I have Asperger Syndrome which is an autism spectrum condition and a full diagnosis of Adult ADHD which are characterised by impairments in social communication, social interaction and social imagination. I also have a rigid and somewhat unpredictable routine. I also experience obsessive rituals, some a bit overwhelming. But I have a talent in articulate creative writing skills and possess a photographic rote memory. I have sensory sensitivity and get upset by loud noises, bright colours or lights, and notice the texture and consistency of certain foods more making my dietary choices extremely limited or restricted to certain food components. I dislike conflict and lies. The Adult ADHD also makes me very moody and cross.

Thank you. God bless you and may the blessings of Jesus Christ abound in your life. I've got a lot of nervous tension but I'm feeling really positive about my future. God is good!

Dear Friends,

I met the Shared Lives Network Care Facilitator who was a Nigerian lady called Utiunde and the Professional Careworker that I'm going to be moving in with who is an Anglo-Caribbean lady called Celestine and she lives in Peckham/New Cross in the London Borough of Southwark. My Corporate Appointeeship will be transferred over from the London Borough of Lambeth to the London Borough of Southwark and Celestine will collect my personal allowance which is a disposable income of £70-00 and do some shopping for me and she and I and another mute lady with a disability will prepare the food. Celestine will also wash my clothes daily and run me a hot bath. She will also help me contact Sky and get my satellite tv transferred over using a communal satellite dish she has in her Peckham house. Celestine and Utiunde are going to help me get into college and learn a trade so that I can eventually work for a living, too. My care coordinator is taking me to view the property the day after tomorrow, Wednesday 14th November 2018 Anno Domini. Also, Celestine doesn't want any of my friends visiting me there as it's her private home.

I'm hoping to move in with my Professional Careworker (Celestine) and her grown up son and a disabled lady with speech problems sometime before Christmas, @ickihun.

@JohnnyBaker87 - That all sounds incredibly positive! How do you feel about it?

It sounds positive that your difficult friends will be kept at a distance, and I'm sure your true friends will understand.

Dear @DCUKMod,

I feel completely and absolutely overjoyed and extol my gratitude to my care coordinator for all her hard work and also to DCUK, this wonderful Diabetes Resource Site for all their love and concern and awesome advice. My life is finally on the up.

I do have true friends. One of them is my friend Dudley who I met on Facebook and my Christ Church North Finchley friend, Graham.

Thank you so much for keeping your fingers crossed for me and for all the support I've received on DCUK.

@JohnnyBaker87.

dearest friends on the type 2 life thread of the dcuk forum,

i viewed my shared lives network home, which belongs to professional careworker celestine. what a beautiful house! my bedroom is due to be on the ground floor next to a little toilet room and kitchen, the living room is on the 1st floor with celestine's bedroom and a lovely bathroom with a toilet and washbasin and on the 2nd floor is the disabled orally disabled down's syndrome other shared lives network client when she moves in plus celestine's teenage son opposite her bedroom.

over the next few weeks the shared lives network care manager utiunde will be busy matching me with celestine for compatibility because that is a policy of shared lives plus. in the mean time, i'll still have carers popping in and out of my current flat from holistic community care limited in the interim period.

i'm very excited about my prospective new home if care manager utiunde feels it's appropriate.

Just thought I’d update you all on the liquid metformin Ron’s taking . It seems to be working his bg levels are now back down to normal . He’s still struggling on other issues associated with M.E. Ron has now decided to seek a second opinion about his heart condition . He has an appointment on the 4th of December with gp.
