โTwice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said itโs in aisle โ6โ. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.
Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasnโt sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didnโt use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.
When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didnโt stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.
Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.โ

โI have Asperger's and that means I'm different from the norm.
At school I was always alone, without friends, I sat in a corner.
Still at home sick eating disorder.
It's all gone now, because I figured out where my path is.
Iโm not the angry little girl who screams in front of world leaders, Iโm not how some media portray me to be, Iโm a shy, studious girl, a nerd who cares about the present and future of the Planet and therefore my own.
I have found purpose in a world that often seems empty and meaningless to so many people. When haters get offended by your looks and difference, it means they don't know where to go. And you know you're winning.โ
