    • About Me

      I am an adult recently diagnosed with AS, my area of avidity is verbal I score in the 98 to 99 percentile which translates to the top 1% to 2% in the entire nation my capability to utilize this should have resulted in Children's Books but with a differential gap of being able to use it in actualizition at just 36% I have remained stuck. Right now I feel great frustration, even pain over the lack of adequate adult services. This is NOT a gifted life!! "Every man of genius sees the world at a different angle from his fellows, and there is his tragedy."

      A hundred shades of grey, with all the colour stripped away. Tear at me, tear at me, I start to fray. In all earnest I must say, that I just look @ …

    • Close Asperger Syndrome

      I just feel LOST!! I am trying to find my way!! So strange I have this condition which is considered complex but the me underneath loves simple things: patchwork quilts, wild roses in June, lilacs in May. I am waiting on God to point me in the direction HOME as I need to go there but right now I do not even know where that is! I do not want pity, I don't want to feel any of the uglies: anger, bitterness, blame, I just want to be me and to know that is o-kay. I am so weary...

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      Sometimes I feel I have done this far too much!! Still due to how I was mishandled, even mistreated there are times I feel the old RAGE infringing upon me but now I have context, I have WORDS for this thing!! So I allow myself to release it and feel the genuine pain I prefer this anguish over allowing that to own me and it NEVER will again!!
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      I hate the addictive quality but my PANIC can be so severe this really helps me to center and with my life in flux permits me to sleep!
      Pets Working / Worked
      My Maine Coon kitty Kindred ( BIG boy!! :) ) I often brush my face with his bushy tail very comforting.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      With LIMITED adult services, He is the ONLY one who can REALLY understand what this feels like for me!
      Talking Working / Worked
      Kelly who I felt an affinity with from the onset, knowing somehow she had the missing puzzle piece and could FINALLY take me back to a time & a place where I was 8 years old, she has been a MAJOR help as she has been involved with AS and even attended Temple Grandin's lectures!! Harbour Church Emma, Shawna, so much light & LOVE!!
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      This is helping I KNOW but my life is in such disarray which renders it less effective.
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      This is what I take NOT Zoloft but I can NOT seem to edit and remove that! Zoloft fid not work for me but Lexapro has indeed been helpful!
    • Close Sensory Integration Disorder

      I have Aspergers, with hypersensitivity! I was reading this and I could relate to so MUCH!
