Utilized Echolalia as Self-Chatting for founding Inner Voice
In his last article (Echolalia and Self-Chatting Part 1), Shinichi wrote about how he chats with his inner voice through his echolalia. Nowadays, he effectively utilizes his echolalia as a tool to recognize his inner voice. To illustrate, Shinichi often asks himself as if another mind exists within him. In this success story, he encountered many issues.
Obeying His Inner Voice
In his childhood, his friends sometimes said, “You look like talking with an unknown person.” Some parents of autistic children, they may be concerned about this echolalia. But Shinichi did not go somewhere with their parents. In his 1st Grade primary school in Japan, Shinichi could not play with other children very well. But his both mothers allowed him to adventure. That might be incredible in the current era, on the weekend, Shinichi had been gone to the home where his current parents lived by train. His first mother gave him several coins to go to the home where his current parents lived. For such reason, Shinichi could memorize well complicated Tokyo Metro lines (In his era 8 lines). In 1989 in his 2nd Grade, Shinichi moved to a current parent home from his first mother. He had experienced spending time with his first mother and himself in two years. After beginning to live with his current parents, Shinichi had already his specific interesting mind in his 3rd Grade in primary school. Of course, his social skills were immature, but he had a lot of time hearing his inner voices.
Luckily, Shinichi could hear his inner voice. However, some social skills may require communicating with others. He has already obtained such skills as if sponges in his 20s. In the 1990s, Shinichi had never been diagnosed with ASD/ADHD. In 2000, Shinichi moved to Hokkaido from the Kanto Region (Including Tokyo) in the same graduated from high school (In Canada, 12th Grade). He often made mistakes in forgetting to deliver some homes when he was delivering newspapers. However, in 2004, he began to suspect that he might have ADHD because of Japanese TV broadcasting.
Before the Trip Going Canada, Leaving from Comfort Zone
In such situations, Shinichi always challenged some dream which desired his inner voice. For instance, in 2013, he could achieve going Canada as his first journey with ASD/ADHD. Before going trip, Shinichi was sometimes concerned about going to Canada safely. After finishing his work in a day, he whispered in his inner voice as follows,
“You can definitely go to Canada, you can do it!”
As a result, Shinichi could be successful in going to Canada in 2013.
Nowadays, in his 40s, Shinichi gradually has been realizing that is significant to reveal some of his dreams to others around him. For Shinichi, he wasn’t familiar with doing something with someone. However, some entrepreneurs and business owners would enhance his challenging minds. Shinichi would like to notice in his brilliant future.
