Last week I went on a lovely little holiday to the central west of New South Wales to see my dads home town.

The weather was cold but lovely and sunny. I enjoyed seeing the sites and then going to Camberra to see the national gallery.

Most people know and understand me well but some people don’t realise things. Here is a list of things I wish people knew.

First I am intelligent and am able to understand most things as long as people look at me directly and speak loudly and clearly.

I wish people knew that even though I I sometimes have anxiety and meltdowns, I am not doing it on purpose.

I wish people understood my gut problems aren’t just from anxiety or ocds. I have lots of metabolic issues that courses pain and reflux.

I wish people understood that it is not a pity or sad that I am this way. It happened and can happen to anyone.

Mostly people are great but there will always be some who don’t completely get it and that is ok. That is why I try to help people to know more
