Ha but the arts and books truly are the concepts of the soul. Iām so glad you could relate and found yourself in the words! You do strike me as a self taught learner. Itās so impressive what we do to figure out ways of life around what we can and cannot do. I find those situations hard too and food and outings also make my health worse if Iām not careful š we are two peas in a pod that way!

I was self taught in many ways. I was an early speaker with full, adult sentences before the milestone ages. I sounded like an adult and often was treated older than I was. Which sometimes served me well but also caused issues with expectations. I was thought to be capable thus I had to find my own ways to work around my real struggles/ disabilities. This is often another sign of Autism which gets overlooked. See HERE for more. I still love to hear the sound of certain words, I love people who use challenging or "university level words" in books, and I can sometimes sound like I hail from another century altogether with my word usage "</i><br />---This is ME !!<br />I also learned most of my languages by reading when I was a toddler ! I was an early speaker too ! Nobody, not even my parents taught me to read. I could read all by myself at a very young age much before I went to school. I could not verbally express myself in words properly although I was a good writer. I still speak backwards or put one word before the other when it should be in proper order. My school life was horrible and I suffered a lot. <br />Anyways, of late, I am noticing that chronic illness, hormonal issues, wrong foods, etc. makes my overall situation worse. But apart from these factors also, there is something that I was born with and I know that my brain functions in a different way than most people. My values, beliefs, thoughts, ideas , the way I relate to others, etc. are not mainstream at all. But at the same time, if I push myself, I can accomplish a lot of things which I never thought I could do, originally ( like cooking, cleaning, travelling, doing physical hardships for a few more hours ). So, I am pushing myself a bit. What I cannot tolerate however, no matter how much I try is -small talk ( including having to listen to boring conversations), prolonged hours of socialization (even one to one conversation), conversation which have no philosophical or deep thoughts involved, ultra feminine behaviour, staying outside for too long, doing physical activities ( even housework) for too long, talking for too long, etc. etc. What I love most are- Intellectual activities ( reading books, watching debates, philosophy), Art, painting, Silence, left alone in my own room, plants, flowers and gardening - everything that has nothing to do with other people's lives ( or very little to do with other people). Call me selfish but I am more into art and books than relationships. The only relationships I love having are with people who are peaceful, make zero or very little demand on me, who talk about positive and encouraging things and leaves me alone, most of the time. However, I am also a feeling oriented and highly emotional person ( as well as an emotive/expressive person) and so, cannot form very solid bonds with people who have very less emotions. Don't know where that leaves me or puts me !Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363854783134050594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-58753895271428008202019-05-13T20:00:43.582-07:002019-05-13T20:00:43.582-07:00Ashe: Lol My communicative life too is very simila...Ashe: Lol My communicative life too is very similar. Lol - ha ha I love that "please continue" Maybe it is an aspie thing...your journey sounds very similar. <br /><br />Yes it was good and I wave a cheery hello if I see her on the streets as I am genuinely happy to see her. Otherwise life is exactly as it needs to be right now:) <br /><br />Oh me too! I said mini sentences at 9 months. My daughter's first words at 9 months was "see ya!" She had early speech too...<br />Oh I hate it when that is diagnosed like that...most women are unless we are non verbal. Its very aggravating. Yes, stress is terrible and probably the constant sensory overwhelm contributes to memory loss too!<br />Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-21185598363644408792019-05-11T07:25:29.061-07:002019-05-11T07:25:29.061-07:00Egads, the bizarre word choices, jumbled sentence ...Egads, the bizarre word choices, jumbled sentence structure, hide-and-seek with words, and attack of the accents... Bane of my communicative life. (I also frequently have incomplete sentences that I have to go back and expand on with pronouns and articles of speech.) Probably why I never noticed any of your writing snafus, my brain just processed them as "oh, yes, this is correct based on our own patterns, please continue". I have an Irish accent that comes out unexpectedly, which I try to excuse as having listened to too much Celtic music, but the random Australian one I can't explain. I don't even know it's there until somebody is asking if I'm an Aussie, and honestly is probably more Brit than Aussie. There are a few others, but they come around much less often.<br /><br />I am very happy you had a good reunion! Life is fluid and ever changing. I'm glad you two were able to roll with it and have a good time. :)<br /><br />My mom says I was talking in sentences when I was a year and a half old. The only autoimmune problem I'm aware of having is a patch of psoriasis on an elbow. Apparently it's a family trait. Other than that, professionally declared "touch of autism", but not written down on any charts and now too "high functioning" for help with nuisances such as rampant sensory issues and slow processing, and a ton of stress that is most likely chronic by this point. Stress is probably what warps my memory the most.Ashehttp://www.raven-wing.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-60316192206699767172019-05-06T08:39:43.227-07:002019-05-06T08:39:43.227-07:00C; Well hmmmm you do have chronic illness too and ...C; Well hmmmm you do have chronic illness too and hashimotos which shares a lot of qualities and affects similar areas as Lyme so I do wonder if this is a quality thatās just not explored by ā professionalsā so they donāt explain to us immediately what is happening - I find that a common experience in nuerological differences and autoimmune. It is a very very frustrating experience ... Iām doing it now with names of people I am supposed to know well too! Or even whom I am friends with - ha ha it makes the whole out of sight out of mind theory was easier!:) also easier to move on from when someone insults me cuz unless I write it down or tell someone else who reminds me - I wonāt remember!;) hidden positives I suppose... but it can be hard :( love KKmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-44415974511619041132019-05-06T08:33:27.849-07:002019-05-06T08:33:27.849-07:00I do the same thing sometimes about.

Maybe it is an autism thing then ??? Or...Well phew! Maybe it is an autism thing then ??? Or chronic illness since we both have long term Lyme and Autism? It must affect our memory Center ... I mean it does affect our pre frontal cortex and executive functioning so it probably makes sense ...<br /><br />I have yet to call everything Apple but I do call differing things the wrong names all the time to the point my kids constantly are translating for me and immediately know what I mean. Which saves me a lot more frustration than I used to have. They are amazing at just translating and continuing onward in that regard - although my accents are continually laughed at - ha ha but thatās ok. <br /><br />Yea Iāve been constantly asked if I was American instead of Canadian. Also French, Spanish, Italian, African, Pilipino, Chinese ect. Sometimes Iām speaking ( to me) clear English and Iām not understood at all - and itās different from not being understood because I speak fast ( which also happens - my kids hubby and former best friend were the only ones who not once have told me to SLOW down which is so refreshing because that has been the bane of my existence since I could talk fluently at a younger age than typical which can also happen to Aspies...) <br /><br />You are right - itās worse when Iām tired , not realizing Iām stressed, or not feeling well or low on iron... I guess I did have a bit of garble in my teens too and maybe this is as bad as it will be ?;) <br /><br />Yes totally! I love the water analogy! <br /><br />Thank you for that;) itās why I write - not because Iām succinct or concise ect but because Iāve been told I give unique insight or depth most donāt verbalize which shocks me but Iām glad some recognize or enjoy it. I also find that in you and others I follow ;)<br /><br />Love <br />K Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-18732827420918921052019-05-06T08:15:03.740-07:002019-05-06T08:15:03.740-07:00Oh my goodnesss!!

In my twenties , the doctor was going to send me to a neuro psychologist because I had a hard time reaching for words and would call everything an " apple" ( if I couldn't get to the right word ).<br /><br />It's slightly worse now on occasions and it's terrifying , at times until i remember my twenties and having the same problem. <br /><br />I find it's worse when under stress that I am unaware of emotionally. <br /><br />It feels like falling into water, shocked, trying to find some land or a hand hold .<br />Grasping for something. Anything. <br />Only it's a word. <br />Ugh.<br /><br />I have the accent thing too. I was on an airplane once ( I was fifteen ) and the flight attendant asked me if I spoke English š³.<br /><br />This was another awesome post. <br />I wouldn't worry about grammar etc ( although I know it's a personal thing). Your writing is full of insight and depth and that's never lost.<br /><br />Xoxo <br /><br />-- <br />"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." - Joseph Campbell <br />Glynisnoreply@blogger.com
