Lorna if you to want me to in private will read of you presentations

and give you some feed backs to it. it is not of work to pursway

some to belive of you thinking like many speakers like martin luther

king who I to admire much in hims thinking and braveness to speak

out when the danger of hims own life was major threat and eventually

took of hims but hims words are so much of profound to me and he to

teached us in life much about human kind. 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.

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

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
