A turn for the better

After my many hard years, thinking I was an average kid, then the kids who I thought liked me started rejecting me like they had never met me before. Then going through middle school with the worst amount of bullying because of my autism and I became ashamed of it. Then, going through a life-changing phase of my life, attending Sun-Hang-Do, which taught me everything that has made me the young man I am today. I wouldn’t be here today writing about my confusing life and how I have come a long way from my problems.

I know a Teaching Assistant who has an autistic son, and he’s planning to home school him because he’s afraid that kids might bully his son to an overwhelming point. Autism is a part of life more common than before, so I think until we find a cure for autism, people need treat autism not as a joke but as something that could happen to any other person. Someone in an elevator or walking on a sidewalk could have autism and you may not know it.
Thank you for following so far and I hope you comment in the future.

My Sun-Hang-Do Benefits

My therapy wasn’t the only thing that got me to where I am today.  If it wasn't for the martial arts studio, Sun-Hang-Do, I definitely wouldn’t have the confidence to write this blog.

Sun–Hang–Do is a Korean martial art that only exists within the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, with 9 locations including Abbotsford and Vancouver, and its' membership count is likely over 1000 people of all ages.

I started Sun-Hang-Do at age 9 and the reason I got started on it wasn’t because I wanted to get fit, but because I wanted to know karate like SpongeBob did. But every martial arts studio my parents tried would  not take me because of my autism. Finally, they tried the Abbotsford Sun-Hang-Do gym and my master, Brian Kinney, didn’t care about my autism. He brought me in for a trial lesson, saw my potential, and here I am a recently turned 2^nd Degree Black Belt. I have been training for 7 years and I would love to keep going at it.

Sun-Hang-Do has taught me responsibility, maturity, and stress control. It has also helped me handle situations better, given me confidence, higher self-estem, and has kept me in good heath. I greatly thank my parents for setting me up for Sun-Hang-Do, and I thank my Master Brain Kinney and all of the instructors that have helped me get this far.

My therapy benefits

When I was 3 years old I still was not able to talk, I had developmental issues when it came to acting my age and may anger management wasn't good. At the age of 7 a little after I was diagnosed with my high functioning autism, my parents started getting me therapy. I started with speech therapy, and I really didn't want to do it,  mainly because I was getting frustrated that I couldn't  say thing's properly or when they just can't understand me. Now a day's I still have troubles  saying things every now and than with speech but it's rare. I also received therapy for my frustration issues, Before my therapy I got easily frustrated over thing's I didn't expect or thing's I just didn't like. That therapy tout me how to better control my frustration by practising breathing control and so on. I am currently receiving therapy now for social issues, but if it weren't for my  Behavioural interventionist Jackie Turner I would not have the ability to speck properly, or control my frustration issues, and I thank her for it.

My Autistic role model

Back in my "not so good days" I was leaned about a famous women, who went past her autism and used the image side of her autism to revolutionised framing framing techniques in America.

That women is Temple Grandin

Temple was diagnosed with autism at the age for four (also didn't speak until four) She always had a hard time with other children, and she was less interested in toys, and more into disassembling things. And Her photographic side of her autism to get thought school, and University.

I see her as a role model because she went from a little girl who couldn't speak until four, to a women who revolutionised cow herding technetium, and proved to North America that people with autism can go very far in   this world. She also went thought kids picking on her, difficulty with understanding subjects in school, and having even her best idea's ruined by other people. If she could do, than I believe any person with autism can do it.

My autistic pet peeves

Being a person with autism I have been picked on and stereotyped, and it made me angry, and I don't want people to think these things just because they that I don't know what there saying about me.
1 of my many pet peeves is the word retarded, I hate it so much I can't even say the word. I find it annoying because its original definition is mentally or physically slow. but because of today's modern a peel to words, mad e the definition change to what most people know it as. It is often used to call some one stupid, what you say to people like me either it was meant to be an insult or a common definition by misconception.
another is when when hear the word autism  they amuse there not smart I'm an easy example, I have a B and C average in school. I did have grade problems back in the 4th and 5th grade but that was because of my bully problems, and I'm sure that there are many autistic adults that have made a fine living doing what even they do.
Another is when people amuse you have a disability just by your looks, because it's not true.the reason 1 in every110 people are diagnosis, it's less that more people are getting diagnosed, but more like the standards of getting diagnosed have gotten smaller. There could be a person with autism in a coffee shops, work place or a stop light, that look like any other person.
I can't blame anyone for thinking these things, because it's not uncommon
