I would like to hear from anyone who listened to radio 4 this afternoon. The disturbing thing about ti is that children who were labelled as being different were being used as pets and this occurred within the society of that day. Perhaps some children somewhere in the world in today's society are caged like animals because they have been labelled with unfair and unwanted labels.

Doing something different
On Friday was Red Nose day and I wanted to do something different, stand out in the crowd and what better way than do something for Comic Relief. So I went down to Brighton Churchill Square Shopping Centre were i did a 2 hour sponsored Hula Hoop. But to make it more challenging it was whilst working on my MacBook Pro. Yes my arms ached like hell afterwards but it was worth it. to watch me hula hooping and working on my MacBook simultaneously click on the following page and scroll down to the bottom of the wall and watch the video of me. www.lifebyeondlabels.com
a Little about ebing Autistic
If your look at the heading you will see being mispelled. perhaps i am slightly dyslexic except I can touch type 70 words aminute without looking at the keyboard. Okay I may make a few errors.
I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome ADHD and other Motor difficulties when I was 48.
I would liek to talk to you about what I would wish for.
When I was very young I wish I knew how to make friends. That is others would be happy to be my friend.
I wish they didn't feel awkward being with me.
I wish they could have understood me.
I wish when I was young I hadn't missed out on Sex Education and I wish as a teenager at school that when I found one of the girl's in my class very attractive that I had the courage to have walked over to her and to know how to chat to her.
I wish I knew how to kiss a girl and didn't have to ask my mother how to kiss or when to kiss.
I wish that throughout my life I didn't find sex a taboo and could openly talk about it.
I wish I could have had girlfriends and when I did they could accept me as being normal and not different.
When I was married I wish I could have been able to have been empathetic towards my wife when she needed me to be. But I could not because I did not know how.
When my children were young I wish they could have respected me but there were things about me they didn't understand.
I wish I was not misunderstood by my work colleagues who thought I was very rude and without manners without social graces. But I didn't know or understand what life skills were.
When I was young I appeared very lonely but I was happy in my own world. My parents were advised to seek the advices of a child psychiatrist by my nursery school teacher but even after a decade of therapy how could the experts know what I had no one really knew what Autism or Asperger Syndrome was.
There are many other things I could have wished for.
To learn more about my relationship with autism you will have to wait for my next blog.
If you have any questions I may know some of the answers. Ideally I would like you to join my website community at www.lifebeyondlabels.com where you are welcome to post any question in the forum. you have to be registered to post.
My motto
is become like Humpty a unique and different egg who no longer fears being labelled knows how to not fall off his wall and become a cracked egg.

Raising Awareness to Comic Relief and Autism
What a wonderful day yesterday was. Had hoped the weather could have been like the day before or the morning today when the sun was shinning. Nevertheless, it did not spoil the adgenda for the day and that was doing something different to the benefit of Children in Need around the world for the charity Comic Relief by raising £180.
I did this by being sponsered to Hula Hoop for two hours and I did this part of the time on the promenade along Brighton's seafront but for the most time and hour and a quarter outisde of the Brighton's Churchill Shoppin Centre.
Raising Awareness is the most valuable commoditiy we own but few of us really know how to use it to the benefit of others. The best way any of us can demonstrate awareness is by doing something no matter how small to the benefit of others who in our society are in need of our support, help and advices.
My Hula Hooping was a prelude to what I am going to be doing for World Autism Awareness Day on April 2nd 2011 when I am hoping to raise substantially more than the £180.
On April 2nd I am hoping to Hula Hoop for around six hours perhaps in Central London, perhaps in Convent Garden and I am hoping for a sunny day.
I will keep you in touch with updates to where I am going to do the event. I want to be doing the Hula Hoop extraveganza where I am going to get the most attention because of the need of raising awareness to the needs of those like me who have been labelled with unfairly, unwanted and undeserving labels. Being autistic can be so much fun and those who have been labelled have made wonderful contributions in society.
However at the conclusion of the 2011 National Autistic Soceity Professional Conference in Manchester earler this month the experts, the scientists, the psychologists made an outstanding anouncement. What is known about what Autism is or where it is derived from is a question that everyone is still battling to find an appropriate answer to and this is where you the public come in. Do your best to share giving those that are in need of your help and understanding so they can derive benefit for your advice, help and support For more information and how you can from help to make a small contribution please visit http://www.lifebeyondlabels.com/
Here you can become a member and learn to make a diffence to the world we live in to mnake it a happier, healthier and more harmonious place to live in.
For something a little bit different that I hope will bring some smiles to your faces I can strongly recommend visitng Kate Fox's website http://www.katefox.co.uk/
I saw her demonstrating her wit whilst being in the audience of the Autism Professional at the NAS Professional Conference. Kate can also be listened to on the Radio too.
One of the great things about seeing Kate in action is that she is one of many individuals doing there best to make the world a happier place.
