Interesting..
Sep. 10th, 2018 04:16 pmThe other day I was cleaning out my filing cabinet and came across high school papers for when the teachers and I met once a year to see how I was doing with autism..I found some interesting things to share lol
They said I had autism *and* a speech impairment?? I've never had one that I know of..strange
"[Heather] reportedly continues to initiate conversations in a very self-centered manner in which she 'wants to talk about what she wants to talk about' and does not engage well in reciprocal conversation"
Ouch! Haha wow. That definitely is a trait of autism, but I didn't think I was *that* bad in high school!
"Heather's pragmatic skills, however, are not age appropriate"
Apparently that means to deal with something in a sensible and realistic way. Now that I can believe, I'd cry and freak out over the smallest things haha
They said I had "superior Broad Reading academic skills for [my] age." Nice. :D I've always loved reading lol
A couple days ago I was in mom's room looking out the window to see if the Northern Lights were out (nope). I could feel stuff on the windowsill, and when I turned to leave I knocked off this ceramic candle holder thing right onto my big toe. Owwww ow ow OWW that was so painful!! I'm lucky my toe didn't get broken! There is a lovely bruise there though. :P Note to self: next time, move the stuff on the windowsill lol
In town there are transfer stations for people who live out of town to dump their trash..there are always people dumpster diving there, and yesterday a lady was pulling out food and putting it on her sled thing! That made me SO sad, and I really wanted to tell her to get into the car and go to Fred Meyer with me so I could get her some good food. I wish people didn't have to live like that :(
