Since its nearly Christmas…
Ho! Ho! Ho!
That time of the year again is just around the corner. Every year as far as I can remember, me, my brother and my dad would go into town on Christmas Eve. We would look around St Stevens Green and get something to eat afterwards. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with my dad and brother on that day.
But of course, you don’t have to head into town or even outside your home to spend Christmas with family. You can also do some of the traditions below or make up your own.
Some traditions may include:
Family Matching Pyjamas
Heading into town
Playing card and board games with friends and family
Baking Christmas pudding and pies
Listening to classics like Away in a Manger
Christmas Parties
Get together’s
And of course the list can go on forever.
Its OK not to be OK
From time to time we tend to get overwhelmed. I myself got overwhelmed only recently. I knew I was a bit off on that day, I was in my centre. Instead of lashing out, I said to my keyworker that I was ‘going home’. While ‘going home’ I decided to go to Insomia (sorry spell mistake) I decided to treat myself to a cookie hot chocolate and a blueberry muffin.
While sitting alone, my mind was becoming a lot clearer and it was easier for me to think. I was trying to figure out what made me to get overwhelmed. Later figuring out back in the centre, it was my diagnoses of Aspergers. I never understood why I wasn’t diagnosed when I was small. I figured that maybe that the resources back in the late 90’s or the early 00’s would be different.
I also wondered would my life be any different if I was diagnosed? Would I know how to tell the difference between a meltdown and uncontrollable anger? I properly would have known the difference, but at least I would have known how to handled it better if I was diagnosed at the age of 5.
Moral of the day is to never give up on something. Dont give up just because you have a diagnoses of something, because at the end of the day, there is help out there.

Poem – Tired of Fighting
My silence means I’m tired of fighting and now there is nothing left to fight for. My silence means I am tired of explaining my feelings to you, now I don’t have the energy to explaining them anymore. My silence means I have adapted to the changes in my in my life and I don’t want to complain. My silence means I am on a self healing process and I am trying to forget everything I ever wanted from you. My silence means I am just trying to move on gracefully with all my dignity. – Aarti Khurana
