My life as an Aspie

My mom.... Boy do I miss her not because she's passed away but for other reasons. My mom was my greatest support rock I've ever had the one I could always always rely on no matter what. But she was also going through problems of her own. See she was diagnosed with severe bi polar so helping me took a lot out of her but she still did it. In 2018 I moved out of the house which seemed to both affect her and me at the same time. I had to move out due to finding out information about certain things plus I just wanted to get out and be on my own. I would call her every day on my way home from school or work and she would stay on the phone with me until I got home or wherever I was going. She never rushed me to get off the phone unless she had an appointment or something she couldn't avoid. Then she divorced my dad once again but stayed living in the house and things I could tell were not working right for her. One day she left out of the blue I walked into the house looking for...

Recently I've been writing alot about my brother being a great supporter to me but I wanted to clarify that there are lot more than just him. For instance I had many therapist who have helped me alot. Ive also had a lot of teachers who dared to be there for me as more than just a teacher a counselor would be one of the terms I would say. I'll start with my most recent teacher and work backwards. My high school ESE teacher Ms. Santini was the most wonderfully nice person I could ever had encountered. She was there to lend an ear to me when I needed it. When I had the time right before our class really started to fill in I could talk to her and tell her what was going on and she would then research and do whatever she thought she needed to do to help me despite that not being in her job description. Through out my final years of high school I had a lot going on between finding out certain things about family that was heart breaking to hear and my mom completely abandoning me(...

This passed weekend on September 28th my brother joined me in walking for mental health and coming from him that meant alot to me. My brother has more recently become my biggest supporter. Helping me no matter what whenever I needed it. If I'm feeling down and need to talk he's there to support me. Alot of the things I do now come from being around my brother. Loud music and Autism doesn't usually mix due to sensory issues. Unfortunately but at the same time fortunately my brother liked to play some loud music which in the end helped me get accustomed to the loud music. PSA: I know the order of my blogs don't make much sense to you but they do to me just the way my thoughts come out and I right them

Today I am writing to tell about the best and worse things I've experienced while on the spectrum. One day in 2015 my parents suddenly decided to get together again and then in 2016 get remarried this caused a lot of the change in my life which does not go well while having Autism. However having my mom around me everyday rather than every weekend also helped make things better. In 2017 my older brother joined the army and I went up to see him off. As soon as it was done and over and he was finally on his way to basic training I cried my eye balls out we were never really that close but we started to get closer and closer before he left. But when he left I was afraid I wouldn't see him again for a long time. Fortunately for me that time went by quick. I went to his graduation from basic training riding with his Wife my sister in law all the way to south south Carolina. I was so happy to see him again but being in a very crowded place was making it hard for me to do anything...

Then years later they decided I was only acting like that due to the inconsistentsy in my life. I moved all around growing up at first I live in fort Myers then I was suddenly uprooted and taken to Georgia to live with one of my favorite cousins Wayne who to me was great with me no matter what. Then from there I was taken back to Florida where I continued to have increasing behaviors. A few years later I was again uprooted and taken to Texas unexpectedly where my mom began to slowly fall out of my life. And my behaviors became more and more of an issue. I would run as far as I could to get away from certain situations. One day I can remember suddenly waking up and having my mom there to take us back to Florida. So again I landed back in North port  Florida where I would get better then get worse then get better again. I remember taking family trips with my mom but I always remember having some serious problems with change. One day something happen to the point where my older brothe...

Hello my name is Trey Willoughby and I have High functioning Autism formerly known as Asperger's. I am 20 years old and have a job working in the school district as a helping teacher working with other students with different abilities. I was born in Fort Myers Florida and have lived here on and off for the last 20 years of my life. Growing up I had a very rough inconsistent life. When I was just 5 years old my parents divorced each other and thus started a whole bout of behaviors that my parents didn't know how to handle. To me my mom Tracey was always there to help me no matter what I was going through. I think my dad was just unsure yet what it was he would have to do. When it came to school due to moving all the time I did not want to go sometimes at the bus stop I would freak out as the bus would approach and started screaming and yelling. At the time they decided to give me the diagnosis of a behavioral disorder.
