I just got to know about Asperger's a very few months ago, (Edit: and I think I could have it, I have a lot of issues described that explain all my troubles, but can't be sure 100% they are Asperger's related, of course. I thought I need to add this little specification.) so now I'm in a process of understanding how I function and what are my limits, I analyse everything I do, everything I feel and, honestly, right now I feel like I have a lot of problems with everything!
I suppose it's a natural reaction to the discovery of the reason of all my troubles and I believe it will get better soon.
Well, in fact my sensory issues are pretty mild. Little bit of light, little bit of taste, usual stuff. What really drives me crazy is screaming children and high-pitched voices (usually female), speaking loudly. And sudden loud noises make me jump. Oh, and light touch, hate it!
The social part is a big problem for me. Always a struggle. I'm not completely alone, I have a husband. And my husband is a musician, so during last years I got to know really a lot of people. I enjoy going sometimes to rock-concerts (if I like the music, of course), got to know a lot of cool people but still can't make friends. Even with people I like very much, still have a problem with talking. Sometimes I feel very brave and full of energy, then I can initiate a conversation - yaaay! - and in 5 minutes I don't know what to say anymore. Plus I have sometimes a trouble understanding what people (in a group conversation) are talking about, I hear words, understand them, but can't catch a line of the talk, like they all have some secret code that everyone knows but me... Oh, and anxiety, my old friend.
Last year I finally got close to a girl who became a very good friend and accepted me with all me quirks, but two months ago she moved out of the country. Yep, I'm this lucky!
And of course, my demon, jumping out on me unexpectedly the moment I turn my back - meltdowns. They are very destructive. Now, that I know what it is, with all the information available online, I'm practically watching the beast in his natural habitat and trying to figure out ways to deal with him. It gives me hope!
(maybe I had to keep it shorter...)
