So I had an Occupational Health appointment this week. The referral was made back in February when I was having a few panic attacks. My workplace wanted to refer me and I had mixed feelings.

Why I’ve not been blogging?

April 14, 2017 ~ autiwomandifferentbox ~ 5 Comments

My writing in the past few months has been sporadic though that reflects how my life is right now. I've been very busy with work. Long story short the year 11 drama students have had many different teachers so I've been helping out a lot making sure they are performance ready. A lot of people … Continue reading Why I’ve not been blogging?

March 19, 2017 ~ autiwomandifferentbox ~ Leave a comment

There are times when I feel like I'm not coping with my autism and I'm letting it control me. However, on reflection I am actually in more control of it then I give myself credit for.

Stuck in Fear

March 6, 2017 ~ autiwomandifferentbox ~ 2 Comments

I'm trapped by fear It grips my throat Taking away my breath I've been choked Left breathless I sit and think How can I stop it From making me sink Further down I plunge into the dark Without a light Not even a spark Nothing to help me See where I'm going I am lost … Continue reading Stuck in Fear

Autistic Quirks: Echolalia and Vocal stimming

February 22, 2017 ~ autiwomandifferentbox ~ Leave a comment

Here's another post to add to the mini series 'Autistic Quirks'. This one is going to be about echolalia and vocal stimming.

Why I hate the phone?

February 5, 2017 ~ autiwomandifferentbox ~ 3 Comments

As a child I was able to mask my weaker auditory processing skills (the process of brain interpreting sound). At school I just filled in the gaps when I didn't know what was said like copying what others were doing or looking at what I had in front of me. At home I just said … Continue reading Why I hate the phone?
