Two Year Anniversary

I just can't believe two years have passed for me on 2 events in my life, and I am proud of myself for this accomplishment.

 My first accomplishment is that I have had Titus and Lucy for two years now! I call that their #gotchaday. We celebrated by going on a walk in a park, and they thought that was the best day ever! Lucy enjoyed coming across a prairie dog, which yelled at us, dogs, bugs, lizards, and wildlife. Titus wanted to just lay down by the creek the whole time we were there. In the picture, Titus is the one looking at me, and Lucy is the one really busy hunting. Couldn't get Lucy to look at the camera!
They both have come such a long way. Titus is a canine good citizen, and Lucy is getting better at listening, and not just doing what she wants. (She's smart but so stubborn!)

So pretty, isn't it?!

My second accomplishment is that I have been selling Avon now for 2 years! What is exciting is that the same week, Avon came out with their 'subscription' boxes, and it honestly looks awesome. I have plans to stay with them as well.

 I have many goals this year with my dogs, and with Avon that I have set up myself. I try to set reasonable goals that will be achievable, and I believe that this will happen. (Positive thinking, ya know?)

 Goal 1) is for Titus to become my service dog through even more training. He is seriously so willing to learn anything! Goal 2) find a fun 'job' for Lucy. I have contemplated doing some sort of agility or something along those lines to fulfill her boredom, and her always moving brain and body. Goal 3) To have TWO people sign up for Avon under me.

 These goals, I feel, are accomplishable. As the new school year starts for some of you, what are YOUR goals for the school year? What do you want to accomplish? Tell me about them, and let's help each other reach these goals together!

 xoxo,
Hannah

Independence

Alright, you guys. I am going to get REAL with you guys on this post.  I was sitting down today, my day off, and looking around me thinking, "man, as a 26-year-old woman, I am seeing people much younger than me living such independent lives compared to me." It hit me, we are all on different life paths, with different problems, and different situations. I personally have not really "experienced" life on my own. I have lived with family members all my life and would LOVE to be on my own. I have worked, done some college, traveled, and a few other things while I am at home or with family. I have done things to try to improve my personal situation, but I have my reasons, and I want to share my reasons for living at home up to this point. I was diagnosed very young, about 8 years old, maybe nine, with Aspergers. Although I am considered high functioning, I have my had my fair share of difficulties associated with it. When I tell people that I am an Aspie, I usually

Seeking Help as an Adult

Growing up, getting the help I needed for my disability was readily available. I was always under the illusion that college would be great for people with disabilities, that people won't discriminate during the application or hiring process. I quickly learned that that is not the case. At all. Once I turned 18, the real world hit me, and hit me hard. To get the help I needed in school/ college I had to jump through hoops, and go through confusing (for me) mazes just to receive minute help. It was extremely overwhelming, and a lot of work, and because of that, I did not complete college  I would love to go back, and have assistance on so many things. However, that's not usually the case for adults. Another hard decision I have come to in my life is to either lie, or completely not say, is that I never say I have a disability. I have lost opportunities, jobs, and so much more because jobs, businesses, places of employment see the disability, and not me. Which means, I have be

Employment

I sat down today after my vacation to read an article about employment, and it caught my attention immediately! I read it over at 'The Mighty' website, and I linked it right here for you guys to read if you want:  https://themighty.com/2017/09/tips-for-hiring-an-employee-with-autism/ What got to me in the article is that less than a third of people who have Asperger's are employed. That does not surprise me because it took me forever to find a job. When I did get my first job, I had a very difficult time, and in fact still, do struggle at my current job. It is difficult because of the smells, the noise, and the constant talking to people that really drain me. I am very sensitive to lights, smells, people and noises, and grooming dogs is probably not the best environment for someone with Asperger's. Could I be in a better grooming environment with my diagnosis? I am sure, but I have yet to find one. One thing I feel like that could have helped me from the very be
