I’m trying to work really hard role modeling my staff! Not listening to reason must be my anthem! My friends must not be too upset! My starting to laugh too loud gives them time off their tasks! That makes everyone fun to work with! Mostly for me! It’s really fun how my staff works with everyone!
Life Has Many Ups And Downs
Life is always difficult to understand! You never can predict what will happen from day to day! I wish it would be more predictable! I really enjoy the adventure but would like more predictability! I also know we cannot experience joy and happiness without knowing sadness. Life’s ups and downs make it worth living!
You’re Excited About Going To Green Bay!
I’m longing to move to Green Bay! Real possibilities exist in Green Bay! People are nice and not too worried! People try lots of things to get you to move! You’re not looking, you’re planning! Planning to move. You long to move. Green Bay rocks! You’re trying to get your Mother to agree! You’re tired of being dependent! Many people with autism want the same things everyone wants! You want to be independent!
We Need More Love In The World
Our world is a scary place today! We are seeing killings and violence every where! People having verbal arguments about even what the cause is for the violence! The cause to me is very simple: hate! We need to start loving each other more! Love conquers all! Let’s start today!
I Am Living The Dream!
Life has been great lately! I am being included in a lot of wonderful things! I participated in a transitional workshop! Then the following week I had my speech read by my cousin at the Giant Steps auction. I am on a roll that I hope never ends!
My Speech!
I wrote the keynote speech for the Giant Steps auction! People really liked it! Giant Steps made money! They thought my speech was wonderful! No one talked during the speech! Both the emcee and the auctioneer had misty eyes! Many had actually been crying! My table cried too! More times than you can count people complimented my speech! It was the best night of my life!
I Am Ready To Grow!
i have come a little long way the last couple of years! I have a hard time remembering what my life was like before RPM! I struggled to get my needs met! I did not know how to communicate! I struggled in every way! I now can let people know what is on my mind! Let’s grow together!
I Had A Great Time At My Graduation Party!
I had a graduation party on March 5! It was a wonderful occasion for me! I had many friends and family there! The place was beautiful, the food was great, and the company was even better! I felt very special! I loved every part about it! I just wish I had more time to thank my guests! I also hope for the day when all with autism can experience what I did at my party! I know that too many have no voice and they need a voice! I look forward to the day that occurs!
Please Be Patient With Those With Autism
It is hard for those of us with autism to be always at our best! We have trouble with being able to motivate ourselves when our minds and bodies are not in sync with each other! We also have difficulty conforming to others standards! I try to please everyone, but sometimes I let people down! We sometimes are thought to be resistant and difficult , but no one knows how hard it can be to get our minds and bodies to work together! Please be patient and understanding with those of us with autism and do not give up on us!
