This is the third and final in a Autism & Asperger’s Syndrome Series of blog posts. The first covered what they are, signs/symptoms, diagnosis and treatment approaches and can be read here. The second covered Wonderful Websites and can be read here.
Below is a list of famous people (in alphabetical order) with Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome:
It was difficult to find many famous people who report that they are on the autistic spectrum. This might be because it is only relatively recently that we have begun diagnosing people with autism.
I recognise that people visiting this page/post might want to know where they can get support. If you require support around your mental health, addiction or physical health, see this Support page here.
I want to share with you this truly inspirational TED Talk video about Supergays around the world. This video shows positively what life is like for LGBT people around the world. Enjoy and be inspired:

Like any productivity journal the Inspire Now Journal has Pros and Cons. Here they are:
Pros
Its design is appealing – brown leather cover and ever every page has colour.
It’s dateless, meaning you can start using it at any time.
It has a 7 day week.
It prioritises tasks into: One task must be completed today, top three tasks and other tasks and actions.
It has inspirational quotes throughout. Including one for every day.
Daily pages also include the following sections: Reminders/Shopping Lists/Appointments, Reward for achieving goals, health & well-being actions, self-development actions and things I am grateful for today.
Weekly pages include the following sections: goals – split into categories (Career & Finance, Personal Development & Learning, Health & Wellness, Family & Social, Physical Environment and Spiritual), habit tracker and reward for achieving my goals this week.
Past Week Reflection pages include: big achievements this week were, how I was able to achieve these, next week I will take the following steps to avoid distractions, I learnt, I will use lessons I learnt last week to improve next week by and a Achievements Score (1-10) for the week.
It has Calendars for 2016-2019.
It has Month At a Glance pages.
It has a Birthday List page.
It has Long Term & Short Term Goal pages, along with Ideas & Notes pages to go with these.
It has a Savings Chart page, Debt Management pages, Payment Checklist pages, Project pages, Fitness Plan pages, Travel Checklist pages, Books to Read & Movies to See page, Contacts pages and Notes pages.
It has a bookmark ribbon and an elasticated closure.
Cons
The tasks & actions on the daily pages are too small to write in. I usually have to write over two lines.
No daily rating for achievements.
No specific section on daily pages for General Notes & Ideas.
There are undoubtably pages/sections that you wont use. For example, I will never use the Debt Management pages, Payment Checklist pages and Fitness Plan pages.
The planner only has 6 months worth of pages in it. However it would be impossible to make the journal any bigger.
The Inspire Now Journal is brilliant and a journal that I love. Once you get in the routine of using it, you will wonder how you have ever managed without it.
