I to promise will not be to take you words for self gains and to do wrong to you words but to help guide of you and to help of you to find way to get of started to this. I to just get of word this day am of being nominated for outstanding individual with autism award at ASA. Will not be to know if to get this award but am of honored to be have one to nominate of me for this. Thanks much people say same words of me and to say it is what is of my quality of being that makes me the person they to be want to be with. I to be just being me so not have to work at this too much hard LOL I to just be to have to remember always to chose of my words much carefully other wise people to not get it and to think worng assumptions of my thinking or words to them. I to be to just say ofmy thinking too much but over time learn to keep the words locked behind my lips and not say of them for fear of to do it wrong. Silence is of good if you to learn how and when to use of it. Like IEP meetings, not good to tell one they are annoying you and you to not want thems words anymore because it is causing you agitations and want of to pinch them. Yet inside of self these words are shouting loud to me. I to sit on hands and ignore of the person complete as if they not exist LOL that is my way to not be of rude in words and thinking and yet to get them to be fo quiet to me. So some things learned to self adapt to and have my own internal rules for. that is one of them LOL.

I dod try to kindof initate other peoples ways of speaking. People in my church said I do very well when talking to others. Thats an encouragement but at the same time it is hard for me to stand there and look at the person's face. I think the biggest thing is I do ALOT of paudiing. when in fron of a crowd. My barely made it in my speech class because of alot of the. The research work was hard for me to. It was overwhelming. If I do it my way and write out my own outline then I proble ok. Other wise when you have a naggy speech instruct who deosnt understna dmy trouble with pausing or other isseus I may have because of autism I get to feeling dumd. Hey thats ok I tried LOL. Any way im going to take some of this GOOD advice you gave me and eveen write out a presentation and see how long I good stretch to speak at a certain length of time, because I would like to > speak more. > Sondra, even though you have a different way of speaking and writing I could pretty much understand you. You allso have an inocence that I like and comforted by that. Since I look like im normal I feel like I cant reallt let out my inocencs. Not to say you look abnormal ive seen you in the photos and you look pretty intelligent to me. You are very bright to me and hav egood sence of how to take care of your family and yourself. Youa redoing GREAT despite of have alot of isseus with autism. Hang in there I KNOW it can be hard.
