| I'm not sure what hand-flapping is. I shake my arms when I feel weird, like sensory overload weird, but not sure if I do anything when I'm excited... well, if I'm really excited, I guess I hug myself and give a little hop. |

well, I took it. the metaphoric phrase section really stumped me, which is why there's only one phrase on my response.

| I'm vary encouraged after seeing my therapist. she doesn't know the welsh codes because she doesn't work with the MMPI-2 but she said I'm not a hypochondriac and my frailty has decreased and my self-awareness has increased significantly over the past year. she's not surprised the scales are elevated... |

| finding a roadmap for my future was one of the reasons I went for an assessment. I told the neuropsychologist up front that I want to know if I have AS because I want to rejoin the workforce and I want to know what impact it has on me so I can make better job choices, and that I was hoping to get a ... |

| my NT daughter saw me reading here one day and asked what wrong planet means, so I explained it to her that a lot of people with autism/AS feel like aliens because, so we feel like we were born on the wrong planet. she cried because she felt so bad that I didn't feel like the earth was my home. it w... |

| I have an art degree and I love to do art of all kinds. almost majored in ceramics, then in printmaking, simply because of the chemistry (literal, not figurative). in drawing and painting I'm drawn (no pun intended) to the science of light and color as well as the emotion conveyed in a line. I never... |

I just got home from a holiday party I had been looking forward to (albeit with some trepidation) and I'm frustrated by the fact that I felt so out of the loop during festivities. other people seemed capable of following multiple threads of conversations with ... |

| "Psycologically frail" does not sound like terminology that I'd want my psychologist using on anyone. the fact is, though, that after decades of domestic abuse + living in an abusive cult for 20 years, I am psychologically frail. 6 years of therapy has accomplished much healing, but I still have fa... |

| I also got 2 paragraphs of interpretation, but I had a driving need to know what it was based on. it says that my code type has weak insight into the psychological factors that underlie their somatic and cognitive symptoms. I guess I worry a lot about my body being so weird and having so much physic... |

I also had one done recently and got the code back with a bunch of interpretive language describing somatic and cognitive symptoms.
my code is 13 40'28+67-/59
I hope next week my therapist can explain it to me. I'm kind of annoyed that the Welsh coding system is so complicated. |
