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.

More on Autism
a health professional, my family have learned
what I have faced and what I have been through
with my problems, strengths as well weaknesses,
reading book, films etc on Autism etc.
In some ways people with LD are their
own health professionals in many ways
of every day lives because
we have to live with the problems.
Dyslexia can also link to Autism
so what is the difference between Dyslexia and Dyspraxia?
They are so similar it is hard to whether
you can have both or not but then there
is an easy way to work it out.
Dyslexia is all to do with reading and
writing but before I go on, never say a person
can’t read and write when they dyslexia,
that is not so to put politely, we just face
difficulties with reading, writing along
the way, for example; mixing up bs and
d.s., spelling words, writing numbers
the wrong way round, 23, 32, bad, dad.
Dyspraxia can be similar but with more added on,
such as untidy handwriting,
Pressing too hard on pens and pencils,
struggling to grip. Dyspraxia affects
every day skills mentally as well as
physically whereas Dyspraxia doesn’t affect
a person physically only mentally.
However’ both have positives in creative ways,
which people are talented in different ways.
Therefore, how did (ASD) and (AS) come
about in the first place?
(AS) was discovered by Han Asperger in
1944.He was doing studies in Autism with
Lora Wing 1981, me and family knew nothing,
I was eleven years of age. He gave he gave
the development condition a form of
Asperger Syndrome. en.n.Wikipedia.org
History of Asperger Syndrome.

Since then support has come in place but we still have a long way to go.
More than fifty years ago, Leo Kenner
described his his Autistic syndrome but
a German psychiatrist named Eurgen Bleuler
described the most severe cases of child hood Autism as Schizophrenia.

Leo classed Autism as a pattern of ad normal behavior
back in 1943.
DR Jean Marc Gasped Iraq was a French physician.
She discovered a boy who was afraid and neglected
in a forest.
He could not speak, he was deaf and he
rocked a lot. This was in the 1800s.
There were famous writers who had autism
such as Hans Christian Anderson children’s
writer , Lewis Carol children ‘s writer
Charles Darwin naturalist and geologist,
Emily Dickinson poet, Albert Einstein scientist and mathematician, Thomas Jettison Politician.
Research famous people with disabilities and other
problems for example;
Han Christian Anderson was
born in Denmark 2nd April 1805.
His Father was a shoe maker and him
Mother was a housewife.
He was an only child, had great imagination
with his toys and he was a great
children’s’ fairly tale writer.
AS) Level one or (ADs) may struggle to understand
rules of socializing, friendship etc.
We may struggle to express empathy
towards others.
Research says that children for example;
tend to take things literacy like such saying
as break a leg,which sayings like that can
throw people all ages but not always
the case depending on the person,
problems etc which can vary from person to person.
They may not be aware for example;
someone or group of peoples’
chat where they could bring in a
different subject into the chat which
could make them misunderstood but
other people may not realize that and think
they are inter fearing on purpose.
They come into the chat invited without
thinking to find out if they are welcome
or not but on the whole it would be untenstionly,
which take a while to realize or understand
others if they make us aware.
It is understandable that others may misunderstand us and we should not except to be treated any different to anyone mainly when people do not us, we should not except special treatment or anything but Autism awareness should carry on being raised all the same.
They may have one topic that really interest them, not necessarily topic but they talk a lot about hobby, pop star for example; none stop without realizing others want to talk about other things too. Positive’s about Autism.
Autism can be creative, talented, even poetic, in different people in ways. We can express good and bad in creatively and life around us, writing, drawing, coloring, painting, how we think, feel etc.
