So i was at a therapist about a year and a half ago and was told i most likely am an aspie. This is very confusing to me. I have questions but before i can get to them i feel a bit of backstory is needed.
I’m going to start at the beginning of my story. It’s not pretty has many missed chances along with it being a perfect story of those falling through cracks and may trigger some. When i was a child my ped tried to get me into the glenrose, which is a place for kids to get diagnosed. My dad refused at every single turn. I cant blame him after the issues with my ADHD diagnosis. I got violent to an extreme on the medications they tried. Looking back i really wonder, but i digress. I had issues with being bullied, withdrawing (i always had a book and would rather do that then hang out with kids my own age) i would get along better with the younger kids or those in special needs which often lead to me being ridiculed and mocked. It got bad enough that i was chased up the backstop for the school baseball diamond by my classmates. The school board responded with “she has to learn to defend herself” I moved schools, things got better for the most part. I still mostly hung out in my own little world. Having wild adventures and at times believing they really happened. |

Yes, you could be an aspie. The only way to be sure is a proper diagnosis, though. I'm sorry you were bullied...

You could be on the spectrum, only a professional would know. Now Asperger's is technically considered ASD level 1.

So I’m my haste yesterday i forgot to ask my questions. Since i have no clue how to go back and edit here they are
Until i get a proper diagnosis I’m looking for ideas on things i can add to my tool box to help me get through to the specialist Ways to handle going shopping and not being overwhelmed Ways to handle the fact that i need a certain weight and be wrapped just right blanket wise Ways to maybe cope with textures, mainly food. I love the taste of many foods but cant eat them a lot of the time because the texture sets off my gag reflex Things like that. |

Not sure about the shopping and food, but they do sell weighted blankets. I'm not sure how much they cost, but I hear they are very helpful for people on the autism spectrum.
