Rebecca's Blogs

From the very beginning communication fascinated Rebecca, and she almost immediately began practicing all of the vocal sounds she would hear. Eventually she was able to say discernible words at the typical milestone age, and by around three years old she gradually reached a level where she was able to ask simple but properly structured sentences.

Autism is widely heard of in this current age. Though Rebecca constantly receives much interest about her three lesser known diagnoses. Yes, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a familiar household name; however it’s actual meaning and characteristics that come along with it are in truth much less understood   

Due to my autism I naturally find change very difficult. Unexpected changes can leave me anxious so routine has always been a comfort to me, however despite feeling content with repetition, I do still become bored with it.

 

We’re overloaded with so much in life that by adulthood finding our true interests and passions can seem much like trying to find a needle in a haystack. So how can we find where our true passions lie?

Whenever something unexpected occurs which leaves me with no other choice than to change my timetable, I experience extreme anxiety and often have a meltdown as a result. In addition to having autism I also have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which multiplies those challenges by two.
