I am instantly calmed by the sound of a cat purring, preferably coupled with the texture of said cat's fur. :)

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

water sounds soothe me. My art teacher says that females love water because it has something to do with at the begining of life on earth, all life was female and aquatic before more complex species came along needing a wider gene pool which required males.
