Autism, disability, and mental health awareness doc 2.

 First of all why I am writing this document? I am writing this because every April is Autism awareness, every May is Mental health month, disability month is June next month but to me there should be awareness of disabilities, mental health, Autism and more. Reason for this everyday someone somewhere is likely to discover something new whether it is them, someone else etc who is facing ever. To start with in some things a name is not discovered right aware. It is really unknown to most names of things why they are named what they are.

What is the different between Autism, disability, and mental health. Autism is more a devolvement condition, never a disability or not mental illness. However,’ Autism can be misunderstood as a mental illness as many people, such as myself face very high Anxiety levels, even in some people if not most face other mental illnesses with or without Anxiety but on the whole Anxiety can link a lot with Autism. Another condition that that is similar to the mental illness Anxiety can link to Autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD, which be easily confused with one another or misunderstood. Now what is an easy way to understand? Autism is a devolvement condition; Anxiety is a mental illness and ADHD is a condition. How are they similar? Anxiety and ADHD mainly can cause people in different ways to panic, get stressed, worry, etc for example; more so compared to most other people. Autism can bring on meltdowns in some people through Anxiety, which may be something that can change, for them, route, etc, even more so if that change or route is unexcepted to them or if and if they did not know that change and or route etc is going to happen.  Autism and ADHD: What are the autism vs. ADHD: Difference, Symptoms, Causes, Treatments (verywellhealth.com)y differences?

Autism, some people with Autism face speech and language problems, this may vary from type of Autism or the people themselves. Some may have difficulty with socializing and communication, sensory problems but can be liking or and disliking smell, touch, taste, etc, more all, which causes them to react in certain ways compared to other people, which can be positive or and negative, etc. They could be rocking backward and forwards, spinning, running up and down, etc, which others may find strange, mainly if the person is an older child, teenager, or adult for example, things like that through no fault of the person’s own, it can affect their friendship, relationships, etc with people.  Where people need to learn to understand why they are as they are, although, with the right training and support from others, not everyone shows those behaviors, which although in a big way is good but then can hide the condition, not that these problems can be an excuse but awareness needs to be raised.  

 Some things can bring on anxiety, making them more sensitive, nervous, etc compared to other people such as a change of route, learning school to study, work, build up to exam, exam itself, driving lesson test, etc because they are trying so hard to achieve and pass. Once that is done, they are fine if they passed but if they fail they struggle to accept that or and struggle to accept if they can try again, etc.

 This could be an example of anything like moving house, making friends, dealing with death, and more which could be positive, negative, or the other or both. When it comes to positives it is the build-up of working on something happening or in some situations  while they are going on like exams for example.

ADHD, finding it hard to focus on everything going on at once, this can affect a person’s career, etc where they may only be able to focus on one thing at a time.

They can react etc without thinking, they may miss things out, put too much into something, etc without meaning to, even maybe in case do things, say things, etc too slowly or quickly, they may struggle to cope with busy groups of people, etc. For example, a busy classroom, struggle to wait their turn to speak, etc. They may not complete their work whether it is a school, college, or work at the same time as everyone else, which is where support needs to be put in place if it is so important, they complete a task, etc the same time as everyone else does. This can make them misunderstood for someone they are not. These examples; could be misunderstanding the task, even writing too little or too many words, etc to an essay or both in the case may be.  If not supported can be hard on the person, where they could be in fear of being left behind.
