    Pulling out hair - is it hurting him?

    My autistic brother Ikey lives in a group home. He hasn't been taught how to shave himself. The staff there rarely do it for him; they have the barber do it when he gets a haircut. He doesn't like having a beard, so he pulls the hairs out by hand. You'll often see him with big bald spots, which...

    Hypersensitivity to Pain

    One thing I've struggled with is being 'hyperaware' of when something seems wrong healthwise or when I have pain. Judging by some of the posts I often see here, I'm assuming there are some of you that can relate? TOO often I'll have acute awareness of some sort of irregular pain or "feeling...

    Another Day, Another Shutdown

    Hi. My entries are being more frequent as I'm crossing a very complicated emotional phase that I'm not knowing how to control it no matter how I mask and rely on my created self. First, since my grandmother died, we're in a very delicate economical situation that are making me rethink my stay...

    I don't get people

    Humans are so difficult for me to deal with. They are exhausting at work. Even the nice ones. I wish I could work in a quiet cubicle away from everyone. I work where crowds of people are and I'm realizing more and more how it effects me when I get home. I'm amped up. My nerves are itching all...

    My journey through pain. What do you do about it?

    So, something I've been battling for quite awhile now is chronic pain. A long time problem, really. Nerve and tendon issues and even some arthritis in my neck (and I'm waaaaayyyyyyy too young for that). Much of the time, it takes the form of arm or neck pain. Shooting or travelling pain (due...

    How do y'all handle death from someone close to you?

    My mother died today and we will be going out of town to her funeral. Funerals have always been very difficult for me and many times I have gotten out of going to funerals just because all the emotion and feelings seemed to really mess with me. I wondered if this was an aspie thing or just me. I...

    weight

    Sometimes, I'm so overwhelmed that I shut down. The words don't want to come, and everything feels overstimulating, and all I feel like I can do is space out. No thoughts really. Not much feelings either, or so it would seem to an outsider. Really though, it's like the volume is turned to a...

    Remembering years of bullying.

    Lately I've been having flashbacks of the days when I got bullied in school. They range from the typical teasing, to having things thrown at me, gossiped about, falsely accused of vandalism, being called mentally challenged, 'roasted' by the entire classroom when I had done nothing wrong or...

    Sensory overload first-aid kit

    Hi there Community, So, yesterday and during the whole night I got a really bad case of not-so-complete shutdown. I'm sure many of you know the feeling. I thought that maybe we could create a topic where we would post our impressions of our sensory overload moments, as well as ways in which we...

    Cancer I Hate You!

    Sometimes when you think life can't throw anymore tough things at you, it throws the biggest gut shot of all. Our family motto is that we don't break. The winds of life may bend us at times, but we DO NOT break. Nobody ever promised life would be easy, or fair. Yes, we can strive for such in our...
