Well THANK GOD! For this! You might be astounded by
the seeming difference between this girl's outward
appearance and the intelligence she expresses if you
watch this. When I worked full time I specialised in
Autism. People should know that AUTISM IS NOT A
LEARNING DISABILITY!. Another vital point I've
often needed 2 explain is that most people with Autism
have SENSORY ISSUES including very heightened or
lowered sensitivity or 'synaesthesia'.
Autism is not being classed as a Learning Disability
making it really difficult to access help and services! Glad
you mentioned that. It’s a massive problem. Even though
it’s technically not a 'learning disability' in and of itself, it
obviously makes learning difficult, if that makes sense?

I miss the 80s so much I have decided to have an 80s party
for my 40th Birthday. (should give me JUST about
enough time to organise it with my 40th being in 2014)
and I shall wear ludicrous eyeshadow and a batwing
jumper and do FAME style split jumps and carry vinyl’s
and have neon lighting and I shan't care

I have my nephews for dinner every Monday night and
always try to make sure they learn something from the
experience. Tonight they will be learning how to get
Chinese Take Away.
