Take me through the untapped talent pool please.

Yes, there is an untapped talent pool among the autistic adults. Lacking the social skills and communication abilities critical just to get past the initial interview screening process the workforce closes off from Autistic people.

However, there are places that have programs set aside especially for these on the Autism Spectrum.  As growth within their industry provides further enhancement to the established work balance more and more of this untapped talent pool of people are being sort.  These people have the ability these companies look for are happening.

How is this interview stage suiting the particular individuals communication issues?  First the interviewer justs flip the switch.  Instead of adding anxiety to an already stressful situation why not settle in at the interest level. Over time, different conceptual thinking patterns are brought out in play.  Detailed instructions resulting in leggo block creations.

  Allow comfortability.  Let them just 'play' around with the equipment. Watch as they become apart of that machines process.  Actually, they have probably left the interview way behind while focusing into the hum and energy of the activity.

The caring for the person does not just stop once hired.  The company believes in providing social worth.  Effectively creating a widening gap between change and meltdown occasions.  The result is a smoother transition with the idea of a soft landing amongst the work force.  Pretty impressive really. People from this previously untapped talent pool allowing the mentor and guides through their safety zones also have been known to become faithful employees.  Overcoming odds that most would just crumble under.

In all of my years, this is one of four places that have managed to accomplish the social worth feat.  Two were within my early teenage years.

The other is a community where the social worth beings within the first moments.  Now that that was given to me is being returned as an 'Autism As A Gift' campaign reaches in to the lives of people, communities and businesses.

To Say Sensible People Are The Normal One Is Ridiculous

As grandma used to say, "sensible people are status quo!  Is that a proper reason to be as they say?" Sensible people believe that creative people are leaders. That logical thinking people are leaders. The difference is the intrinsic lateral thinking method of leadership each individual person is capable of, needs to be brought out. Utilized and then magnified in order to obtain the needed results desired.

Think about this total focus. Is it a feature of, say 'sensible' people? 
Okay! Yesterday the completion of what is to be the very first PDF ever created, by me, was achieved. Once everything was in place, it only took a few pushes of a button.

Having seen many PDF's, downloaded them, read them and stored them away at times, the PDF idea seemed so complex.  In a way frightening. One more cost to be absorbed on a low income as I am working towards an alternative digital lifestyle.  And that takes time to achieve.

Over the last year, there has been one thing that kept intriguing me. Now what seemed like the possibility of writing an e-book - one day - may just becoming true.  Even today this idea has morphed once again. Becoming much more of a reality. The simple explanation is that through this community the examples of blogging were being explained. Seems strange and yet quite true. Members of this community share.  That sharing helps propel other members who are ready to gainground, and be moving forward. Which is quite amazing say, sensible people. In total disbelief these same people cast double and after a while they too have fallen by the wayside.

 How have the pieces fallen together?
 Having a brain injury in 1991 what had not actually been comprehended by myself was there are billions of people in the world.  That no two people are alike.  Definitely no two people on the Autism Spectrum anyway.  Therefore, the concept of different people approaching the same task just in a multitude of ways was known, seen and not comprehended nor connected to. Ignoring this was not the issue.

Understanding the concept of individuality and being art peace with who you actually are was the issue.

 When the invitation came to come into the community, I literally took everything I read to pieces. Analysed everything.  It's likely to say that sensible people would know not to do this.  Eighteen months, and two get together fantastic momentum days later what the community members have been patiently explaining has finally clicked.  Like pieces of an invisible jig saw slotting into place.

What was I being told to understand and then do

Be yourself. Write about your story.  Find who you are and write about that person view of this world.  The thing is that the truck impacting into the vehicle I was driving had taken away those memories of the first thirty-one years of ME [My Experiences]. Then there has been the next twenty-five years added to that void. A very unstable void that meant no solid foundation for grown was going to be stable once built upon.

There were unexpected sink holes all over the place.

Coming into the support business behind the community there were level options.  I chose the one that allowed me to find my ME. Thankfully through this training level chosen a group of us went through.

Taking the necessary time. Looking deep into our own selves.  That hurt.  Really hurt.  To analyse myself had been easy previously.  My me simply was falling through the sink holes in time.  There were thin layers covering layers.  To go deep and then deal with what was realised was fearful.  The result was like turning around and finding another you within you.  A stalking stranger that had been dogging your shadow in the mists of time.  One permanently attached sucking up your energy to feed itself.

I spoke about the 'want' that turned into  a 'need.' 
 Creating pictures.  Something all people can feel the textures of.  A few years ago the pictures that were in my dining room and being painted has multiple touch my surface textures.  Each was taking hundreds of hours to complete.  Then these canvases got given away.

Pictures are not meant to be handled say Sensible People

Textures within Life?  Was I nuts? What about within the digital pictures!

Even the description with the picture description box having as detailed explanation within as the people viewing the description either are blind and are wanting to experience the picture through your eyes.  It some cases the broadbands were not loading the picture very well is another reasom..  The person reading your post may want to reach out and click the description should they be intrigued in what lay behind the words.

Actually, the need that arose from the need to create different visuals started the reconnection.  Simply by taking a photo of myself in a bathroom mirror I was looking into the eyes of a very lost soul. My reflection.  Shortly after that came the realisation that I was 25 years older than I remembered me being.  Click the "Welcome home party was now going on in full  in full swing!"

With regards to analysing everything to find out the commonality of success.
Went into autistic meltdowns and overloads.  Nothing I was reading was written the same.  Therefore, how could you duplicate the success others were having? What was the use of focusing on the written word system blogging was creating..  Typically to say sensible people do not have an autistic focused activity coming through.maybe that were true.  However, one that ended up being useful was a strategy towards the creating of the Autism Network. This network is reaching out through the Autism communities the world over. Initially through the online networks.

 Knowing what it is to be lost within the world that is just there. Involves yet alone and moving past you at a fat rate is a speciality of mine.  How do I express this so that people can understand? Some of the criteriums were: Without causing direct pain. Must be viewable all over the broadbands. Must be short enough for people to time manage at a glimpse.  Still working on this aspect, though.

There were other things about the writing 
Yes as to be expected there are words out of place.  It'sd funny; looking back ion this as the OCD perfection part of me had always been let down through the inability to spell. Grammar came a second best in this area.

Being dyslexic has brought forward some challenges. Having a friend share with me the Grammarly app helped. When I saw what was in that application going bananas was easy to achieve. I purchased a pro version on the spot.  That purchase saves me wastage of time management opportunities.  Over-all yes there are millions of people all over the world who pop over to Grammarly and take advantage of the everyday one as a free one.  This I truely thought of doing as well.

Then I weighed the fact that the inconvenience of dyslexia had brought for me over the last fifty-five years.  Checked the bank account, gritted my teeth.  And thought "WoW the most productive and best-used thing every brought for my birthday' is using this app.  And hay loves the end effect as this has meant a sense of freedom. A nearly unsurpassed, unequalled freedom.

And then came the decision to make.  In or Out.  If in which level.  So the one that was the best level for me to choose at that me money in time camera forward..... fast.

Guess what one I chose!

Sincerely

Susan Lewis

genuine lack there

Parents of children who happen to live within the Autism, spectrum have a lot of communication extras to enrich their lives.  That is after all the frustrations and rapid learning procedures have been
taken on board.

Autism is a revolving door of communication frustrations.

On a personal level there was enough hassles within out highly autistic family.  General consensus is that having four children, and yeah parents with the same was like a fermenting beer about to explode with any little vibration.

Then  how much more frustrating is it to be approaching young adulthood and just have to get away from a situation before you scream.  Knowing that because of a genuine lack there was communication at school. Amongst your friends.  Yet, to have that communication removed and slide back into the depths of frustration...Anger will just be a constant companion.

As Mr O'Neil stated "it was a NO-Brainer".  A little generosity of spirit, clear thinking and would you believe it financing and there suddenly is one less boarded, angry, person on the streets.  And in the end probably less paperwork, time wasting and people management skills required.

That tablet is a behaviour pattern brake. Something that the community, family and the young person will have with them forever.

Effectively, the extended arm with a tablet as a bonus,  the similarity is as the Autistic Association Dog.  Both are the means through the invisible barriers of within Autism.

This is the takeaway to the link for you to read.

Lemon Balm Often bypassed and just thought of as a pesky weed

... check out the lemon balm again. Lemon balm is such a profuse herb that once it takes hold you literally have to keep cutting it back.  Often this went into the compost for recycling.  And often there was I wanting to do something else with it.

The calming effects have long been known in our family with so many members withing and on the Autism Spectrum.  Really does help to have it around for pests like mosquitoes as well.

While learning to adapt to new learning processes falling back onto and into methods of implementing what is being learned without stressing myself out over much, lemon balm around the

Lemon Balm Tea, bread and even in the cough  steamer

garden, in the home and in the food or refreshments is really helping.  may well place stress and some anxiety though this home guess who is including as much as I can the lemon balm within the juicing things.  Then of course what do you do with the extracts.  Make pancakes and other things with these ingredients included.

Actually looking forward to making a couple of loaves of home cooked bread this Friday [shopping day] . So will be taking photos and while at it totally enjoying myself  including leftovers for taste and effects. That also induces the beetroot pulp!

Having a few books and the internet is terrific when researching herbs.  Traditional uses of these herbs being adapted into today's need for quick efficiency, little wastage.

Lemon balm is such an easy plant to grow.  Ride over it, run aver it and even cut it down with the lawnmower.  It is still there.  When out children were young they had grown up knowing what plants and herbs they were allowed to eat.  Having found out their own levels of tolerance quite often these plants were found in cups as vases on the bedside table.  Which needless to say as all our children fell into the Autism Spectrum and into denial periods, just introducing the herbs which may, or may nt have a calming effect, including these as a natural part of daily survival life helped hold our family together.  primarily as they children dod not tell others what the plants were for.
.
A major touch and feel plant has now found a few other uses as well. Now when I use the machine to chop up the lemon balm before it goes into the juicer I can utilize the chopped leaves and the pulp into a cold drink through out the day.

Besides the effect of just walking inside having trimmed the lemon balm plant gives an uplifting, relaxing and memory enhancing whoosh of energy.  So much so that when combined with the Dani's meditation series  a major removal and dissipation of a mental blockage occurred.

Now all the pieces of how to make the most of the Autoresponder came right in and said hello we are here to stay.  This then enabled the one of the business subsections to be able to have an energy flow.
Talk about going with the flow in autistic temperament home!

And sometimes the words get mixed up and the wrong impression given out!

Sometimes creating a digital card and sending that card to the recipient could just mean you were acknowledging they were Here On Time!!

Other times that same H.O.T. could get the air around fairly sizzling with energy.  No matter Digital cards like this become quick and easier with practice.  Love the fact that each is unique  and the personality of the sender comes through.

Have you ever thought about the strange looks you get when coommunicating with others.  You know the little snickers and sometime the haudiuence nudging each other.  Other tims the open laughter.  And you just KNOW you have fallen head first into the slop of the languse used ince again.

Well, I certainly do.  Not only am I from another country  and the sounds from my mouth are other misheard by theose around me.  For instance when I say 'six' people hear' SEX'.  When I say 'pin' they wall reach for a' pan' or a 'Pen'.  Depending on the common accept that they are used to hearing.  One English from England and the other English for Australia.  Heaven for bid then if I am at a restruaranbk and all I want is a 'Fork!'  Now I use the words eating utensil.  As in  a full set of a knife,

spoon and... fill in the spaces yourself.

I am also Autistic.  There for the but of the joke is often lost on me.  Except that having gotten used to fifty five years of that situation if the body language is common  then I realise that I am the butt of their joke.  And that hurts.  Be that as it maybe.  Why let that affect the creativity that flows through?

You know yourself that the words and the intention behind the weords used can either make your day or tip the scales into the melt down or overload phase.


With that :>>>> Hit the Link <<<< that will take you through to a card I made.  Sent pit and the received a few strange omments from.  And all because t=I was saying someone was "Here On Time!"



have fun and enjoy

Try Not To Giggle Making A Smile Expression

When the smile is in hiding and you are near the glum point why not look for a smiles return



So here to a smile campaign release

it makes you glow

At times Autism is a very isolating invisible thing to have your world look out from.



There are times though when you let down you guard enough and are rewarded with heartfelt thanks and companionship. Usually from people you have known for a lang time.

The internet is a wonderful thing as so far there is no way for a hug to go through and physically touch you.

{{{{ HuGs}}}} are endearing. Just not physically there. Although there are the ones that get past all barriers. They touch the soul . make the child within come alive and carefully hold out their hands.

To the people brave enough to cross into that child within area. Thank you for making this world a beautiful place to be within and a part of.

Sincerely
