More spontaneous speech as a speaker with an autism disorder to show more independense
After I came to Sendai in 2005, I spoke in public a few times as a speaker with an autistic disorder.
These opportunities were supported by city developmental disability support center.
I made minimum preparation, but most of the preparations were by city staff.
They arranged what I said and what best describes my thought according to the remark of the past meeting in the support center. They also made me presentation for me of the summary of what I was to speak when my turn came.
It was a good experience to speak what I think myself as a young adult with an autistic disorder. At the same time, I haven't shown that I can be an independent adult even if I have an autistic disorder. Having shown that I can state my view is a good thing, what I think about myself, my life so far, experiences with people around me, and hope for society. However, If I could show public that I were more independent, certainly I could give more hope of adults with developmental disorders to be more independent to the parents and the family of them.
Now I'm greatly dependent on my parents, and make a little effort to do things, especially housework like cleaning the room, putting away and washing dishes and so on, after I've worked several years with supports from parents, staff of supporting organizations and my boss.
To show more independent than before, through experience having continued to work for several years, I may want to arrange what I think about myself, my disorder, and relation between society and me. Making a presentation by myself can be a symbol that I'm more independent than before and I can use experience of general work when making presentation of myself
