what makes me feel overwhelmed

 

              A challenge that I have had with autism is getting overwhelmed in this post I will discuss the main causes of this for me. The first subject that would make me feel overwhelmed is being in a crowded, unfamiliar or cramped environment a few examples of these are public areas such as malls, or large public events. The reason why these overwhelm me is because of the environment constantly changing whether it would be the lighting or due to the many different sounds, smells or crowds of people. A few examples of this would be the smells from food courts or people not paying attention and walking right towards me in a mall, or in other cases the lighting changing unpredictably at a certain areas. The next thing that causes me to feel overwhelmed is being in an area with loud, or high pitch sounds, a great example of this would be pipe organ or opera concerts. The reason why these bother me is due to the fact that I have had to deal with a life long migraine which had an effect on my ability to hear and because of this the sounds would cause me pain that could only be best described as spiderman ripping off the symbiote suit in the Sam Raimi trilogy. The last thing that causes me to feel overwhelmed is being in a environment where the lighting is constantly changing. The reason why this bothers me is probably because of the migraine that also had affected my ability to see causing me to be in even worse pain. In conclusion the main subjects that cause me to feel overwhelmed are loud, crowded environments and areas that have inconsistent lighting because of a lifelong headache and also due to the fact that the environment is constantly changing in an unpredictable manner.

the importance of being straightforward when speaking

                        In a previous post of mine I spoke about the importance of concise speech in this post I will explain why I value being straight forward when I speak. The main reason why I find straight forward communication important is because I take things very literally especially when it comes down to the very small details of how a person communicates with me. The next reason why I value straight forward communication is due to the fact that I have a difficult time with recognizing an individuals tone of voice which makes challenging for me to understand what message a person is trying to convey to me and same is said about social cues or body language. In conclusion the reason why I value straightforward communication is due to the fact that I have a difficult time with understanding what an individual is trying to discuss with me, the fact that i have a difficult time with recognizing social cues.

How I See People

                In my previous post I briefly discussed people and their part in how I see the world in this post I will describe how do I see people and why do I see them this way. The way that I see people is like I said before in my previous post titled "How I See The World" is that they are unpredictable and they could say or do any number of things whether it would be good or bad. Now normally in most circumstances I see people just as well people no color, no religion and not any different about them from me, and the reason why is due to the fact that people could have many differences on the outside but I still see them as a person regardless of their beliefs and their looks. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said "I live to see a day where we are not judged by our color or creed but by our character" that phrase is what I live by and what I use to help me see people as such. Therefore the way that I see people is as individuals that are ...
