Anxiety has kinda left the building

Last night I posted about being anxious about finding out about what my final project would intail and I was silly to be nervous as everything in todays lecture covered all the points. 

For a start I'm the only one out of the radio students that is taking a radio drama. Part of me thinks I should do one about an asperger's girl but my main idea is a light hearted romantic comedy set in London. 

I also have additional support from one lecturer who is seeing me tomorrow... so I can put questions to her that I wouldn't have thought of in the lecture today and also on the radio tomorrow. 
Tonight there is rest for the wicked (that being me) as I am going to a screening ... waiting for my mum to come and join me. 
When i'm stressed I crave full fat hot chocolates ... I'm a girl thats all I'll say. 

Had a catch up with my friend from university , which reminds me I am going to post something about friendships as I gind it difficult to make friends and also keep them for too long. I'll ask my main friends if I can use their piccys and introduce them to you ;). Also about facebook and the dangers that might have as an online friend might not be a real friend in real life? 

I know I haven't been posting a lot lately but I am going to try. Thank you for staying with my blog :).

When The Mask Slips Off

Image
It can be difficult in Social Situations to engage and interact with the people you work, socialise and live with.  Many of us use the technique of Masking, which in a sense is copying 'Normal" behaviour but in social situations if the trusty mask slips it can be the most awkward thing in the world and misread by your friends, work colleagues and even to some degree family.  We've all seen many TV programmes now integrating Autistic Characters into their dramas and comedies with the most popular  being Sheldon off The Big Bang Theory, but as per usual there hasn't been a development of Autistic girls in TV programmes due to the lack of awareness and also because when it comes to performing extreme autistic characteristics in forms of behaviour there is a lot more documentation on Males with Aspergers and Autism in general.  Which in a way is ironic, but aside from this Masking is something that I sometimes feel girls do more effectively ...

The Meltdown Confession

Image
All Aspergers Girls and Boys at some point will have a meltdown!  For those who are confused to what a 'Meltdown' means, it basically is a massive release of anxiety or frustration which can turn violent in many circumstances and for loved ones can be a traumatic experience to see their autistic child/partner lose themselves in a meltdown.  It isn't pretty and it can be frightening for anyone involved including yourself, I hate to say this but when it all gets to much we all fall into the Meltdown cycle.  Depending on how stressful life is at the moment, pressure with exams and other things such as work commitments, family life, grief and other normal daily stresses can pile up on you and make you flip that switch in your head.  It is important to see the signs as usually Meltdowns come from Anxiety or Frustration which manifests itself over time. It can be days, weeks or months worth of anxiety that you think you are managing that can sudden...

#Survival Guide: PMT, Hormones and Periods - Aspergers Girls Worse Enemy!

Image
It's no secret that we all have Periods, apparently it's the 'most natural thing in the world' a girl can experience and is a symbol of finally becoming a woman!  What they don't tell you in your handy health class is that your boobs feel like the size of bowling balls and are sensitive or tender, your stomach feels like it's in a vice and your back constantly aches, Bloating and feeling Fatter than normal and if all that wasn't bad enough prepare yourself for crying at any given time, feeling depressed and moody and just generally craving anything sweet, deep fried or covered in loads of chocolate.  Periods are somewhat a taboo subject even now in the 21st century, it's something to do with the fact that people really don't want to understand or even acknowledge that blood comes from the intimate area of your body every single month with or without warning.  The best representation of what a period can do to you! They arrive with th...
