Deblegs Report post Posted January 21, 2006 On Friday morning I went out with my Support Worker. along with my typed up Social story, to look at a few cars. We went to 3 garages. My Social Story helped me to ask the relevent questions. I saw one car that I liked and am going back to one of the garages again to look at a few more. If it wasn't for my Social Story I would not have coped. If I have too much to think about I suffer from information overload. From Debbie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bookwyrm Report post Posted January 23, 2006 Buying a car is something I have on my list of things I can't possibly do. The way you are being helped sounds absolutely fantastic. Maybe a diagnosis would be useful. But as talking to someone about my problems is also on my I can't possibly do that list, I would need the help first Never mind, I will just keep blowing the tyres up on my Mum's car every other day and climbing in through the boot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A diagnosis would be useful because it is a passprt to gain access to services. From Debbie Hudson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
