Does anyone else's tummy "speak" to them when forced silence is about ie dr's surgery, for example?
Wish I could zone out, but doesn't happen; hyper aware instead.
Dr is not too bad actually and insisted on taking my blood pressure, which caused a frown on her face to appear and said: mmmm a bit high; are you anxious? I ascertained that indeed I was very anxious and she said, that was probably why my blood pressure was a bit high. Then the fun part! Why are you anxious? Are you like this all the time? Etc etc and due to feeling cornered I blurted out that I have aspergers and she said: are you not just timid? Then: I really do not think you have aspergers because I have a few autistic patients who I see and there is no comparison. I felt like I was put in a corner and had all fingers pointing at me! Not helped by hubby saying that I a like a horse and insist I have aspergers, despite not being professionally diagnosed! He did however add that aspergers is a different form of autism ( what? He confuses me lol) How come he knows, and yet acts like m enemy?
She says she thinks I need to see a psychiatrist and I explained that it would have to be in my native language. Agrees that the process for aspergers is long and complicated and there is no pill to take to cure it. Glad she said that, because my husband is more inclined to take her word for it, than my own.
He also said that he was not there to aid in the language ( for actually, I did pretty well lol) but there to support me and she said she understood.
I did not get the impression it was two against one though, which is ok but really do not like this tagging. So because I am not a classic case of autism, I am shot down that I can't be aspergers!!
Anyway, I am not going to further this; she has not insisted and thus I won't.
Now getting blood work done and so, we shall see.
I do not enjoy silence because it makes me horrendously nervous and hate the notion that I am timid lol
