I’m writing this for myself as much as anything else. But it may be interesting/helpful to others too. Really quick fire, letting it flow. (Stay focused). I don’t think it’s always easy to write/talk about being dyspraxic, dyslexic/having ADHD but it’s something that I hugely embrace more these days – and really enjoying doing so. I have referred to it at times on social media & spoke about it a bit in person but it isn’t always easy. It can be a dilemma – people can judge – but this who I am. It is difficult in terms of when to let people know – I think most people do know – I am more at a point where I am like yeah I’m on the spectrum & it’s brilliant. I mean that in a positive way – as in like well take/leave me – I find this is more practical. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that this is a perfect approach, but it works for me. As much as I’m really confident these days – I still find the ‘simple’ things difficult. And yet I am brilliant with numbers, very empathetic, have emotional intelligence & can speak Spanish – as well as being to read, write, listen & translate in a foreign language at a high level. I am writing this in a fantastic mood by the way – I went to a wedding last night – and I am off the back off doing lots of walking today. But sometimes my moods can swing – but I am trying to work on it – I’m mostly an upbeat person. I’ve been thinking about writing something about being on the spectrum. This is partly as there is still ignorance & a lack of understanding out there about learning disabilities, but I am glad to say I think there is lots of positive stuff out there too (especially on Insta). Basically focus can be difficult for me, but I have found that my focus comes in bursts, and that is when I absolutely be more productive. I find walking useful, I have absolutely noticed how much more focused I am after a big walk or doing some sort of exercise. I also find personally that I am not always brilliant in crowded areas/fast paced environments but at the same time I like being in them sometimes. (Perhaps it’s a paradox to sound fancy!). Wrapping this up, keeping it pure. I’m in a fantastic place. The world needs more neurodiversity!
