Autism and Covid

I go back to autism. I am tied to my autistic thoughts which have nothing to do with normal thoughts on what is happening around Covid.

A normal thought pattern would be living with the information and finding an acceptance on it for what it is, moving on from our original thinking once the shock has worn off. With an autistic brain that doesn’t happen. Autism affects how I function. It is the reason I deal with anxiety.

Autism interferes with my ability to think rational thoughts, it interferes with my cognitive skills and communication, in other words being able to rationale, so that I can come to terms with most or all situations in a way that allows me to move on.

Living with the pandemic I find it difficult to function ‘normally.’ There are days when I think I’m okay and then it hits me. It’s usually something I hear about the virus that makes me feel anxious again. How it has been handled by the UK Government doesn’t help. No matter how many times I try to shut the virus out, I still have autism to deal with. Covid and Autism just don’t work together.

On another note, a personal trainer friend who had Covid has only been able to go for a short walk just the once this week due to continued shortness of breath and exhaustion over Christmas.

I was also told by her that an otherwise fit and healthy 50 year old died from Covid over Christmas. Please don’t underestimate how deadly this virus is. Anyone can catch it, anyone can die from it.

Snacking after a busy day of therapy!! It has been a great lull in life to just sit and have a cup of grain free oatmeal. Quarantine took a toll on this one. He became so anxious and self harming. It was absolutely heart breaking. He is why I started my business in energy healing. I saw what Reiki did for him. I saw how it calmed his anxiety, helped him to say his first two syllable word!!!! And many other things. Reiki, Quantum Reiki, Energy healing as a whole, helped us immensely!! If this story sounds familiar give it a like.

Autism Wearing Masks (DO YOU NEED TO?😷) Autism Wearing Masks on public transport, what you need to know🤷 !! As we come to the easing of the coronavirus lockdown there are new rules and regulations in place that askers to wear facemasks when on public transport🚕 and in some public areas. The rules are very easily laid out for the general public of a neuro typical condition which is they have to wear masks to abide by the current guidelines 📝from the government when on public transport. But working with the health secretary and autism charities in the UK there is now an acceptance for people on the autism spectrum to not🙅 have to wear a face mask on public transport if this causes sensory issues that could cause overload and meltdowns. I think this is a good thing that they are thinking about people who are neuro diverse but at the same time I personally choose to wear a mask outside because I am also very nervous about catching the virus and spreading it to my family👪. TIPS FOR GOING OUT WITH MASK 😷 -Get a cool design mask -Try different fabrics -Include the mask in your routines TIPS FOR GOING OUT WITH NO MASK🙂 - Wear gloves - Do not touch your face or eyes - Wash hands for 20 mins - Keep your 2 meter social distance at all times - Avoid public places I’m discussing all this and some helpful tips in my video YouTube 💚make sure you see the full video. #autismandcovid19 #autismmasks #covid19 #wales #uk #autism #aspergers #wearingmask (at Holy Island, Anglesey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbobgVh1VA/?igshid=1p9w95dsw30i1

MASKS are actually horrid! Obviously I'm fully aware of why they are needed especially when it comes to public transport (which I've started getting today to get use to people again 😂). But they are just awful. The material is just gross and also it just feels sweaty from breathing 😫 It's weird also that being away from people for 3-4 months has really made every heightened also 😭 But I do think the masks brings out my eyes abit more though... So every cloud and all that 🌤️ #mask #masks #autismandcovid19 https://www.instagram.com/p/CByPXgyB9eN/?igshid=6tz4gcaaoz81
