Distractions.

Im in tears watching the reactions to the truth.

I remember this moment, in this Dodge Stratus I had, where I look over at my buddy Ben, and he's just fucking MOWING down on this pizza in the passenger seat, and I'm eating a pizza too it looks like, and we have a bottle of jagermeister between us, and we're on this country road about a mile from my parents acreage, when we started the night about 37 miles away. I look at him and go "hey, how did we get here?" He replies "you drove." I reply "how'd we get these pizzas?" He replies "you bought them at the gas station for us." stupid kid shit.

Bartending in the family owned bar came with many many nights of driving home much too drunk. It was like you were fine until you set the alarm and locked the door then just nothing......... One night I was driving my 1977 T-Bird and It was going thump thump smooth thump thump about 5 times and I thought I had a couple of flat tires so I stopped and got out. It turned out I was driving on the island divider with two wheels and the thump thump was dropping off the island at left turn lanes and then back up on the next stretch of island. I dont remember getting home.

This is a very triggering season. Thanksgiving, xmas, new years, or the variations.

Times that we may have had intense good or bad memories with others.

You can spontaneously get a Pavlovian response to a sound, smell, or word under these stresses that normally isn't noticed.

The sudden surge of brain chemicals can make you cry, or stutter because you can't access multi syllable words, or become flushed.

I'm autistic and I have brain damage. And I have to figure out how to live with this malfunctioning brain because the damage is still quite new. All the excuses a girl needs for being miserable. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Anyway, it's Wednesday, so I'm off for a bike ride. Alone, because everyone is ignoring me and my damaged brain. At least I have therapy this afternoon. Then vast amounts of smoking quietly for the rest of the day.

AuDHD here. Learning was very freeing, only found out a few years ago.

Giving it a name lets me look up coping strategies that have worked for other superhumans. Before, I was the only one it seemed.

Morning @Drownomatic .. nail on the head .....and exactly what I said to @Jean-O ...the diagnosis gives you a bit of control back.

You can start your own med homework.. journey.

Diagnosis makes a difference......


And...the isolation of thinking you are the Only one with it is killer.
You question your own sanity.
That is why I always say that is Normal here.

Join the crowd.....there are a hell of a lot of us....
