Between Spectrums

Different Personalities

Hey Readers,

I like to apologize for not posting in a while. I was working as a field staff for the summer and I would work out in the field for two weeks. And when I was on break I would work as a transporter and work for pretty much all day. When I was working as a field staff, I would work with the spectrum group of boys. It was hard working with them because of their constant arguing, fighting, and complaining. That's expected cause they're teenagers, but there was more to that. They each were different from each other. In age, trait, personality, and why they were sent to the program. They do get along with each other, some more than others, but it can be tough to suddenly be put in a group where people have different way of thinking and doing things. But once they start to see the bigger picture they, little by little, started to work better together. I'm grateful to be there and to help these guys as they were making their journey to much better futures.

Each of us has different personalities and ways of thinking. Sometimes we get placed to a situation where we have to work with others and accomplish a task, goal, or build a relationship. People with autism may think and act differently, but they can still work with others in a way that be suits them. It's up to us to see how we can work with that. It might be weird and frustrating at first, but once you get to know them and recognize their strengths you can do wonders with them in almost any given situation.

Thank you for your time
