autism and 'incidents'



This lovely looking suited mans hand here is basically a example of what  my hand looked like a couple of hours ago, to say i was  panicking would be a understatement basically i was trying to wedge something open with a pair of very sharp sizzors and it slipped and went into the thumb on my left hand its hard to remember some of it now i was in the garden sitting on the grass i just remember running down the path i thought "where do i go i need to go fast"  because it was literally pouring out of my thumb i ran to the nearest bungalow home of a young lady with down syndrome i knocked on her door in panic because i knew she has staff until 10 pm (my staff had just left in a taxi literately 10 mins before this happened)  the staff let me in the lady wasnt happy with it saying "its my bungalow" staff phoned the office to come sort out my hand and put a kitchen paper towel over it which was completely covered by time staff come they tried phoning manager but no answer  put a temporary plaster over it took me to office used antibacterial wipe and put a big fabric type plaster over it while i was on my way to the office with the site staff i noticed a large deep cut down my right hand finger so i have a very long plaster over that one 

this week has been very crazy ha ha

getting lost inside my own house !!



this has been a huge problem for me since i moved here from my old (horendous!) care home a month ago , i get extremely lost wherever i am and confused and this triggers bevhaviour/anger with me quite quickly




the signs are a huge help (i am bungalow 14 :D ) i dont yet have sings on my front/back garden of my house





the manager is working on signs to put on the front/back of my house to help with this issue 




as you can see it is very easy to get lost here haha

i even get lost inside of my house


so the staff made me these to help me on the doors , this is the sitting room




this is the bathroom









this is my bedroom one : )





this is the storage cubord where the coats/staff coats are keeped








this is my kitchen which is easily one of the most confusing rooms in my bungalow haha 



i would get extremely angry in the kitchen not being able to comunicate i wanted somthing out of the fridge becuase i couldnt find the fridge so this one is very important for me  !




these are very helpful for me






the main building i can find because it is diffrent from the other buildings and the staff constantly prompt me "look for the clock on top of it" haha


sorry for the bad quality of the pictures it was getting dark when i took them (the other night) so there not the best pictures my phone dosnt have a very good camera anyways











autism and minor meltdowns



 the bungols are all made with tough type furniutre in them but this is somwhere they have forgot about

i mangaged to break the heater before i was restrained by staff






the doors etc are extremely tough thick protected but if i had more time (without staff there i mean) i probably could break it





the staff were in that much of a hurry to stop me they damaged the wall next to the front door, it does that when you close it hard without letting go of the handle properly

autism and prompts/reminders











notice anything unusual about this washer ? yes its got a reminder on it , my staff put it there for me see it covers part of the dial so i have to move it to read where the dail is on the number for the washer to set it to wash or dry (wash is 3 dry is 12 the rest i have no idea) so that means i notice it and nearly every single time i do realise it i have forgot to put the soap powder in this is because i never used to use soap powder in the ohter care home because the washing machines were automatic with that with pumps at the backs of them and before that i didnt do my own washing at all (i do it now with help) , so i am not fully aware of the importance of using soap powder/fabric softner etc whatever, 






so to help me with this and to save there voice of staffs prompting me (like they used to have to do every time before when i used the washer) the coolest staff of mine who is my favorite  put this on for me so now i almost never forget to put soap powder in only have a couple of times ! compared to literaly every time i used it without prompting.

autism and the rain - going to the shop

 AUTISM AND THE RAIN - GOING TO THE SHOP








This is how whet it was going to the shop me and my staff got soaked haha

autism , obsessions, and behaviors




The other day i went out shopping with one of my favorite
support staff and another resident and there staff
my staff had promised me since release i could buy the Lego movie
finally i could buy it i was extremely exited stimming all day
hands flapping all over the place at first i was tagging along with this other resident to a cafe then going to town to get the dvd with my staff but the resident decided after the cafe to join us to get some dvds of there own but i was so exited and stimmy i didnt care about the change it was noisy in the cafe covered my ears but my staff singed to me to put my headphones on and all was good again back to stimming madness haha : ) at first i wasnt a fan of the lego movie at all i hated it mostly because it was a big change from the sort of thing i am used to watching and its a completely different kind of movie style for me (the whole moving lego movie thing) after a while i slowly started to like it and then suddenly i was obsessed (mainly with lord/president business) anyways we were going around the supermarket (i hate ASDA soo much) i was carrying my dvd stiming around my staff looked at the other dvds then they noticed a BLUE one !! im EXTREMELY love the colour blue and its even MORE AMAZING if the object of what i am obsessed with is coloured blue also , i just freaked out major stiming jumping vocalizing flapping my staff knows my desire for blue which is why they looked in the first place haha one of the reasons i like that staff so much is because of there dedication and genuine love for there job and that they genuinely care . : ) 


The other resident was taking there time with what they wanted which is where the behaviors started .

 I was so extremely exited i started biting on the dvd with excitement (i often mouth things when im extremely exited) 

 I was beginging to get impatient and "over exited" as both my staff and residents staff started saying biting on the case full on now which was wrapped in its film still my staff decided to take me to the till to get me to pay for it to try and calm me down a bit because i kept signing go , and home over and over and stimming etc 

 I carried it back on the bus i tried to take it back out the bag when the staff paid for it but they said wait until we get out the shop with a smile on there face sort of laughing so they must have not been extremely serious haha .

 Not even getting to the downstairs part of the supermarket i had took it out the bag and nearly fell on my staff going down them stupid flat escalator things that trolleys magnet to by misjudging my getting onto it step staff and  me had a great laugh about that haha 

I carried it all the way even on the bus chewing at it gently my staff had to take it off me until we got back to the home so i didnt break the case ! haha !    when i looked at it that night half the case was completely soaked from my chewing it and dribbling on it (i have poor mouth control)  , i watched this movie loads of times : D 

                                   
                                          ..random note.. 

Zzz......Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.......... At the time of posting its nearly 3AM (2:53) i am extremely tired had sleeping meds blogs are competly new to me and spent 2 and a half hours attempting to post on a horrible slow (the care homes residents computer) computer where i eventually couldnt get anywhere on so switched to my mostly broken laptop 




   

autism , incontinence and independence


                            about a months and a half worth of pads. (photo from the other care home)

Not exactly something i like talking about with people but i am incontinent 90% of the time my staff etc are working on a care plan to do with me to try and manage it a bit in the day time(never had any help with it since never been getting support from services family been desperate for help ended up been taken away institutionalized in a horrible horrible care home for a year and a half miles and miles away from my family but now moved to a much more caring supported living care home which actually know at least something about autism) night time i have been told will be extremely hard to work on with me and stressful/lots of work for them and me because i dont get 1:1 on a night time (most dont theres just a night shift that goes around the site)    so after a while i will only need to wear them on a night time and on trips out im extremely exited about this !!







This is what they look like

autistic friendly incontinence bed protection




THIS - 





This type of bed protection i hate so much , i have major sensory sensitivites with fabrics which is abuslute hell with certian fabrics for me which makes self injury/stimming until moved , took years to find a decent one and not having to spend a lot of money replacing my bed alot less often : ) 






This is my bed.

looks like a ordinary bed dosnt it? its great very discreet which is very important for when visits in my room by people or other residents  : D


Here are some more pics of my bed in detail : )

My weighted blanket (staff fold it for me after i get up)



Waterproof pillow/pillow protector cover (2nd photo)

This is the bed protection underneath a ordinary bed sheet (replaced daily)

It is toweled proper nice and soft love it so much



This is it underneath it is plastic PVC for extra protection







Underneath is extra protection for my bed







This is the odinary bed sheet sort of anoying for me and my staff because it needs changed every day which is a lot of washing the underneath needs changed every 2 - 3 days (i have more than 1)   non stop washing me and my staff have to do at least i like to watch the washing machine and use the washing machine : D
