HOW WORKING OUT AT THE GYM IS HELPING MY BODY

I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A PERSONAL TRAINER NAMED RYAN FOR ALMOST SIX MONTHS.  I HAVE BEEN GOING IN ONCE A WEEK FOR ONE HOUR SESSIONS.  I HAVE SEEN INCREDIBLE CHANGES IN MY BODY.  I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT I HAVE MORE BODY CONTROL AND MORE BODY AWARENESS.  I CAN FINALLY FEEL WHERE MY BODY IS.  CAN YOU IMAGINE NOT FEELING WHERE YOUR BODY IS AT ALL TIMES,  THAT YOU ARE FLOATING ALL THE TIME.  THAT IS HOW I FELT WHEN I WAS NOT TETHERED TO MY SERVICE DOG GUSTO.  MOVING MY LEGS FELT IMPOSSIBLE AT TIMES.  I FELT LIKE I COULDN'T GET TO WHERE I WANTED TO GO.  IT IS SO FRUSTRATING.  I WOULD GRAB THINGS THAT I WASN'T SUPPOSE TO GRAB BUT MY HANDS WOULD STILL GRAB THOSE THINGS.  MAKING PURPOSEFUL MOVEMENTS WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.  THIS WAS SO FRUSTRATING.  HAVING OUTBURSTS WERE THE WORSE.  I WOULD BE SCREAMING AT MYSELF TO STOP BUT THIS OUT OF CONTROL BODY HAD OTHER PLANS.  I WOULD FEEL ASHAMED OF MYSELF AFTERWARDS.   SUCH AWFUL FEELINGS AFTER A MELTDOWN OR OUTBURST.
I AM HAPPY I DON'T HAVE THOSE FEELINGS HARDLY ANYMORE.  I FEEL EMPOWERED WITH MY NOW CONTROLLED BODY.  I CAN NOW HELP MY MOM WITH CHORES.  WHAT AN AMAZING FEELING TO BE ABLE TO HELP OUT AROUND THE HOUSE AND IN STORES.
I THINK ALL AUTISTICS SHOULD WORK OUT AND FIND THEIR BODIES.  I HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU TO MY TRAINER RYAN FOR THE AWESOME WEEKLY WORKOUTS AND THE AWESOME MUSIC TO WORKOUT TO.
