Hi everyone its Fiona here

Happy new year to you all

As its a new year its time to set myself a new challenge so in february i will be doing the move28 challenge to help raise funds for the national autistic society

A bit about me and my story - im Fiona 37 and I live in craigie in perth. In 2017 I was diagnosed with aspergers. The diagnosis came as a relief as I always wanted to find out more about the learning difficulties I have. Since I was wee I have always had a condition called soto syndrome- this is a rare condition that effected me mostly as a child as i was always a bit taller, and more clumsy/flexible than my piers and it takes me longer to complete tasks and learn or process new information. As an adult the characteristics of sotos can overlap with the characteristics of aspergers and thats how my diagnosis of aspergers came about

My life has changed for the better I now have a really good support network of family,friends and i attend a local autism support group in perth and the support from them all is amazing

I want to give something back and help raise funds for the national autistic society as I know the various challenges aspergers can bring. I want to raise awareness and help other people in similar situations to me

Thank you all so much for everyone's support

This February, I'm taking part in the move 28 minutes a day in February challenge in aid of the National Autistic Society.

The National Autistic Society are there to help the 700,000 autistic people in the UK and their families - be it running specialist schools, campaigning for improved rights or training companies on being more autism-friendly, they are dedicated to transforming lives and changing attitudes.

Your donations towards my efforts are greatly appreciated and not only that, but they will also be a huge help in creating a society that works for all autistic people and their families, thank you! 💜
