We hear so much about autistic people and special interests and so many people have them and enjoy them, but we never hear about people who can't afford them, what do they do?
I can't afford mine, I love early medieval history and things associated with it, such as archeology, but I can't afford it, I could easily spend £3-400 on books every month, many of the books I'd like are out of print or in limited print runs and cost between £80 and £200, I've looked online and many are as expensive as ebooks as they are print editions, if they exist as ebooks at all. Many journals are expensive too and online resourses are too and many are really aimed at organisations such as universities rather than private people.
It's frustrating to have an interest that I find so consuming, but can't afford to follow or find others to even talk about it with, but then how many people know the Anglo-Saxon conversion period even existed, let alone know anything about it?
Thankfully just about, but who knows after my upcoming PIP lol or not.
Let me explain one of my interests. I like filming in nature as well and have a videocamera and youtube channel to share the videos. I also like to treat myself some theatre at times/cinema. I just saw Garfield the other day.
I went into specialised inpatient for one of my comorb conditions at 21. I had odemea which I found distressing and an OT did a aromatherapy massage on me using essential oils. It really worked for me. I got up several times in the night to pass fluid. This really helped with my feelings of distress. This continued for me in further with getting OT massages with essential oils. I did a summer course as well and started buying on offer to help try and rest more. I was trying to manage health issues in an alternative way as well. Sometimes I go just too far and the oils can make feel quite unwell as they can be too strong. I have an aromatherapy burner. Amazon is easy to order from as well. I feel quite hypontised when I use Frankinese Chamomile Blue and Lavender at night in a burner. I kept some to promote well being, but I have streamlined buying oils today. Sometimes I just cannot bare being touched as well by anyone.
Just got quite a large delivery from Holland and Barrett. Really good deals. Free delivery. Further twenty percent .off it was and some of there standard sale
