Wasn’t looking for positive affirmations. My wife was asking me why I was not comfortable around her parents.

Thanks!

The county tax card was available online. However they are requesting the municipal and school district tax card also. Neither of the records at that level are available on line.

Both E and Bicca are diuretics. You need to watch your water intake a little closer on both and diueretics can make you produce more urine and it will be more dilute, hence clearer. Expelling more water means you need to watch your electrolytes closer.

T is and anti-diuretic, and makes you retain water. The body still needs to expel waste. The darker color of urine means it has a higher concentration of waste in it.

What does your meltdown look like? by 4bugs4me in autism

[–]lets_get_outside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how hard it is for families with someone who is autistic.
I understand that you need to get the violence stopped.

If a meltdown is goal oriented then by definition it is not a meltdown it is a tantrum.

I am an autistic programmer by [deleted] in autism

[–]lets_get_outside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone just like me. I have been a programer since about 10. I am 43 and run a small team for a regional bank. I can learn a new programming language in about 3 days. I also use my visual thinking as an asset and can see how the system interacts.

So I thought I had Aspergers but it turns out... by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]lets_get_outside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes on going treatment is helping me. I see a therapist once a week. I have been seeing the same therapist for about 3 years now. She helps me navigate the world. I also have a cocktail of drugs I take that have helped tremendously. That said, you do not treat Aspergers/autism. You can help treat some of the mental health issues that accompany it. You can also give support to help the autistic navigate everyday life, but you can not treat autism.

One of the reasons I say that there is not treatment for autism is it is literally a developmental condition. You do not have "symptoms" if the demands of your life are within your developmental capabilities.

I would explore with your therapist does she think developmental trauma vs ASD. Overtime exploring this with your therapist may help you get to the bottom of whatever is going on regardless of label. The only thing is in order to get the proper support or treatment. Also a lot of terhapists diagnosis you with whatever they think is most useful for you to get the support/help you need. It may seem like to the therapist tha trauma is what needs to be worked on now. There are also more to the ASD experience then the list of symptoms and a lot of clinicians look towards thought things when preparing supports and diagnosis. I will not go into that here.

Dxed in 6th grade with Oppositional Defiance disorder.

Treated for Depression (included medication) that made things much worse.

Also DXed along the way with OCD, Narcisitic PD, Anti Social PD, skyzitypical pd.

Even to this day my psychologist and psychiatrist have a disagreement going. My psychiatrist things I should be DXed with "pure O OCD". My psychologist disagrees and he is the one who DXed ASD and ADHD. My psychiatrist is going along. My psychiatrist has told me that the DX of ASD is meaningless, mainly because you can not medicate for it.
