Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): A brief explanation to enhance understanding

Understanding ASD
ASD manifests in an individual in three ways:

Career Choice

Making the Right Career Choice

Choosing a career in today’s society may not be as simple as it seems. There are many different career opportunities to choose from in the world today. This allows for more opportunity than before, but could also leave an individual feeling overwhelmed when trying to make a career choice during their final high school years.

Burnout

What is Burnout?

The term “burnout” was originally used in the 1970s to describe the consequences of severe stress and high ideals- basically, pushing yourself further than what is realistic, and doing so under adverse circumstances. It doesn’t seem like a very nice thing to do to yourself does it?

Relaxation

When we feel stressed typically our breathing is shallow, our heart rate is increased and our muscles are tensed. To change these physical reactions a good place to start is with our breathing.

Behind the Mask

Don’t be fooled by me.
Don’t be fooled by the face I wear,
For I wear a thousand faces that I’m afraid to take off –
And none of them are me.
Pretending is an art that’s second nature to me but don’t be fooled,
For God’s sake, don’t be fooled.
