Rebecca's Blogs

Autism is widely heard of in this current age. Though Rebecca constantly receives much interest about her three lesser known diagnoses. Yes, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a familiar household name; however it’s actual meaning and characteristics that come along with it are in truth much less understood   

Ever since Rebecca graduated from school she has (more) freedom to work in areas of which she desire's. Initially she would do the same amount of work as she did in high school, by giving herself lessons of my her in areas where she was previously weaker. She continued working to that same level for over five years......

Just about every person Rebecca come's across in life notices that she find's it very difficult to make and maintain eye contact. This can either be from people talking to her, as well as from them just seeing her in person out in public, in a picture or on camera. 

For all of her childhood Rebecca had (and continue to have this day) challenges with learning, socialising and experiencing life in a way that was typically expected of me. It’s not that she was necessarily deficient for the most part in those areas; it’s more rather that she do all of those things mentioned in her own individual way. Initially all of her challenges were diagnosed as a part of her severe anxiety disorder.

Today the current ratios (as there are many different ones from credible sources) of autism between males and females is growing ever more closer.    Females are statistically reported to be affected by autism less so than their male counterparts, even though it’s now becoming more widely believed that autism actually affects the those genders equally.

In the previous month’s blog Rebecca has discussed the current coronavirus situation, and how there’s much that is familiar to her about it, in terms of her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Being fearful of her life getting threatened by exposing herself to public germs and diseases is something she has experienced very often throughout her lifetime.
