Yes, of course (periodic table) (and I have a fascination for storms they make me feel amazing)

Actually my elder son is the answer to that. Even though the seizures made hi. Hreak his nose 2 times n now its not as graceful

It's beautiful that you feel that way about your son :) Sorry to hear about the seizures; personally, I like noses with "character".



Do you or did you ever have one person that really "gets you"?

Same q

Regrets: Yes. A coffee date in 2002 that led to disaster. Not spending enough time with my father.


I'm so sorry to hear about the date :( We're here for you if you need a bit of cheering up :)



The date was in 2002! I'm not referring to my current beau, and no cheering up is needed ... but thanks!! :heart:

I think my brother understands me and sometimes vice versa.
My sister understands me very well, but she also looks up to me... so she sometimes imagines me as better than I am just in her need to look up to someone.
My son's best nurse understood.


XH but he understands most people anyway. He is gifted in all respects, including perceptiveness.

There are people who don't understand a person that well but are very caring (in their hearts) and that in itself bridges the gap since they understand from the inside out.
That's most extraordinarily good people I realized.

Even my elder son if someone is going through a tough time is excessively comforting and caring and understanding, just his vibes and the way he looks at and approaches you...
Like the only thing he ever said was 'i love you too' prematurely to his dad when something really sad and horrible had happened to his dad, and his dad was talking to me about it. He never spoke before or since.

for example his therapist Bridgette last week after she got scammed in a big way after a car accident, said she cancelled all her clients except him,
because 'i like to keep people like ___ around, since he reminds me that angels exist and God's angels will take care of me' (but it ended up being a miracle, and simultaneously a blessing for ASD kids in Iraq, randomly, though the situation had nothing to do with that!)

And it all worked out though but the funny thing is that day she was going to meet the men who scammed her and give them a chance to make mends before getting the police involved, and she specifically said to my son (and a beam of light came in from the window as she said that, onto his face) that she wanted him to pray for her and ask God to make it okay for her and her daughter.
And he just smiled and kept looking intently in her eyes and kissed and hugged her. And I think if it's true that he understood, that maybe in his heart he did pray for her, for it to work out that random way that it did.


My meaning is that even if the person doesn't say anything, you can just tell with some people that they understand you completely.

What habits do you have that help you recalibrate, after a tough situation or a disorienting routine change?

I recalibrate by stimming, and looking at old photos of my grandparents or other ancestors. Doing ancestry research also helps because it reminds me of the passage of time. Everyone's life has a defined duration, contains hardship, and passes energy forth to others who carry on.

same question

Recalibration: Solitary time. Silience. Internet. Trying to remain in a low stress environment as long as possible. Focusing on ordering other aspects of my life that I do have control over such as: doing laundry, getting all work clothes ready for the week on the weekend before. Planning my week in my mind. Cooking. Taking my walk. Thinks like that.

Not sure. Used to be exercise of any kind. Still paying gym. Then the doctor messed me up ( confirmed it with another doctor, i don't think they can do anything as she said she tried but couldn't) and besides that the agoraphobia takes hold. Was hoping to get other ideas.

Laundry and other items needing executive functioning makes me worse, but i still do it but it makes me worse.
So nothing at the moment.
Same Q to someone else. :|
