Reactivly being proactive and learning to cope.

What do you do when kayos rains, emergencies crop up and all havac is set loose within the close confines of life as you know it?.And this all within the first five minutes of the childrens getting home from school?

The mix of  High Functioning Autistcs with others - both on  or off the spectrum  makes learning to cope as a way of life.  It has to be.  You have two choices: Controlling the situation as it unfolds or control your reactions to the situation as it unfolds.

 Either is a miracle waiting to happen.  Ever wondered why this particular miracle takes so many practice runs?
As a member of a family that has many generations of people "Living on the Autism Spectium Disorder" scale of things we honestly thought that the way of doing things were 'normal'.  Some were messy others were neat freaks. Yet all were wonderfully creative and exhaustive on the run.

This of course made actvities, games and even cleaning of rooms just the aftermarth of the daily life interesting to say the least.

Check the page here out  as there is a mine of information on the pages behind each link.
Would love your feed back on the general Facebook feedback group.  More specifically through The Living with High Functioning Autism Facebook Group

One of the most important things I found was a great relief when finally someone recognised what was happening within our lives. Sat down and explained the things....  Suddenly so many things started to make sense.  Next came write it out... keep a journal. And along came computers at the end of this time for us.

Somewhere in amoungst all this there were no focus groups.  Little knowledge was being released.  hence the links being added in that link.

 Even worse was taking the family or myself somewhere where they or I felt like a rat in a cage as someone in a coat tried to ask questions while contaning us all.[ 4 children and myself] in one small room and expecting silence to be present!   The resource page links are there enabling you to be better informed than I was able to be.  

Try writing a list of questions out before hand.  Leave your email on the list and simply request that if things get too bad please email you with the confirmation of the answers - that way you can all gain maximium benefit.
