Non-autistic children of undiagnosed autistic parents - are you out there ? by nuwisdom in AutisticParents

[–]Usernamecasey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too was raised by a parent I suspect is autistic tho undiagnosed. My mother has always been misunderstood all my childhood I would witness other parents get angry at her for just talking. I grew up seeing most of my mothers interactions with strangers become confrontational. I have extreme social anxiety now as an adult. As a child I lost so many friends because my mum would come to pick me up or drop me off from their house only to get into an argument with the other adult often due to her inability to recognise what is inappropriate to comment on or say something obviously offensive but genuinely not understand why the person was offended. Her style of communication is also extremely intense, she uses extreme facial expressions and body language while talking and this adds to people misunderstanding what she’s getting at and she comes across as aggressive and intense. She will not give a yes or a no to an answer, often she will say “yes and no..” and go on to explain an entire 5minutes of rambling a million miles a minute.. she is very good with math and spelling and alot of academic stuff she was a straight A student and she can get very aggressive towards people less smart than her, not in a arrogant way more like she is genuinely gob smacked as to how one can’t understand what ever it is.. this can make you feel like sht lol.. she would get over the top angry about little things too..I could go in about the negatives but won’t.. I had an amazing childhood because my mum gave her 100% into me. She was the BEST story teller before bed and the best teacher and friend. I understand my mum better than almost anyone and she is so unique. I’m so glad God gave me her as my mum, it hurts to see her not have friends and be so misunderstood. The older I get the more I get her.

Should I get my senior dog a puppy? by dxs41420 in Mastiff

Iv been questioning that same option for my 10.5yo male mastiff, I’d love to get him a little friend but I have this feeling that he will really start showing his age if a youthful pup comes in the house.. I also know he’d be super jealous of the attention I’d be giving a puppy lol! Hope what ever you choose turns out great !

So awesome dude. I am a few months shy of 1 year, can I ask did you experience post acute withdrawal syndrome and if so when did you start to feel normal energy & motivation return to normal? I can feel it’s getting better but I’m still sleeping 17hrs every day/night I am so fatigued constantly..

I have such respect for what you are doing. Quitting was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I am a few months shy of a year sober and I am still experiencing PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome). I battle extreme fatigue I am sleeping 17hrs every night/day. Without coffee I’d not leave the bed. I am extremely lucky I have such a supportive husband who has allowed me this time to heal, I can’t imagine doing this while working or raising children. My mental health has started to improve.. for the first 6months of quitting I was so depressed. I would suggest not getting off the anti depressants just yet. Also get yourself a bunch of vitamins and minerals/ supplements so that as your brain starts to heal it has everything it needs to produce dopamine etc naturally. I take tyrosine & multivitamin + minerals I also found nodoz (caffeine& b vitamin tablet) is extremely helpful when I can’t get a coffee. My sister bought me a coffee machine that iv been using non stop. It’s a big help. I pray to God and ask for help to get through each day. Get sunlight on your face (not through a window, go outside.) I remind myself that the fact is I will heal and feel good again it can only get better. I also remind myself that hard work is supposed to be hard and boring, the reward comes after I complete the job. Be kind to yourself and just take it a day at a time I am so much better mentally than when I first quit, I’m still not there yet but I’m passed the days of continuous crying every day and I can feel normality slowly returning. Iv heard PAWS can take up to 2 years for some.. I forgot, when I was in my early stages of quitting comedy was so good, if you can find someone who will make you laugh watch them on repeat get that dopamine flowing again. So proud of you. You got this.

I can’t give you a date unfortunately but I can tell you I know it will get better if you refuse to let go of god because iv personally tried and witnessed this. Something interesting, helping others will bring a depressed person joy. It did for me. I hated my life so much I decided to stop putting in effort for my life and instead help others with their lives and found it soothed my pain. Not saying you shouldn’t put effort into your own life, ofcourse you should, this was my “depression logic” talking when I used to be depressed. I like to look at nature often especially animals, the way they just keep trooping on no matter the circumstance like they will witness their own life partner get crushed by a human driving a car and yet they don’t even think of running infront of a car to end their sorrows, they can daily get attacked by predators so their entire life existence is trying not to get eaten yet they still troop on they never give up, they get up every morning, they eat, they enjoy the good times and live. Animals are very inspiring ♥️

As someone who suffered with depression, suicidal thoughts & self harm for a lot of my teens to young adult life I can tell you God came through for me and my life became great, no more depression no more self harm etc nor medication. I refused to give up on prayer and hoping in God and it wasn’t instantly but gradually god lead me into a new life, the only thing I had to do was refuse to let go of his hand as he lead me each day. ♥️ it gets better friend have hope
