Other interest...

I was a certified IT that expired in 2017. I enjoy computers and technology. I have a hard time using a screw driver and using my hands with small parts. It may not be safe for me to solder and use sharp tools but my disability doesn't stop me from doing normal things. 

I enjoy learning about my diagnosis and mental health issues. It interest me to learn about autism and intellectual disability because how the mind works. I also like to learn about civil rights. I want to help someone with disabilities by being an advocate so what I been through doesn't happen to others. Especially with today's society with the criminal justice system that has failed to protect the community because of the unmet needs for those with mental disabilities. 

I am probably diagnosis with moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder, mild intellectual developmental disability, ADHD, moderate to severe expressive and receptive language disorder, severe central auditory processing disorder, Tourette’s disorder, anxiety, depression, self injury behavior, and multiple medical conditions.
