J\u2019ai beaucoup aim\u00e9 am\u00e9nager un espace qui fonctionne pour moi.

C\u2019\u00e9tait bien d\u2019avoir le contr\u00f4le sur mon espace. Il n\u2019y avait pas de pression pour d\u00e9m\u00e9nager en une seule journ\u00e9e, donc moins de stress et de surcharge. Je n\u2019avais pas \u00e0 m\u2019envahir de bo\u00eetes ou \u00e0 devoir d\u00e9baller tout en une fois. J\u2019avais le temps de r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir pour d\u00e9cider o\u00f9 placer les choses pour que \u00e7a fonctionne bien pour moi. Ce d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement au ralenti m\u2019a aussi permis de recevoir de l\u2019aide de ma famille et de mes amis, au lieu de devoir engager une entreprise de d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement et d\u2019avoir affaire \u00e0 des inconnus. \u00c7a ne d\u00e9range pas mes amis si je r\u00e9fl\u00e9chis avant de choisir o\u00f9 je vais d\u00e9poser une bo\u00eete, mais un d\u00e9m\u00e9nageur pourrait \u00eatre moins patient.<\/span><\/div>[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Trouver un logement \u00e9tait une exp\u00e9rience positive.

Un processus clair et transparent pour trouver un logement a \u00e9t\u00e9 utile. Vu qu\u2019il est de plus en plus difficile de trouver un logement ad\u00e9quat, ce n\u2019est pas toujours garanti.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Des r\u00e8gles claires et un espace r\u00e9serv\u00e9 pour le camion de d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement m\u2019ont permis de ma\u00eetriser mon anxi\u00e9t\u00e9 par rapport \u00e0 la crainte de mal faire ou de provoquer la col\u00e8re de mes nouveaux voisins. En plus, j\u2019avais acc\u00e8s \u00e0 un concierge pour poser des questions, ce qui \u00e9tait vraiment bien!<\/span><\/p>\n

J\u2019ai peint ma chambre d\u2019une couleur de p\u00eache \u00e9clatante, parce que c\u2019est une couleur qui \u00e9voque pour moi la joie autiste.
J\u2019ai plac\u00e9 du plastique \u00e0 bulles dans les fen\u00eatres pour r\u00e9duire les pertes de chaleur, m\u00eame quand j\u2019oublie de fermer les rideaux le soir.
Quand j\u2019ai r\u00e9am\u00e9nag\u00e9 la cuisine, j\u2019ai fait un inventaire des objets et un plan des tiroirs pour les ranger de la mani\u00e8re la plus efficace possible.<\/p>\n

J\u2019ai enlev\u00e9 ma table de salle \u00e0 manger et install\u00e9 une barre de gymnastique, qui m\u2019est plus utile.
J\u2019ai une salle sensorielle d\u00e9sign\u00e9e.
Il y a une balan\u00e7oire sensorielle \u00e0 chaque \u00e9tage.<\/p>\n

J\u2019ai du ruban adh\u00e9sif sur mon comptoir pour s\u00e9parer les \u00e9l\u00e9ments des repas et les bo\u00eetes \u00e0 lunch, pour m\u2019assurer de faire des repas complets.
J\u2019ai des \u00e9tiquettes et des contenants dans mon r\u00e9frig\u00e9rateur, les condiments dans les tiroirs et les aliments p\u00e9rissables dans la porte.
Il y a des outils visuels pr\u00e8s de la porte d\u2019entr\u00e9e pour ne rien oublier.<\/p>\n

Dans l\u2019entr\u00e9e, il y a des crochets au lieu de cintres. C\u2019est moins difficile pour ce qui est des fonctions ex\u00e9cutives.
Il y a des gradateurs sur la plupart des lumi\u00e8res ou des sources d\u2019\u00e9clairage alternatives.
Il y a des r\u00e9serves d\u2019objets sensoriels \u00e0 chaque \u00e9tage.<\/p>\n

J\u2019ai plac\u00e9 des paniers \u00e0 linge \u00e0 chaque \u00e9tage pour que je puisse habiller mes enfants n\u2019importe o\u00f9, sans ajouter des \u00e9tapes \u00e0 la routine.
J\u2019ai des couvertures chauffantes, un chauffe-serviettes et des coussins chauffants.
Les lampes sont connect\u00e9es \u00e0 mon t\u00e9l\u00e9phone, pour ne pas que j\u2019aie \u00e0 me lever \u00e0 chaque fois.<\/p>\n

J\u2019ai des fournitures de bureau dans la cuisine, parce que j\u2019aime travailler debout et c\u2019est l\u00e0 qu\u2019il y a le plus de lumi\u00e8re naturelle.
J\u2019ai des tabourets s\u00e9curis\u00e9s pour les enfants et nous mangeons au comptoir.
J\u2019ai plusieurs calendriers et horaires pour le nettoyage, les \u00e9v\u00e9nements, le garde-manger, la planification des repas, etc.<\/p>\n

Mon habitat change et \u00e9volue en continu pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 mes besoins et \u00e0 ceux de mes enfants.

Quand j\u2019avais une id\u00e9e, il me disait si elle \u00e9tait r\u00e9alisable, me parlait des aspects importants du point de vue de la construction ou s\u2019occupait de planifier le travail et les ouvriers.

I have never had a place I could truly unmask. If I rented a place, it wasn’t mine it was the landlords so I still felt compelled to act in the role of ‘tenant’ even when alone in the home; or ‘roommate’ or ‘child\/family member’. It has been a very purposeful act of unlearning to make my home truly mine. I still struggle to unmask in my own home – I still have to put in cognitive effort to give myself that permission. It’s a really unusual thing to have something made exactly as imagined and the satisfaction of walking into a room and it being completely as you envisioned. There is so much compromise and misunderstanding as part of the Autistic experience; I will sit on my sofa and just smile looking at my kitchen. My home is the only place in the world made for me and designed to work with my authentic self; and any part that isn’t I get to change.[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]I’m grateful to have found housing that is semi-affordable (when in conjunction with another person).

How even after all the work I have put in that I’m still not always confident I can exist in my current space. How the onus of requesting those things or explaining things often is on the person who has needs – and then also how those needs are misinterpreted. More than once in having conversations with housemates or neighbours I’ve wished that they could just *experience* what things are like for me – to create empathy and understanding in particular. And I wish that the onus of this didn’t fall to the person impacted – who is often trying to have these conversations at a time they are impacted and activated. I’ve wished for entire houses and neighbourhoods for people with similar needs to relieve the pressure of trying to explain things and not feel crazy or like “too much”.[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_slider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
