My 8 Moods Living With Autism.
For those that don't really know me. I have autism. I've been living with this ever since i was diagnosed with this when i was five years old and life has not been easy and people tend to misunderstand me a lot. So by producing these 8 photos I hope people will understand me better.
The first picture represents my happiness.
The second picture represents my normal emotion, which is just stoic and represents me not caring what people think.
My third picture represents sadness, I tend to feel sad sometimes and feel hopeless at times.
The Fourth picture is depression, I tend to get really depressed if something doesn’t go my way or if something goes wrong that I can’t control, and I get really down about myself.
The Fifth picture is anger. When I get angry, I don’t really know how to express my emotions so it just comes out as a lot of screaming, throwing stuff and I end up being uncontrollable which can be scary sometimes.
The Sixth picture represents my anxiety I get really anxious a lot, especially when I’m around a lot of people or if I’m under pressure and I tend to crack under pressure a lot and same as anger I get uncontrollable with my emotions and I lash out and run away and break down.
The Seventh picture represents loneliness. With autism, I have an extremely hard time making friends and talking to people. It is so bad that if I see somebody that I know, I’m scared to say hey to them or if its somebody I want to have a conservation with or be friends with I just chicken out all of the time and just look awkward, which I am trying to change but it’s a long process and it is very hard to do. The last and final picture is representing the hope that one day I can be able to be social, that I can get over my anxiety, that I can get over my depression and live a happy life one day. Living with autism is very hard and I hope this will help people better understand me and to other people living with autism, you are not alone. I would also like to thank the Foust building on UNCG campus for letting me install my work.
