how occupational therapy helped me



             In my previous post I briefly discussed how occupational therapy helped me in this post I will be going into further detail on how it did just that. The first thing that occupational therapy did was expose me to different sound frequencies through a form of music therapy called listening therapy  which helped by getting me used to those different sounds so that I don't get overwhelmed by them. The next thing that it did was that it helped me learn to manage my stress levels or as they described it "my engine" and the way that this had helped was by allowing me to know when I am feeling overwhelmed so that I could tell my parents or a trusted loved one that I need pressure, which I have explained in an old post of mine titled "how I don't get overwhelmed". The last thing that occupational therapy did was identify my lifelong Migraine that I had, which also I discussed in another old post of mine titled "The Challenges I Had While Growing Up With Autism" by taking action to get rid of this migraine I was then able to progress further in my development as a person and I was finally able to speak without issue. In conclusion the way that occupational therapy had helped me was by exposing me to different sounds through listening therapy, teaching me simple stress management skills and by taking care of a lifelong migraine which helped me further my growth and development as a person.

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 ...
