Age29-30(4) Group activities in the developmental support center
I began job hunting.
I was speechless when it comes to things related to job hunting, and it seemed a despair to me.
I had lost connections when I was a student. I wasn't social, and every time I joined in a group, someone kind found me helpless and lost, and counted me in the group he or she was in. I wished that when I had to find a work too someone kind appeared and counted me in.
Sendai was my parent's home, but I was new to there.
They moved in there after I entered university. Until then, my family lived in a southern city in Iwate prefecture, 100km north of Sendai.
Therefore I totally lost contact with friends in university, and before then.
The city support center suggested that I join in a group of young adults with developmental disabilities. I lost no time to join.
The participants were much the same age as I was, many of them was a little bit younger, and some was a little bit older than I. Each of them had something strange in their way of behavior, or in their way of speech. I was not special there in that I have problems with communication, and behavior, largely because anxiety over meeting with people.
Activities there ranged from indoor activities like listening to CDs and watching DVDs, cooking, talking about themselves, to going outside like eating out or going out karaoke.
It was really helpful in that I was alone and helpless when I came to live in Sendai. It helped me to recover some self esteem that I had when I was in university.
After I had some confidence in that group I had some mixed feeling that one of my aspect that seek truth and intelligence was being left out. This was because I came to have a desire to do activities spontaneously, and sometimes engage in intelligent activities. Through this feeling I began to think about difference in needs of each person with developmental disorders.
