I know this is my fourth blog of the month. Which shows that i have a lot of free time, that wasn't planned but work has been lax so i have done my hours which meant waiting for emails mainly. So I have a lot of time to plan things. Training has been odd as I'm racing in about a week's time, more about that later, so I have done sets which meant I couldn't push it too much in case of injury.
So anyway my third assignment came back was another PASS in this case just, i just passed because I put too much detail in my work. I don't quite understand how you do that I was told to describe... so I did a lot. I had to make a plan so did, I had to follow the plan so I did and use statistics in my assignment so I did. I swear part of the marking scheme doesn't account for autistic people taking things absolutely literally. I think it's about 1 in 80 ish people are autistic and that is rising steadily. So is there a 1000 people studying that's at least 20 people who are autistic, I know we are a minority but as soon as the statistics go to 1 in 55 to 1in 50 then something should be in place by then. It was 1 in 100 in some places across the world 5 years ago now in the same places it's anywhere between 1 in 65 to 1 in 80 so I hope places in education understand that educating someone with autism is a bit different then most methods, so guides go out the window because we know somethings but if we haven't been told to put them in then why should we. Most things we see are thought with logical reasoning behind it. Although in have somewhere I don't how reasonable it is.
I am racing next week (Saturday 2 June) in Nottingham it's going to be mixed groups so it should be fun. I don't really have much to say about it I have my friend helping me not panic so I just got to breathe, not launch and hope that I really don't panic. I really have much to say there will be a piece on here about it after I am back home.
Anyway I am going to start a little mini series about different things about autism so this will be:
1- Why autism is around- from an autistics point of view.
2- The cure argument- because it is just so funny.
3- Friends
4- Not human- another autistic argument
and because I have the number 4 ...
5- gender and sexuality
These are either going to be from my own views or from a general number of people who have autism so please don't get offended by anything or think any of this isn't coming from sensitive or private place. Hopefully this should give any neurotypical a view from some people who have autism.
Catch up with life and a few changes
