Dear DS diary,I realize that the last few nights I have let some hugs, journal entries, and messages slip by.  Life has gotten in the way this week; I had a problem with leaking pipes underneath the...

Okay, so I've been able to take a step that my psychologist and social worker at the Lurie Center (it's a center that specializes in dealing with autistic people with complex problems) agreed I...

Dear DS diary,I am only labeling this a call for help because I really am confused by the kinds of thoughts I will try to talk about in this entry.So, I was on Skype with one of the few friends I...

Dear DS diary,In a sense, I can understand where the marathon bombing nightmares are coming from (see previous entry for details).  But last night, said nightmares took an unexpected and unwelcome...

Dear DS diary,I'm still having trouble sleeping through the night.  I keep waking up in the middle of the night, and it's usually rough enough to keep me awake for at least two hours.  It's small...

Dear DS diary,I have reached the point already where I really no longer give a (cuckoo) about the holiday season anymore, and it's only the 8th of the month.  It's still a good two weeks plus to...

Dear DS diary,This week, life was very hard on me.  We were shorthanded at work at lot, and that led to a lot of anxiety about whether we would finish what we needed to do on time.  In the course...

This is probably not going to make much sense but it seems to be all that my brain can do right now.My body seems to have found a new way to tell me I'm having an anxiety attack.  Usually I just...
