Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My sister charlotte has classic austim , austim is a disabitely that affect social skills, social skills are divide in to 3 parts , social communication , social imagineing and social interscon , social communaiction is not just about words it about facial expressions and body launanage for people with austim reading body launanage and  facial expressing can be difficult , so people with austim offten can`t tell if someone anger , happy , or sad. People with austim also find everyday excpress such as run the bath , they think of a bath running , a bath can`t run , or catch the bus , how can you catch a bus it to big , and will also seem to take jokes very seriosecy as it is the seem conspent . some people with austim have very litte or no speach at all and prefer to use mackton and pecks , while other people with austim more seem to have very advance speach but may not understand , what it realy means , alot people with austim will often repter things they may have head , offten saying them over and over agian.

 

social imaginsion links into social communaction alot as people with austim offten have troubble reading facial and body launange , they suggule to know what people or going to do for example if someone gets anger you know they may begin to shout but people with austim are`nt also able to tell that this is what might happen , which is why many people with austim like a strict rountine and don`t like changes. People with austim often stuggling to understand both thier onw feelings and other people feelings , which also makes it hard for them to express them selfs and in social situations as may say or do the wrong when someone upset, and if able to realsle they upset may not understand why.

 

socail interaction is offten hard for people with austim as they reallie on all the social skills pules the unwritten rules of social rules everyone eles picks up without thinking for example not to stand to closs to people , don`t interpented , don`t just talk about yourself and to listen to people when your talking to them.

 

They are also other difficutty that can come with austim that are`nt in the dangiosic

sleeping prombles

senorony sensitivy

obbisions

other disabilties such as lreaning differcults, behouior and mental health prombles ,

The money you donaton could help pay for eduction aids and support teachers, support for both the preson with austim and thier family , this money is much needed as austim is a lifelong disabitey and 1 in 100 people are some where are the spectream
