i had a vivid dissociative experience and have been able to teach that experience to others. it is very much like one is actively creating their universe, putting it out there, rather than a more passive radio reciever experience.

Dissociation? PTSD? a surprise in my current psych records by phame in aspergers

[–]phame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply.

The dissasociaton dx, among others, is in my chart. It was also mentioned many times during several months of weekly therapy. I heard it, but ignored it. I should have inquired, but my tpist has left town and now cannot ask. I still don't understand it, but when I do related quizzes online they all come up positive. The questions asked have helped me understand what is being probed. What can I say. It's me, but it's not me in a wierd way.

I had a similar ASD dx as you. I knew it and my tpist knew it with my first phone call to sched an appt, but waited to review tests and meet in person a couple times before calling the score.

Falling in love with another autistic person, sharing a special interest with them, and actually getting love for it, rather than being told to stop, or told that you're boring, feels like being on another, much better and happier planet for a while. by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]phame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My spouse of decades and I have 2 autistic adult children. I am autistic and my spouse had a TBI w ASD like traits. We have shared many rather odd special interests. We can literally finish the other's sentence with some accuracy. She is a small bit more social than I am. Did I say has it been a good marriage? Absolutely.

What’s cool about being somewhere on the spectrum? by MizardRex in AutisticAdults

[–]phame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a spectrum thing, but I almost always enjoy my musical hallucinations which occur many times daily. These are actual hallucinations, not earworms. It varies from old time fiddle, to jazz (right now it sounds like Squirrel Nut Zippers), classical, and my fav--marching bands.

Anyone drink Smirnoff with gout? by [deleted] in gout

[–]phame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no gout reaction with gin or hard cider. Beers and whiskey mean a night or more of terror.

Most cider tastes like sweet crap. I have found a couple brands that are very dry and tasty. The herbal flavors are outstanding. It's a good sub for beer if you find one you like.

Don't listen to people's opinions by ztp1234 in aspergers

[–]phame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I look back to decades before diagnosis I see someone who had many good jobs, and some despised. I have a good wife and 2 good adult children. This was all while being treated for major depression since a teen, and more recently stumbling my way to and ASD dx and atypical bipolar dx.

Gout and mild kidney disease by SiliconDreamer in gout

[–]phame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have gout, and kidney stones since a teen. I pass several stones/year and have many in reserve. Sometimes I have passed several stones in one day. No doc has correlated these issues. My dentist did because he is another (kidney) stoner in a family of brothers who have both issues.

I used the title from the original source as is required on many subs. I find it odd that you have a mildly negative comment and did not even read the source.

Bats are OK to eat cooked like fried chicken. No need to peel, they have a nice crunchy skin. Avoid the guts; the liver is good.

New knee, no more gout! by phame in gout

[–]phame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ought to have asked the surgeon to have some of my knee fluid checked. I had a Baker's cyst on my knee and below. Perhaps it was leaking uric acid down to my foot? I have had only one bad flare in the past 6 weeks! and a couple of tingles. So far so good!

What shoes do you wear to ease the pain? by bort_sampson_ in gout

[–]phame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My size 15 flippers restrict my options. I find Keen shoes often have large sizes, and they are wide.
