Impulsivity

My kind of favorite thing to do is write issue-based pieces. That means this blog is my most favorite thing. Really there is so much to think about, honestly, that I could talk all day like this and not run out of things to say.  Let me start with discussing impulsivity. 


Very little is written about this in regards to us. Most people think we are behaving strangely because we are cognitively impaired. They think we don’t understand how to behave because we have autism and don’t know how to act. But none of these are true. The loss of impulse control is a part of our dyspraxia. I cannot control what my body is doing. What it has responded to is really not in my conscious mind. 

I can be writing great stuff and be totally into it when my body suddenly decides to get up and walk away. (In fact, that just happened!) I have zero control.
