Story of my Life

*Photo taken by me of  ~  Belmar NJ sunrise *

Hello, I was born in 1957 and I was born with Learning disabilities that was never properly diagnosed. 
When I was born there was no testing available. So I struggled to learn in school. School was very very hard for me. I struggled every day with processing and comprehending . I couldn't stay focused. I was easily distracted.

I was also born with myopia and I was near legally blind until I had Cataract surgery in 2014.  

Now I am able to see distance without glasses, which I was never able to see . Now I can see things I was never able to see.

I'm a giver, not a taker, I'm a giver to anyone.Whether it is my shoulder, my ear, my art, A dollar, or a special gift,I give to where the gift is needed or earned.I am a helper to others.I am friendly, I can make a friend wherever i go.I'll talk to anyone.I love to see people laugh or smile Because of what I did, said or gave.Love to see them smile and their faces light up When surprised.

(This Makes my heart Smile.)

Everyday Life ~

ღི♥ྀღ

I can't open any jars, my hands can never twist off the lids.

I can't touch or take the cotton out of the vitamin and medicine bottles. 

I can't have anyone in the kitchen when I am cooking,

 because I become easily distracted.

In 1999 I bought my very first computer. 

I self taught myself everything there is to know about a computer, because I wanted to learn it.

I searched for many years trying to find doctors 

that test Adults with Learning disabilities.

 There are not many out there.When I was 49 I found a psychologist who tested me and diagnosed me with Dyslexia and ADHD. From there in 2006 I found an OT that diagnosed me with severe Sensory Processing Disorder. In 2011 - I was diagnosed with Mild Autism/ Aspergers. I was also diagnosed with Central Auditory Processing Disorder. 

Because of all of this I also have depression and Chronic Anxiety which I am on medication for.

 My everyday life is difficult. I dont like to be around lots of people, so I avoid shopping malls, I dont go food shopping I get very over whelmed by all the sounds, smells, bright lights and people getting too close to me. 

Because I was born with all of this, I was told that the right side of my brain works better then the left side, the right side is the creative side.  

I am a born within/self taught Graphic Artist,Crafter,Photographer and I also do Calligraphy.  I taught myself how to do Desktop Publishing which I love to do. I also love  Enhancing Photographs.
I love to Crochet , 

I been doing that since I was 13 years old.........
