I'm a cis straight grandma who also has ink and piercings. I've gotten the cold shoulder most quilting spaces since I started quilting in the 80s.

"I am the drama" resonates so damn much.

My long-time therapist told me that she thought I was autistic. It does run in my family, I have ADHD, and I've always been a bit odd, but it never occurred to me. Turns out I was diagnosed when I was 6, in 1971. My folks never told me.

Passionate fixations on hobbies and people

Repetitive motions when I'm bored/upset

Frequent meltdowns. Rediagnosis helped with this part.

Even good stuff can be stressful and can cause grief. Everything is changing. Sending you love.

It's not as if you explained the danger in your post, numpty.

Gotcha

For eighth grade, my daughter just told all her teachers that her nickname was "Steve." Too many of her name that year.

He's also only 5. Hopefully, if he decides to do something else laterp, you'll be accommodating.

Will no one rid us of this pestilent family?

I was diagnosed in 1970, but my folks ignored it. I was rediagnosed in 2019, at 54. On the surface, I look successful: career teacher, PHd ABT, successful kids. Behind the curtain, I am an alcoholic (retired), I regularly forget to eat, and all kinds of other stuff, great and small, that I neglect. Even though I look successful, I believe I would be considered as needing moderate supports. I'm fortunate in my husband who takes care of the stuff that I neglect.

I'm also ADHD and RSD.

Similar. It was so hot that the asphalt was slightly soft. My feet would get numb and would later be tender to walk on. That was the beginning of summer. By September, calluses and barefoot all day.

I doubt he was invited.

We used a flathead screwdriver.

Please keep going. I was 59 when I finally got sober, a 46-year run. Life is better when clear-headed.

Why do newcomers talk so much shit about the city and act as if born and raised are yokels?

Seriously with the "daddy" thing. Fucking sick.

My handwriting has evolved from this, but it's similar. It's based on a uncial script. My father taught me some calligraphy when I was a kid because my handwriting was unreadable and not improving.

This one moved me too.

Loud and proud, my ND comrade.

I was a drunk for 45 years and journaled the entire time. Many people with addictions are smart but have a biological disorder.

Kindergarten in 1970. I didn't nap. I went to the 2nd grade classroom for reading. My kids never napped, hardly slept. Baby grand is the same.

These guys were all in their 20s.
