SHARING SATURDAY
Hello again, I am a little later posting my blog, as many other things have rather overtaken my time today.
But I am now ready & excited to show you my big share for this week.
I am very proud to introduce a very special blogger,
my 16 year old daughter with you all today.
The Perks Of Being Me
Disney, My Little Pony, Aspergers
http://theperksofbeingme-x.blogspot.co.uk/
She has been writing her blog for almost 2 years now & has published over 150 posts & has received 39,500 views to date.
It has been a truely magical way for my daughter to showcase her passions, interests, talents & creativity.
In October 2013, five years after many difficulties began to develop surrounding her general health & eventual school refusal, a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) & Chronic Fatigue symptoms was given.
This means she struggles daily with socialising, sensory overload leading to frequent & intense meltdowns, controlling her emotions from high to low in minutes, anxiety, depression, relaxing for sleep & also difficulties being able to understand others needs & rules. Sudden excitment or suprises, including unexpected visitors to the house or gifts she hasn't chosen herself create so much anxiety that she experiences almost instant meltdowns. Unable to attend school anymore she is in her final year & is hoping to achieve 3 GCSE's in English, Maths & Cope.
Her dream is to one day work for Disney.
She is a self learner & has taught herself how to do lots of amazing things to create her beautiful blog site.
Disney is her special place, which she calls home.
A magical world of sidekick characters & cute animals, beautiful princesses & tiaras, magical music & fireworks, fantasy & fun, love & belonging.
She is finding her voice through creative writing about her loves, Disney, My Little Pony & Sims, a virtual reality computer game.
These three interests are my daughters focus during her days & nights. She has explained that she uses them as educational tools that help her to develop many social skills by listening & remembering the stories & the conversations of the characters.
Please take a look at her blog, as I think it is really great & as a family we are so proud of her continuing achievements on her site.
In some posts she also speaks about her own personal journey of embracing & accepting her high functioning autism & how the diagnosis has helped her remove the mask, that she had no idea she had created when trying so hard to fit in with her peers for many years.
She is now more comfortable with herself & her interests.
We as a family are also re-learning, more accepting, forever supporting, lovingly caring, always encouraging & proudly loving all of the special qualities & passions that she shares with us.
I also have some exciting news as about 2 weeks ago I created my own personal blog facebook page called
~ Autism through Collage Connection~
https://www.facebook.com/collageconnection45
Please check it out & like, share as I am hoping to continue to highlight autism awareness & acceptance.
I have found my interest, my passion & I am being very brave & pushing myself to follow my dreams too.
Thank you for reading my blog post today.
Until next time, take care.
