    Favorite Sensory Overload Helps

    Listening to music, yoga, a walk or jog, a massage from my husband. Mostly I nap when I have been overstimulated, for some reason my body gets instantly tired and I just can not go on unless I take a short nap or at least lay down in the quiet for 20 minutes or so

    Dyslexia

    I do not have dyslexia, but my daughter does (she is not on the spectrum though). I am hyperlexic. I started learning what letters looked like at age 2 and by 4 I was reading and writing. When I left kindergarten I was reading on a 3rd grade level, but they wanted to hold me back because I was...

    Recurring silence

    I do this in a way. I don't always completely lose my words, I will say things that make absolutely no sense. But if it's someone that I don't live with that angers or frustrates me I can dissociate with them rather quickly. I just rather not deal with it. The only people I can not do this with...

    Anxiety

    I agree with all suggestions. i want to add I took up yoga about 4 years ago, when I practice for a few minutes each evening and when I get up in the morning, everything seems to go much smoother for me. My anxiety levels lessen greatly. It's also really hard for me to sit still to mediate but I...

    Who Initiates Social Contact?

    I would say 50/50, but I have only have one friend. I actually care about her so i will text her and call her if I haven't heard from her in a while. She gives me my space and I do the same in return. It works out nicely. I also have a neighbor who will come down for a talk, but she is very...

    Special Ed- Would it have made a difference?

    I am so sorry you went through that. My son says the lack of bullying at his school is the biggest and best change. Plus the small classrooms help too (6 students to 3 teachers) I had to fight our school district to change my son's placement, but it was worth it. In hindsight I wish I would have...

    What song are you listening to right now?

    I've been listening an awful lot to Tegan and Sara this week.

    Special Ed- Would it have made a difference?

    I highly recommend trying mainstream classes first. Especially if the child does not have a load of behavioral issues. Make sure the child has a teacher who is open to making modifications as needed and has a good understanding of what the child's unique needs are. We do not have our child...

    Hi

    Thank you. The whole point of me joining is to know that I am not so abnormal. Well, in the eyes of society I am not exactly normal LOL But you get my point. After researching what Aspergers looks like in female adults I am confident that's what's going on with me. I have been labeled with...

    Hi

    Hi, everyone, I am new to the forum, but not to Aspergers. I am a 33 year old mother to a 14 year old Aspie. He was diagnosed at 10 years old. We live in the United States. My husband and I also suspect I may be on the spectrum somewhere as well. For the past 4 years or so one of my...
