Hello everyone, I'm 29 and for many years I was just a diagnosed schizophrenic but I was dealing with so much more that didn't make much sense to me (well nothing ever did really and that probably the point) regarding things I was experiencing. That was until last year when I met my girlfriend who is also ASD and we had so much in common that I'm now sure that was also there.
I have problems with speech often, sensory issues that fluctuate and change from day to day depending on a lot of factors, motor skill problems (in fact I was doing some research and came across this forum for the first time from someone's post "t-rex arm" thing and I was like "omg I do that involuntarily all the time!") which usually manifests as not having as much control in general over my movements and facial paralysis like experiences when I feel strong emotions, balance issues sometimes, I feel like a different species than most people, and have have many food sensitivities and digestive issues where if eat the wrong things I get a whole lot worse.
Life has been quite the roller coaster but I am much more stable now with her and managing things having introduced lions mane extract, tremella fuciformis extract, and also noticing I had electro-hypersensitivity shielding my monitor and computer. Without these my symptoms in all areas spiral out of control, so I suspect since lions mane and trmella also helped so much since they're neuro-regeneratives and it's such a huge factor I had some major demyelination thing going on.
I hold down a 20 something hour minimum wage job and despite the tedium of it I feel like things are going as smoothly as they can right now and I probably have a lot of life experience under my belt as a messy disorder combo meal. Some days I can almost pass as completely normal but I have a lot of bad brain and body days too though those days are much less than they used to be even compared to a year ago.
Nice to meet you all!
