My dear mother has just informed me that my 'twitching' sometimes freaks the family out but they don't tell me because they don't want to hurt my feelings. Thanks a lot. It's called stimming. My medication enhances my previously unknown Aspie side, as I've TRIED to explain.
And no, Mom, it is
not the same as my youngest sister twitching and shuddering because she has to eat food she doesn't want to eat. Pure princess pickyness.
I would love for her to understand and be patient with me. Feeling unloved.
What a day.

At least they're trying not to hurt your feelings. My husband calls me 'twitchy'. I've told him several times I do not like being made fun of, but he always seems to 'forget'. *sigh*
I see what you mean, but this was in the same vein as "Don't point out
her twitching, you do the same thing. And
you're the one that freaks us out." My sister squirms because she has to eat the crab meat, like she went to the bother of 'peeling' the red part off.

It's totally not the same thing.
