hi

i'm jacy, female, 29 years old. I'm currently waiting for my assessment to confirm that i'm on the spectrum. I'm a high functioning autistic
I'm also a feminist. Have global aphasia that alot of people mistake as being dyslexic, not really realising that although they are similar they are not the same. I also have mild ADHD. Oh and non-24 circadian rhythm sleep disorder.
I'm unemployed, but also a part time student, studying book-keeping and IT.
I love boots, tv and films and have an extensive collection of all of that and other things like gemstones.
I'm a eclectic pagan. I also own two cats, an evil hamster and a bunch of fish.
I'm bisexual and currently single
Oh, oh and i'm a labour supporter

My impression is that one with global aphasia can neither speak nor understand anyone.

I would be a Labour supporter if I were in England.

Do you boots, or books?

I once had six cats.

I probably have ADHD myself--both inattentive and hyperactive.

Nope, global aphasia is when you have difficulty with expressing yourself and also with processing external information. So its problems with the ins and outs lol

Obviously there are degrees of severity, i'm mild with it. And in writing it just make it appear to be mild dyslexia, but to talk to me you would see i also struggle with forming sentences and always tripping over myself, pronouncing things wrong, stuttering, stammering, get words mixed up, feeling like i'm not expressing myself the way i want, etc.

Ah yes, ha, i meant to say Books, though i am a fan of collecting boots. I have so many at one point it was ridiculous lol.

So see, another part of aphasia is writing wrong words and not being aware of it. The same with when i talk actually, i will say wrong words and not be aware of it. My mum is the same.
