Adapting to the environments I'm in to avoid meltdowns...

Hey all I'm having a tough time lately with health and my medical conditions but we are monitoring and treating best we can!!

At times like this communication seems impossible but I'm trying my absolute best and I am transferring over to advanced vocab! 

Even though I'm doing so well and this is my current home page I still go back to basic when needed....

I'm off to Cadbury world tomorrow and have edited my page so that I can easily tell my carer what I need and if I am feeling poorly 

As you can see it's very basic but will be enough for this particular place which can be overwhelming for me if it's busy and I need access to speech fast there isn't time to be searching for words so basic it is!

I can still say what chocolate I want to eat though! 

Hospitals and illness

Having a voice at hospital appointments was something I never thought possible but it IS POSSIBLE and I can now do it! I have a general hospital folder which helped me in my 3 night stay earlier this year so I could express how I felt and what I needed and tell them if I was upset this made such a huge difference and I didn't have a meltdown the whole time I was in even though I became very close at the end! 

This is my hospital page.....

Is is my page to tell my carers when I am having a hypo and how I am feeling as I have a good knowledge of when it's getting severe and when an ambulance is needed.  

This is my seizure page which really helps me either before or after a seizure when I am really confused simple but effective. 

And this was for my recent EEG I had to have done this made life so much easier I could understand and ask questions during the EEG so it wasn't as stressful or confusing!
