Hi guys
I emailed my therapist and she never got the email therefore in today's session I copy and paste my email to her in text and she read it. We had a talk.
1. She said that she did not roll her eyes then she said that I am not reading body language. SHe said that she is visual and I said I am too. She said that I am very visual which is true (more than normal, I am very visual). She stated that she is visual when asked a question or someone talking to them they look up to think. She said I am going to give you a test. SHe asked me a question and shore enough I looked up to think and covered my face. She laughed and said that is what I mean. SHe said a bunch of things that I cannot remember right now.
2. She and I spoke about autism and body language and communication, two of my weaknesses and frustration. She and spoke about a few times I was clueless and thought something was not good when it comes to others YET she spoke to me about their is a danger because some people will take disadvantage of me.
3. Today we spoke and she is funny because she laughs because what she says makes me think. Communication is hard work and I do not know how people do it.
4. SHe and I discuss talking/verbal Vs emailing or texting and why it is easy for me to email or text easily and talking/verbal is so hard and I am more frustrated when doing and to read others etc is so hard.
5. what she said makes sense and I think I am understanding her more and know why she does certain things. Today we talk and she teached me things.
WHat was bording me from day one is that after a few months in which she apologized and explain things got better BUT something was wrong on my end YET, I liked her from some reason. It was puzzling me and I was clueless. BUT what she said today made sense. Guys, I have a long way to go. I still think that I am broken. Thanks for been there for me everyone I appreciate you. I am tried and going to lay down. I will long on again and read others and be supportive today is a long day for me.

Holy cow, rose, how good for you to persevere and get answers item by item to sort this out with your therapist! I'm SO proud of you for not giving up, not just blaming yourself, your autism, whatever, and being so brave instead! Yoo-hoo! Yes, you may be broken--we all are here--but you're brave, my friend.

And so are you and everyone here on DS. It was werid but my case manager at least the main one keep saying that I am her favorite client and one reason she stated is what you say, I do not let my challenges limit me I keep challenging me to do and be better, Yet she will be the first one to say her health is where I stop. SHe lectures me a lot to take breaks and not add to me. She said that she wants me around. SHe and a few others I met last year due to covid has been trying to teach me the balance that I need to keep alive by not overdoing and cause my health to keep declining. Muji I do not deserved it all. I do not see myself as anything BUT my case manager remains me at time God is with me and He is opening door. I feel the same way with DS that God loves us, pain may hurt us etc BUT God does. He cries when I do or anyone who was hurt. WHen I was a child I was hurt badly BUT I remember i had faith and each time I cries it rain hard and I felt like I was not crying alone. I am glad to be on DS and you and the others are priceless and has such kindness and love. Sometimes I am afriad because of you all here on DS and I think it is not real, you guys aren't BUT you guys are real and has a lot to offer this world. Everyone on DS matters and the support here is priceless and noted. I am bless because you and everyone here on DS.. Today I am in pain physical pain alot BUT I smile each time I see an email from DS. I may not log on right away BUT I know you guys are thinking of me and not just me but each others. DS is the best.
