It,s not easy being understood when you have a learning disability, or even making yourself heard. I am writing this blog to show how my disability affects my day to day life and what help & support I need.

Autism awareness
Causes of Autism.
Cause Autism is unknown yet in my case I
was born lack of oxygen to the brain.
I guess in the late 20th century to the early 21st century,
it was reported on the news about the MMR vaccines,
if anyone remembers that, the risks and concerns that
it could cause Autism, to protect German meseases/
rubella. Yet did not see a learning disability as
I thought as Autism as a side - affect from a injection,
I found that hard to understand but maybe you have
your own views. I thought if this study is right
it is likely to cause autism spectrum rather than
Asperger, not sure why I thought that.
I admit this study is probably wrong but going by my
Mother and experience, I was born lack of oxygen
because my Mum was neglected, where she had me
before help came to deliver me. Therefore’
I was born too quickly and I was fitting but
despite of that my weight was fine, I was 7lb 6 born.
There are probably other causes, which I am looking Autism affects different people different ways.
It may depend on the of Autism or and the person
within themselves. Even two people with Same
problems as odd as it sounds do not always face
the difficulties and strengths. Except the unexpected.
Sure may know this but people disabilities so have
strengths etc, as they was a time when society people
with disabilities having all weaknesses no strengths.
We have strengths and weaknesses in different ways
like other like other people but naturally not the same
to one another. Try support people through their
difficulties but take interest in what they are
good at well, to encourage them to see that
life is worth living in the positive way they have,
and no one can do everything.
I guess what the world trying to understand is,
what causes Autism and many hidden disabilities and more.
If. I am right most people with Autism,
find it hard to explain what they are trying to tell
people, which part communicating, people
with Autism can struggle, it can affect us socially.
We can lack communication and understanding.
There can be misunderstandings between us and others.
It can make us feel as if we haven’t
got any control over our lives, we have or haven’t.
If we don’t have a great of choice and
control over our lives, this does not help
us to be independent, yet support is not always
around when we need it, needs to balanced.
We may struggle with managing money but
support for most of us is very little support
with home ,benefits etc.
Not sure what it is like by you but services are few
and far in between in West Midlands
or and Wolverhampton., funding seems
to be cut a lot for Autism and other services
for vulnerable people, children and adults.
in some or and all walks of life.
We May spend a lot of time alone.
We may find it hard to understand
people’s feelings and thoughts but
the person may over come the
older they get.
We may behave in a strange manner
others may find odd.
We may find it had to make friends.
We may have poor eye contact.
Level 2 difficulty with basic living skills,
money, shopping, home skills, study, work,
traveling and more, they need support in those areas.
Traveling,
Level three is outside difficulties and support ,
for example getting themselves out and
about but in some cases may have strengths
as well as weaknesses where they may know
their way round locally to them but not far a
away from them, mainly if it is somewhere
they have not been before but this may vary.
However’ it may be if they go somewhere not
necessary every day but regularly they may
pick it up, it may take some people longer than others.
My experience with the outside world is it been
overwhelming and crowded with people and places
where there no one to ask for help if I need it,
mainly in airports for example. Airports can be
very busy. Information find where your gate to your
plane flashes on and off far too quickly.
This cause people a lot of Anxiety, where
they could miss important information.
Where they may struggle to get to where
they are going whether it is going or
coming back from somewhere.
Little support is still given airports
and on the plane well but it has
improved to what it was but
we still have a long way to go.
Not many people with disabilities
drive, me included.
Most of us are having to rely on
public transport.
Not everyone like me is lucky to
be bus independent but there
only a limit of places I can go.
Some people need support with money.
Night time seems to be a dangerous time
as support workers do not work at night
and we should not except them to either.
With Autism there are two forms or used to be
( ASD) Autism Spectrum and Asperger Syndrome .
(AS).
Levels of Autism. ADS comes in three different levels,
Autism affects people can vary where they face
of these difficulties, one or just a few.
Level one struggles with communicating with
people which can vary to friends, family,
relationships even professionals in their lives
even all sorts of people.
Struggling to manage social skills, lack of
communication and understanding between
them and others where always the person
with Autism has misunderstood the other
person but the way round, which maybe in
some cases, which happen work, school,
college, home etc.
However’ people with disabilities should
have rights to choices as much as anyone,
even though some are one of the lucky ones
like me but that does not mean
do not look out for others.
However if you are commenting on be half of someone,
make sure have their permission,
if they say no or say one or the other do
not-comment on their behalf. In the west Midlands,
the disabled people have three disabled bus passes
and we can travel by rail, bus and tram around the
West Midland but no further.
I am sure how pension bus passes work.
In the week we can travel three from half past night,
Saturday all day, not sure about other parts of the
UK though. It is not possible to suit everyone's needs
but accessibly needs to improve,
the only way to learn that is find out
from those who face the difficulties.
This is example other things too such
as most shops that self service,
cash machines etc most people
may struggle. We understand privacy,
such as naturally
PIN numbers etc are private but not
everyone can manage everything on there.
This is not only difficult for me but for others too,
mainly those similar to me. For example;
woke up to find on the news,
if I have not misunderstood about all if not most railway ticket offices are closing.
The change will be if I am right ordering our tickets online,
where not everyone knows how,
mainly vunable people such as the
disabled and elderly people.
It's understandable that there
cannot be IT courses in everything
no one knows completely everything IT,
however' I understand there maybe some
positives as well negative the change
where most people face positives and
negatives, other may say one or the other,
feel free to tell your views, experience etc,
which may you or and someone you support,
care for etc.
