"Hi my name is Jamie 25 years old who has (Autism ) adult diagnosis, Child diagnosis d.a.m.p also in process on getting re diagnosis now as adult , since i understand more stuff now in my life rather than when i was a little child not having understanding with anything at all before when i was Child, I couldn't read or understand books or didn't no how to socialize with peers, but i have come along way through battling its not been easy for me, more case i cant write to save my life , I am always in strict routine with doing things and if am not doing them activities i have a Bad day and just shut everyone out like whole world but what has changed my life is Climbing with helping me with my coordination confidence self-esteem feeling safe not having worry on what society classes everyone I can't say on how much it's helped me with battles had go through in my life on being away at young age in school special needs boarding residential hard for my parents but to me I thought It was walk in park still most kids be home with there family! I was in out meetings with doctors key workers on all kinds medication effecting my appetite my moods just making you feel what I call star trekked meaning by you are frazzled no communication not even function in your body , so what climbing has done & is being with people who are like minded creative like same things of my special interests has helped me in loads ways with working my brain a lot better understanding certain information being more focused with daily routines & more just everything in general with my life now as I hit 20 than when I understood loads things , but what am trying get across is if you teach autistic kid child in steps gradually he will find his path journey, on living with autism don't make them do things there not comfortable in doing or forcing your how you grew up & parents ideas on to them because they will get creative in stuff they feel happy in doing stop think & listen to what he or she has to say never no about the Autistic ways with life optimistic is the key ..
Also Things to do with Extreme sports i love outdoors environment , hiking ,surfing , cliff jumping everything with adventures you can call me wine Frodo . living on wild side

I found it very hard & difficult to fit in with others when I was kid & peers when i went away I was in a dark place at age 12 years old to when I went boarding school when times were really hard tough.
But it had changed my life from having the help I needed support down there since the teachers at mainstream and at home in school didn't give a shit or no how to deal with autism.
plus one to one help connects in more ways with the teachers they get to understand you and your self more than a mainstream Teacher.
Doctors saying you never be able ride bike go on pair skates well I was determined prove show the world wrong.
My achievements was been able to play Ice Hockey & Roller Hockey and i did done that for four years in a team as well so no one can tell you that you wont be able do things in your life , tried playing football for a team but was all over the place couldn't get on with any my team mates cause they were just Judgmental peers .. Always struggled with everything i done.
But now that i got older its better to talk about things rather than keep it all on your mind.
So express what you feel to others such as parents doctors about your lows and your highs , still get good days bad days everyday , but wont let it define me as person
To all that are struggling with things you have Gift at the end of day try new things on no matter what the outcome is ,
battle on through , Each goal you do is Achievement even if you don't see it at first,

Coaching and climbing with Jay has possibly been the most inspiring climbing journey that I have been on for a while. Watching him face the difficulties of climbing combined with the other challenge that is in his life has been humbling.
In between, climbing sessions where he works hard at learning how to be calm clipping a quick draw on lead and not get frustrated, when he is learning not to think about the confusions of right and left and to try to slow everything down when everything is telling him to hurry, in between this we had a great chat about his life and mine.
To sit down and hear a young man with autism be open about the challenges it has caused him to just live and the methods he uses to manage the best life for himself and his awareness of his own bravery and that it has ultimately been about how he has chosen to face his autism and how the world looks at him as he looks back at it was amazing and has left me feeling pretty humbled about my own difficult childhood and challenges I faced.
He lead his strong ass up the steep wall of the Beacon today fighting every difficult clip with such determination and bravery when he had only just learned how to find a solution for managing the magnified frustration of clipping a rope through the quick draw whilst under the weird sensation of being on the lead was just inspiring for me. Well done Jay 'stomping' Owen!
