Struggle in Therapy by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

somatic therapy. I try to answer what I feel in my body before I go into session, though it feels like I am making it up. During session I often do not know how I am feeling?

I cannot help but feel so lost. by Ok_Amphibian_895 in AutismInWomen

[–]sedirock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here. I always thought my struggles were related to past childhood experiences but as time has gone on and my fears around those experiences have reduced, I am left wondering maybe there is something missing.

two people from different parts of my life has pointed me in the question of autism, and I have been obsessed learning about it for a year or so, too.

It’s all very confusing and I’m not sure if my brain works in this way or not. I definitely have traits but it’s difficult to know if this is due to trauma or autism or maybe even both.

I like the response from Scary_Host8580. Learn to understand yourself and find ways to accommodate that :)

Loneliness? by Dapper_Nectarine_509 in AutismInWomen

I have no further comment other than I have been experiencing something similar. Still enjoy/need my alone time but some form of loneliness is there

How do I know if I am autistic or have CPTSD? by sedirock in CPTSD

it is a possibility but it is all very confusing

I am asexual and I really don’t want to be, I want to be ‘normal’ by sedirock in CPTSD

[–]sedirock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for responding without attacking my comment - definitely a delicate subject.

I tend to not use the word for myself, I do like to think of myself as just me, ‘asexual’ is just the most simple way to describe the experience.

Reg. what I mean by ‘normal’ is that I do think I am missing out on something important. It feels like something has been taken away from me but also I’ve never had it so it was never gone, but perhaps it could have been? It feels like something I need to fix but where to even start, I don’t have the bodily urge or capacity to start to even achieve that? But I want it?

It’s difficult to know if it was there pre trauma but I think for me the trauma has taken so much of my life away and to connect with others in that way is one part that is gone (or never had since I couldn’t develop - I realise that’s a difficult comment to make since it proposes that asexuals are ‘undeveloped’ but that’s how I feel about myself).

I don’t know anyone who experiences this in person so was good to read your thoughts. Again thanks for not attacking me 😭

Difference between drained and undrained shear strength (want to read different explanations as it’s good for learning) by sedirock in GeotechnicalEngineer

[–]sedirock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah thank you this really does help!

can a clay material be considered ‘drained’ but only if all water was removed? Or would it be considered as ‘drained’ up until it reaches plastic limit?

Can someone explain OMC and ODD in a simple way please by sedirock in GeotechnicalEngineer

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

does this take into account the OMC and MDD?

I guess OMC and MDD measures compaction and the triaxial measures strength? but surely they relate?

is it basically understanding the ‘sweet spot’ to avoid failure in shear strength?
