    • About Me

      I used to have passions; now I have complacency. I am trying to revive a long dead and dying psyche, but recently, miraculously, I have been having some minimal sucess. A glimmer perhaps?

      Hope you are doing well habibti ;-) I saw this and thought of you because of your brothers: http://www.king5.com/video/evening... my son's doctors, well two of them are mentioning mild autistic traits for him - but the developmental one is saying no... anyways he is not really verbal but it is nice to think about what is going through their head. He has PVL, and severe epilepsy & will be 3 in Nov. Anyways I just thought I would share as it made me happy.

      From Keleclectic September 22

      Hi!
      This is a very tough time. One thing I have done is a wirte a letter to my therapist then take it in or drop it off before coming in. she has better clarity of what's going on and i am able to stick to my thoughts without worrying about the clock. Sometimes it is easier for us to express ourselves to others without being in the same room with them. Visual cues can hinder a productive session. When people socalize, they naturally watch the expressions of reactions of others. If an expression or reaction from the receiving party (therapist in this case) looks uncomfortable then we tend to suck it in and find a more comfortable subject to discuss. That's part of human nature. However this can lead to miscommunication,misunderstanding and screwed up diagnosis. Medical people are trained to think objectively and keep subjective observations down to a minimum. If you don't convey what's going on, then they are left on their own to decide what's going on. Start a paper journal and take it in for him or her to read.
      Best wishes!

      From my decades of experience;BP seems to occur only to the exceptionally gifted or intuative. We feel and handle what would crush the so-called 'normally smart' person in a micro-second. Reality: I would also love to 'be more' in my life and can relate but am no longer jealous of what I dont have.-take good care-xxx

      Story? In 500 "words"? Lol. No, even I'm not that sad. I am a university student who has only recently recovered functioning after successive breakdowns; now I struggle with stigma, regaining ambitions, options, and the passions I once had.

    • Open Autism / Autism Spectrum

      I have two brothers with autism. One is completely mute and the other is not. They both have severe intellectual and behavioral problems. The shame I feel b/c of them is unimaginable.
