Rebecca's Blogs

From childhood Rebecca has enjoyed building worlds and villages with Lego, forts and dollhouses with action figures, as well as train-sets. Thus it didn’t take long for me to embrace the current explosion of digital sandbox games including Minecraft, Fortnite, Portal Knights, Pixark etc.

Autism is widely heard of in this current age. Though Rebecca constantly receives much interest about her three lesser known diagnoses. Yes, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a familiar household name; however it’s actual meaning and characteristics that come along with it are in truth much less understood   

Ever since Rebecca graduated from school she has (more) freedom to work in areas of which she desire's. Initially she would do the same amount of work as she did in high school, by giving herself lessons of my her in areas where she was previously weaker. She continued working to that same level for over five years......

Today the current ratios (as there are many different ones from credible sources) of autism between males and females is growing ever more closer.    Females are statistically reported to be affected by autism less so than their male counterparts, even though it’s now becoming more widely believed that autism actually affects the those genders equally.

In the previous month’s blog Rebecca has discussed the current coronavirus situation, and how there’s much that is familiar to her about it, in terms of her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Being fearful of her life getting threatened by exposing herself to public germs and diseases is something she has experienced very often throughout her lifetime.

Rebecca has been writing blogs for SpecialKids.Company for three years now.  Often by means of trial and error Rebecca has come up with some stronger additions to mindfulness exercises for moments of higher stress or anxiety. It may sound ironic that exercises which bring her anxiety down involve her doing work (relating to that of her career) itself.
