Hi everyone! It’s been a long time, sorry for this. I have been putting my focus on caring for animals. I rescued 2 kittens back in April. This changed my routine which took some getting used too but it’s been a joy seeing them grow & thrive. How’s everyone been? #Autism

I have 2 special interests, Pokémon & animals. As a teenager I wanted to share this but found it hard to fit in. Last year I got a job as an animal care manager, this week my team surprised me with a Pokémon card!. To be in a accepting environment is a great feeling #Autism

@RoseyMorearty Thank you! It’s been busy but I’m hoping to be more active on here again. I’ve missed this community! 🥰 x

Since I was young, my special interest has always been animals. In November I became a manager in animal care & it’s a job I never expected to achieve. As a child I had a teacher who encouraged my passion & believed in me. Today I received this card from her❤️ #Autism

From the child who didn’t speak in lessons to the adult who has begun her teaching journey!. I still get anxious but my confidence is slowly improving. My teaching was assessed the other day as part of my teacher training course & I received this lovely feedback😁👍 #Autism

Today we finally got to go to the beach! Dad & I haven’t been able to do anything in so long, as he is vulnerable & we have to be so careful. Great to be back to a place which makes us feel so calm.😁 @Crasstafari (dont worry theres grass on the other side of the wall!)

@StandingHannah That’s honestly so great to hear 😁 I’ve been quiet recently but I’ve also been working on something for those who follow me which I hope to post about one day!.

Growing up, many people doubted me but some people saw something in me. The other day I received this lovely message from someone who met me many years ago & supported me. She was a teacher, now a colleague but more importantly a friend for life. #AutismAcceptanceMonth #Autism

Growing up, I didn’t have the social skills to have friends. I become obsessed with animals & Pokemon, they became my special interests. My friend recently painted me this beautiful Pokemon painting. As an adult I’m lucky to have friends to share my interests with. #Autism

2020 threw me out of my comfortable routine, I felt anxious. As I’m sure many others did. This change & uncertainty pushed me to apply for a job I’ve wanted for years. Since getting my new job I go into 2021 open minded & motivated. Happy new year everyone & stay safe #Autism
