a lot of people who have neuro-diverse parterners do find it difficult sometimes, but the love is there none the less. you dont marry someone you can live with, you marry someone you cant live without. the only difference about getting the diagnosis is that you have a name for your difficulties, and...

Can I ask why it bothers you?

im not sure why it bothers me. i think its just things should be black and white, at least that's how i see it.

im just debating if the diagnosis would be helpful.

when i get that, its normally combined with sensory overload, or meltdown, so im sure if it is truly a panic attack, or just part of other things, but i feel like you describe. i find the best thing to do is to have something to eat, and rest for a bit, i sleep if i can, but i know its normally hard...

im awkward with religion. i try to live by the wiccan rede, and the 4 magical principals, just because i think it is a good way to live your life. as far as paperwork goes, i would generally say pagan, but i dont really fit exactly into any religion, including agnositc and athiest. the not fitting o...

personally i say that because of dyspraxia i am determined, adaptable, and a creativce thinker.

you wacth "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" and think why does that all seem so familiar. and when the drill sargeant calls right turn, and you go left, but evryone is so used to you, nobody notices. and you have more icepacks than food in the freezer. and you go to a friends house, and they have...

yes, i do that. i use music (either native american flute, or singing) to calm down when i am stressed or in pain.

i feel pain so much more than most people seem to, but i manage to hide it, sometimes even from myself. for example i will forget it hurts to stand up, untill i actually try to stand up, and i collapse. right now, i am damn sure i have fractured a bone in my face, and it hurts so much to do most thi...
