyspraxia. Over the past
ten years or so she has come across a few who have the same problems as me. I still
think I need to be diagnosed but I wouldn't be surprised if I am because my Coordination is bad am Motor skills. Now I have learned what my own problems could be I would like to help others like me to see they will get more help than me. For eg; seeing that young children better exercise support than what I did. Support aids and seeing that people get the support people need.

You may well find you will
face different disabilities and health problems finding different things hard
through their life. For eg; don't expect two dyslexia to face the same problem,
you could be surprise with one person to the other how strong they can be. For
eg; one person may be good with letters but not good with numbers. I can
numbers and letters the wrong way round.
My experience of Dyslexia
is very often a memory problem for eg; I remember getting bs and ds mixed up I
needed to write the word dog. I suddenly went blank so when wrote the og I know
I was wrong because bog didn't look right to me. I rubbed it out to put dog,
yet I have stories and poems in my mind. I have always been known for missing
words out of sentences and numbers back to front 82 becomes 28, yet I have
always found maths very hard. Yet getting numbers back to front and bs and ds
the right way round doesn't happen as often now, I still miss words out of
sentences and get letters in the wrong places even though I know they are in
the word. Sometimes I notice my mistakes other times I don't that's why I need
a proof reader.
One thing they could have
in common with on the bright side is talent but different talents. For eg; one
person could be good at drawing and painting, the other person writing such as
poetry and short stories or like me both.
Hearing, speech, eyesight
needs Braille and sign language; these disabilities can link into a lot if not
all disabilities.
It’s like when I said there's different kind of Autism. Sorry to confuse you, Autism is a learning disability. As for how people with disabilities cope with like I said with Autism just except the unaccepted not two people with the same disabilities face the same good and bad in life.

There are many more if you
tap in learning disability websites in your search engine.
Mencap say that 1 in 5 people in the UK have learning disabilities. Learning disabilities either start before, during or after birth depending what the disabilities are.

The causes are unknown; it
can either
be on its own or linked to other disabilities like mine is. There's no limit of
time of long we feel worried and stress for. It can be even harder if it is linked
on to other disabilities because you feel angry not been equal to the rest of society. When you have been living with it all your life you learn to live with it
and you calmer than you used to be and accept bad things better. We get dryness in our mouths, we feel shaky, tense, fast heartbeat and we find it hard to sleep. Just because a person may not face all these things, it doesn't mean they don't suffer from Anxiety Panic attacks are the main causes of Anxiety.

Stress is the biggest
killer of all for everybody mainly in today's cuts backs in the country, we are
all in the same boat. Bear in mind that stress plays on a lot people's state of
mind anyway, which can course Anxiety and depression when people worry too much
over things. Some things just won't get out of peoples' minds or it can take a
long time. For example; things from relationship and marriage break ups to
death having to pay bills is even more for what they chrange. Mencap say People
with learning disabilities 58 times likely to die before the age 50 but that's
not in the case in everybody. Like I said Stress is a killer for all people but
if you have learning disabilities or and health problems on it's own it's
double the pressager.
British men are three times more than likely to take their own lives than British woman.
At least 75% of people in the UK, suffer from depression, I guess that includes people with and without disabilities but I don't know for sure. Only about 3rd of people try to get help. My worry is if people keep on suffering alone they will make themselves ill. Depression affects one in five older people who live in the community, even more care homes.
Anxiety Disorder is a kind of Mental illness that causes people to feel worried and stressed whether we have anything to worry about or not. Other than counselling, exercise and cut down on coffee is the only treatment I'm aware of. Most medications may be on the market but I have been living with it far too long to notice, it just
something you learn to accept if you have been living with it all your life. It's
just hard getting people to accept the way you are as a person as well as a person with learning disabilities.
Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder is a very high form of Autism.
The easiest way to say it is ADHD.
This is where a person has too much energy; they won't sit down for one minute.
What calms me down in the end was when the doctors took me off the heavy dose tablets I was, which had been on since birth to 13 years old.
They don't sleep at night, which makes them very over tired, moody and not easy to get along with.
They can pull a paddy at any time, any place and anywhere.
This can cause very poor concentration.
It can cause a lot of lack of communication and understanding with the people around them.
I was very hyperactive as a child.
I suffered from very bad behaviour problems, I would have a temper paddies any time any place and anywhere.
I would scream any place down.

I didn't get on very well in school.
I hope Health staff today can become more aware of the side affects a lot of medications can have. One can never be too sure if the information on the packages is right.
Some people who live their own with very little support mainly with these cut backs, may not find the information on the packs accessible meaning clear.
If the person has none or little support health staff should go through the information with them.
It only takes someone not to have anyone or enough people around them; if they don't understand the information they may take too much medication or none at all.
It's possible I may have had ADHD as a child or it could have been due to the tablets I was taking at the time.
It may well be worth looking into family history and research to if there has been any learning disability in your family history whether there is now or not.
What disabilities do or and did?
Injuries, long, short term illness and etc,
Affects of lives.

He causes are hard to know
but from my experience, I was put on a heavy dose of tablets that were far too
strong for my fits, from birth to 13.
This lost me a lot of my school education; I never got on with the teachers all the children.
What made it even worse was that there was very little any education in learning disability and mental health in those days.
When I came off those tablets, after a couple of years or so I started to become more of the world, learn things and slowly starting to get along with people.
What we are starting to be more aware of is the salt and sugar that can send people on a high. Despite of some foods and drink been low sugar and salt now, there's still a lot with far too much salt and sugar in. We need to be keeping an eye on these things. For eg; have they left enough sugar and salt out? I admit as a child I used to eat a hell of a lot of sugary things, which we very unaware of back then.
Autism is a life time learning disability that affects the way people communicate and how they get along with people. Autism can also affect people's awareness making then out to not to care how people are feeling when all it is they aren't aware. It is an unawareness of the big wide world. Not everyone whose has Autism and other disabilities for that matter faces the same problems. An overcrowded world can cause a person with Autism Anxiety, it also cause people around them Anxiety too.
People with the Autism Spectrum condition face difficulties that affect their disabilities in different ways. Some people with Autism live independent lives with very little support others 24 hour support but still live in their own homes.

What many people don't
understand is there are many disabilities are hidden so people don't think we
have as many problems as we have. I have never been diagnosed but my family
have read book films on Autism, they have a feeling that I may be. To my
knowledge there's only one form of Autism that's a hidden disability but if
that's the case I must have some form of Autism.
Some people like me find it hard to explain what we are trying to say. This can cause a lack of communication and understanding. On the bright side one way or the other we are creative people for eg; me with my writing, I also draw and paint. Through people not understanding you can be misunderstood, this can make you feel unhappy or and even left out of society. This can affect the choices and control people should have over their lives whether they have Autism or not.
Many people with Autism may be affected by sound, taste, smell, light, colours and etc.
People with Aspire Syndrome are often average intelligence. They have very little problem with speech but they may find it harder to understand information.
When it comes to support with money there's never a balance. People are either over crowding you or not there at all.
We don't always get the right services to support us. In Wolverhampton there's more support Autistic children than adults.
We don't always get the right support with work, benefits, home and etc.
Travelling.

Autism affects a lot
people's lives in different ways. It can either depend on what kind Autism
people have got but then no two people with the same Autism may face the same
problems like all disabilities. Just except the unaccepted.
I find it hard to cope with empty or over crowded people and places. I find it hard to cope with busy airports with information flashing on and off so fast.
I find my way round better in my home area and town. I guess I find it hard to snap out of change and route because I had been over protected for so many years of my life.
Not many people with disabilities such as me can drive so we have to re lie on public transport. I'm lucky than most some people don't know their about and what bus stop to get on and off. There was once a time I was like that, it took me years to learn it but better late than never.
Some people miss out on going out at night because they don't their way around, they are scared of crime, bullying and Anti - social behaviour. There isn't enough money for Support workers to come out to support at night and many people can't cope their money. Some these things I have problems with myself but not all. With me it's mainly my money.

Employment.
Most employers don't understand learning disability. Not everyone takes note of the Disability Discrimination Act. It's better than it was but we still have a long way to go. People still have to cope with discrimination.
We are still a Health & Safety hazard to employers, when isn't enough funding to support us to be healthy and safe.
Here some of the mistakes employers and the government make.
Not enough support for people who can't use computers.
The government spend the money the least important things.
The government is robbing off the poor instead of the rich.
Not enough support to work to time limits and do the job right.
If you work in the LD field you will need to learn about Accessible Information. For eg; Braille and sign language. A lot of people with LD such as me find too much information and jargon hard and confusing.

The government bores me to tears but I'm a learning disability MP for the People's Parliament supported by a Self - Advocacy group called Changing Our Lives. You may want to write to complain to the MPs and government on how people with learning disabilities and health problems are treated in different ways of life.
People with LD, families, carers and etc are
welcome to email me on sarajgroman@gmail.com or sarajanegorman@gmail. It’s my
job to find out what the government in Houses of Parliament are playing at.
The world only started learning about Autism in 1943 but its still isn't known now. The figures are roughly there 500,000 families of people with Autism. Research says it more common in boys than girls.

Different kinds of Autism.
Autism Spectrum isn't all that different to Aspire Syndrome apart from people with Aspire don't appear to have learning disabilities our disabilities are much hidden. It can take a long time for people to learn and understand Aspire. Spectrum is mostly noticed. For eg; they may have major speech problems whereas people with Aspire may have mild speech problems. Both forms of Autism find it hard to communicate in society, interaction and imagination.
To put a guess on my kind of Autism I think I could be Aspire. I have problems with my hands I find it hard to grip things for eg; opening everyday things like jars and bottles, bad coordination, bad motor skills. This is another hidden disability that hasn't been diagnosed. My Auntie thinks I may have Dyslexia.
In some ways people with LD are our own doctors because we know how our problems affect our everyday lives.
Many people like me with possible Aspire suffer from Dyslexia. I was diagnosed for Borderline Dyslexia because I mostly use my right hand; my left hand is very weak. People tend to think with dyslexia that people can't read and write. That's not true; we just see words, letters and numbers that could be the wrong way round. Like all disabilities dyslexia varies from person not disability to disability. You must accept the excepted. People with dyslexia do have spelling problems but we can also be misunderstood. Like I said about letters and numbers 28 could be 82. The person with dyslexia will know that certain letters are in a word but written the wrong way round or in the wrong places. Words may be missed out of sentences.
Many people with Autism suffer Anxiety and depression mainly when we don't feel equal to all people.

I wasn’t able to tie your shoe laces as a
child at the same time as your school mate. When most children see that they
don't want to be your friend, they see you as a bullying target just because
you may be different to them.
Autism World.
They say we aren't very good with imagination. Nine out ten children with Autism find it hard to play with other children because we aren't as quick as they are and we don't understand the games like they do. How squib do they think we are? It’s their loss out when we can make up our games quite happily on our own. Just have our dolls, teds and etc, they become people we can communicate with. We make up our own stories so in the end people with Autism aren't alone after all. I think what’s made me enjoy writing short stories and poetry today. If we are taken from our world it affects us badly, it's best to let us move on to our new Autism world in our own time. We are slow learner, we get somewhere in the end but whether it's where we want is a different story. I'm still trying to come out of the Autism world now at the age of 41 but it's not very easy. The strange thing is that I don't whether I like the Autism world or yes and no, you’re alone but no one can answer you back.
The world seems like a mass of people bigger, better and quicker than people with Autism. For most of us there comes a time that we learn to understand the world isn't as big or black and white as it seems, it just takes us a long time to understand that. This is what can make it hard for us to get along with people. Some of very slowly learn to understand people and their feelings rather than just our own. Childhood is the worst time from what I faced to not be aware of others. For some of us for at least roughly mid adulthood we learn to understand there are others around us as well as ourselves.
Yet during childhood you live in a world think you are like other children yet not understanding why you are learning slower than other children yet you are still aware learning slowly is most the reason why children may be bullying you. They don't understand why you aren't equal to them because you can't do things at the same speed as them but when you think about as a child you don't understand it either. This is why you think you should be like other children and why shouldn't you being? In the end it's the way life is that causes so much misunderstanding through no one's fault.
It can take people themselves a long time to come terms to understand they have learning disabilities and they learn slower than other people and with the right support skills can be achieved.
