Post Reply New Topic

Within the past few months, I began to see a new therapist. Originally, she was under the impression that I was afraid to leave my house. I began to explain to her that it was not fear; I spoke of my issues with noise and how it an be painful, how I react to change in environment, how people frustrate and confuse me... As I described these things and more, she listened and then told me that I sound like her daughter (an aspie) and asked me if I knew anything about Aspergers. Currently my diagnosis is psychosis nos; I will be seeking a doctors diagnosis (focus on Aspergers) within the next month. Up until now, I have had several diagnosis thrown at me (ocd, depression, rapid cycling bi-polar, dissociative issues, schizophrenia) and have been unsuccessfully mediated for most of them. I am hopeful that my therapist is correct, as for the first time in dealing with health care professionals, something someone has said finally makes sense.

That aside, I am a 32 year old, married mother or four (two mine, two his). My mother is not diagnosed with Aspergers, but if she were to speak with someone about it, I have a belief that she could be. My biological children (both girls, one age 12, one 13) are neuro typical, as is my husband and his biological children (a son age 14, and a daughter age 7). It is interesting to me that the thing that led me to my current therapist is my husband. He and I were having what he called, 'communication problems'. We went in for couples therapy and each got out own people to work on our individual problems first. We discovered I might have this and he might be bi-polar. He and I are both more than willing to figure out what we need to do to make this work, and both relieved that there is likely more to our issues than petty, surface nonsense. We now have some direction... it's nice.

Before I end up going off on some long winded, self focused tangent, perhaps I should simply say that I have enjoyed browsing these posts. It is not every day that I read the thoughts of others and actually get it. Thank you and hello.

Hello, and welcome to what hopefully is the right planet for you.

Hello, and welcome greetings to the Wrong Planet neighborhood, dossa.

A belated welcome dossa.

My gf is psychotic (Juvenile Psychosis, treated with Risperdal) and I am Asperger. It can be done (lol).

Thank you and thank you.

All of the welcomes are making me feel welcomed. Now if I could just be as compelled to join in on other topics in the same way that I am compelled to reply to the welcomes... Heh. I'll have to work on this.
