What have you achieved recently??

What have you achieved lately? List whatever you like, big or small…

I haven’t achieved much sadly. I was on a bit of a downer these last few months as Snowflake, my cat, died suddenly. As she was literally my only friend losing her has hit harder than I imagined it would.

Anyway, one thing I’ve achieved is that every Saturday I’ve been going in to town and having a hot chocolate in the coffee shop. This is huge for me. I always feel anxious and part of me says ‘Are you nuts!?’ but I make myself do it and generally I feel OK when in there and enjoy it.
The coffee shop has been doing an Autistic Morning every Saturday, like our local Morrisons where they dim the lights and don’t play any music so autistic customers don’t get overwhelmed. If they hadn’t done this I wouldn’t have stopped for a hot chocolate the first time.

Definitely a big achievement for me!

  • i went to london for the 2nd time on monday. but this was the first time i had gone by myself. i got on the train and travelled by myself and spent a considerable 3 hours by myself on the underground and walking around, before my friends picked me up and we went to our hotel. i then went to see the wrestling where we had vip rampwalk tickets and i met up with one of my best friends for the first time. the next day i then spent some time wandering around before getting the train back up north. i had a great time

    then i went back to work on wednesday and i coped well

  • That's brilliant, Riz. Especially doing it by yourself!
