So you think you might....
Have you ever seen information about mental health, austim, and/or dyslexia and thought....wow, that perfectly describes me!!
I have been officially diagnosed with the mental health struggles of anxiety, depression, and OCD.
But...looking back through the experiences of my life so far, I HIGHLY suspect that I also have dyslexia and high functioning autism (also known as Asperger's Syndrome or level 1 autism). Both of which seem to have gotten more pronounced as I get older.
I'll be using this page as a place to share short anecdotal stories about things that happen in my life that make me think...
- So, you think you are...
- autistic
- dyslexic
- So, you think you have...
- anxiety
- depression
- OCD
While I have no official training in mental health or austism, I have done a TON of reading on the subject and feel like I am pretty good at recognizing the signs of high functioning autism and anxiety/depression/OCD.
I have completed graduate level courses on dyslexia and received a certificate in Dyslexia and Language Based Learning Disabilities. I also am a licensed reading specialist and reading intervention teacher. While I feel like I am very qualified to recognize the signs of dyslexia and provide reading interventions, I still have so much more that I want to learn about dyslexia and how to help my students reach their full potentional.
