Going back to uni tomorrow, feeling anxious as usual.
Tomorrow is a big day. I will meet up with Thea, the disability officer in Griffith Univsersity to see what assistant and benefit I can get from the University. Haha, I got a little thrill when I hear the word “disability”, but I guess I am disabled in many ways. After that I will meet up with Tanya, the assistant administration officer in dental school who has been helping me a lot. She will let me know if there’s anyone in dental or medical school that has the same condition and would like to meet up with me. I thought Asperger was quite common, but I found myself totally wrong after I read “The Complete Guide to Asperger Syndrome” by Tony Attwood. The prevalence, depends on different diagnostic measure, is generally extremely low ranging from 0.3 per 100000 to 48 per 100000. I feel so special =)
The more I read about Asperger, the more I realised how much disability I have. What I read online before was only a small fraction of Asperger. Tony Attwood’s book gives a real insight into Asperger syndrome and provides me a much better understanding of myself and the condition and ways to cope with it. Thank you Tony for writing the book, I would love to meet you one day!
Just realised, my birthday is coming in 3 days. Oh My God! I don’t even feel it at all...it feels so far away but it’s right in front of me. I guess there won’t really be any celebration as Kolin is far away in Melbourne and I don’t have any close friend in uni. Maybe Vivianne and I can have a small celebration ourselves! What’s better? This is a good excuse for me to get a whole taro birthday cake from Bread Top in Brisbane. Now I’m really exciting!
