My Autism & Coping with ‘Change’ AspergerWorld Acceptance

My name is Joely and I am an autistic activist and author.
In this video I discuss the realities of how ‘change’ impacts me in daily life and how it might be different to what people might expect. In this way, it’s far more than just a ‘change in routine’.
If you would like more information about me, my activism or to get your own signed copy of my book, please visit my website www.aspergerworld.co.uk

I can totally relate to everything!! I can go into total meltdown for days because of little things which are so insignificant to others like a Cloth to clean my microwave I had out on the side being moved by my Support Worker somewhere and disappearing. Just recently with Toilet Roll Gate I purchased another brand of toilet roll due to stock shortages in Sainsbury's and it turns out that I do not like the crinkly feeling or weird smell it produces. I've still got some of my normal Sainsbury's Soft Toilet Roll but my Support Worker decided to mix the two together in the cupboard which annoyed me! I'm using it as I've bought it but I can't wait to finish it to go back to the normal one. It's unsettling while I used it. I used to scream and go crazy when I was a child with things similar to what you mentioned re lunch box. It happens now with frustration when things people do to help the situation are not explained
