I did yes. I found the forum purely by chance, and then because I said I was loving it, he decided to come and give it a go.

I took a huge step today and should be really happy, but instead I sobbed my heart out in the car on the way home from work because I feel really sad and am full of fear!

Well basically I work in a school with kids with additional needs. In 7yrs I've never gone on a proper school trip. Last time I was supposed to go I completely freaked and had to be swapped with another TA. It's the uncertainty and leaving what I know and what I'm comfortable with. However today I went on my first trip out supporting a child, and it sounds trivial but for me that was a huge step and massive achievement.
-
After 7 years - that is a huge step. Crying is probably the anxiety coming out which is a natural reaction after doing something that is really hard to face. Despite how you felt you did it and also helped a child. Think that deserves a 'Woo Hoo!!!' I think fear just goes with the territory- still get overwhelmed with fear and nerves any time I have to go somewhere that is unknown or unstructured and involves other people.

Thanks Starlight

I am in so much pain!!! I dread to think what I'm going to look like trying to walk round work tomorrow!!
-
I'm loving being a part of this forum
I've tried out loads of ASD forums but this is the best one I've found by far! -
OMG! a bat just flew into my bedroom and scared me half to death! Good job my step-dad was here to get it out for me!
-
Frustrated! Doing a sponsored walk and not sure how to drum up support. I don't have that many friends!
-
We've arrived in Thrapston - yay! I managed the drive really well and it really wasn't that bad. So excited to meet Elaine Nicholson tomorrow
-
Sensitive soul, just curious whose Elaine Nicholson?
-
Elaine is the founder and counsellor of the charity Action for Asperger's. She has helped me a lot, and a few weeks ago I did a sponsored walk to raise money for the charity, as a way of giving something back to her. I don't live anywhere near her, so today was the first time of meeting her in person. We'd spoken a lot on Skype beforehand - that's how she counsels me normally.

Just seen the floods in York, and hope Elaine Nicholson and everyone else involved with the Autistic Intelligence conference is ok!
-
Floods in York??? Didn't know about that! Bit close to home, that.

What a crappy day in A&E! Went and fell this morning and hurt my foot. Luckily no breaks, just some muscle damage. Got to dose up on painkillers.
-
I know how that feels - good luck with it!

Good weekend
Absolutely loved spending time with my gorgeous niece today. I absolutely love her to pieces - she's amazing!!-
They change so quickly at that age, don't they?
-
-
Sponsored walk mission accomplished!! Robert Mann and I walked all the way around Llyn Brenig despite the ###### weather conditions! Yay
-
Yay, indeed!

I have had a brilliant day! Sitting on the beach in the sun with a great friend was just perfect
The sun, sea and sand were so soothing and relaxing I could have been on holiday! -
Been feeling ok most of the day but the cold is now out in full force! Can't stop coughing and sneezing and it's driving me insane already! On the plus side had a great therapy session and a great chat with Elaine Nicholson on Skype, so despite the cold I actually feel quite happy
(its lasting so far Elaine - how good is that!)-
Hey, that's great about the session
. My sister phoned me and I didn't know it was her, her voice was so altered. Colds stink

I'm sick of pretending everything is fine, and of smiling and laughing on the outside when inside I feel like my world is falling apart!
-
It's probably best not to - I personally found it doesn't help at all to pretend everything is fine when it isn't.

Got a new sketchpad today - can't wait to do some new sketches
-
Are you good? Wish I could draw - I draw like a child, lol.

Is finally home after having a lovely day in Chester Zoo, but not so nice time breaking down on the A55 on the way home!
-
Love Chester Zoo!

Had the best afternoon ever! I now know I can look after a baby. I loved looking after my niece. We went for a walk, I played with her, I made up her bottles and fed her, I winded her, I changed her and I got her off to sleep. For someone whos not a mum,with no experience of looking after babies I reckon I did pretty good
-
Aww!
-
-
I'm forever sitting on my feet and giving myself pins and needles. Don't know why I do it, it's just that sitting on my feet feels comforting for some reason!
-
I do that on public transport, and then it's embarrassing when you can't stand up right.
-
-
Well that's me well and truly turned off from the XFactor - what a joke!!
-
Are you ever going to post on the forums again?
-
-
I'm so glad my mum is home and safe - I was so freaked out when I got home and no one was here. I somehow totally forgot she was in Bangor so would have been affected by the flooding. She was so stressed out when she got in - sounds like what she endured was pretty hellish. I really do feel for all the people affected by the floods!
-
The wind caved in my kitchen window - fixed now. I'll see it when home for xmas. 3 trees down on my street.
