In...Wow I graduated in Abnormal Psychology in 2003. Initially I wanted to work with people with mental disorders. After graduation I felt I couldn't deal with this 'separation' between Them and Me.. I just felt the line between me and them was thin/non-existent so how could I pretend to be on of staff while I was depressed and felt so disconnected myself. <br /><br />I only found out about ASD (or whatever you want to call it)in 2011. So crap, really.. I studied this stuff and it took me part of a lifetime to find out I was having a disorder I could never get rid of. Irony :P <br /><br />PS just found you via Youtube. You have an awful lot to say about everything. It makes my mind spin. I kinda think about my own life mostly, and I want to find practical solutions to everyday problems, I try not to thing too much about labels and theory. Eventhough, lack of life events does push you towards theoretic reasoning instead of just going out and do some real stuff :PAbsolute Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381837164299898327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-1521516055470402292011-08-14T21:12:31.257-04:002011-08-14T21:12:31.257-04:00I think you got the right idea, though maybe it...I think you got the right idea, though maybe it's not my place to say any of this. <br /><br />I do want to say a couple things though. One is that I get the impression that you had a really positive impact on the people you were serving relative to some other people. You did this while being pretty upfront (at least to yourself and on here) about having selfish motivations for being there. These things are not a coincidence. It is not a coincidence that you can do more good than an "altruistic" person who thinks they can get money for being a "good person." This is one part of yourself that I think you have a right to be glad about.<br /><br />Second is, don't give up on finding better spaces. Because I honestly believe they can exist, even in this climate. Spaces where disabled people are not seen as faulty, spaces where having a similar disability is seen as a positive thing, spaces where people can just exist as the sort of person they are. I also think you have the potential to play a role in creating these spaces, though probably not by yourself (I certianly don't blame you if you don't do this). Maybe not for money, either. Money messes things up, so either you deal with that influence or divorce yourself from it, maybe in some of the ways you are trying to. <br /><br />Again I apologize if I shouldn't be saying this. I definitely don't have a right to dictate/judge this stuff, but at the same time I can't help feeling encouraged by it even though that may ultimately be a way of judging/dictating.Panchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695297748121188470noreply@blogger.com
