    Selective Mutism

    My instances of mutism are very brief...but it does worry me a bit that I may get stuck in such a state! Maybe it's just balancing those times when I get stuck in chatterbox mode :)

    Selective Mutism

    This aspect of Asperger's intrigues me. I was a quiet, shy child, not good at socialising but good at reading and writing and in secondary school, speech and drama when I was able to stand and speak in front of a crowd. Put me *in* the crowd, however, and I would struggle knowing what to say. I...

    Looking a lot younger?

    I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome as well as (self & GP recognised) Asperger's. Looking much younger than one's age is an EDS symptom, as the defective collagen makes skin stretchier and less prone to wrinkles (unless you unfortunately have the Dermosparaxis EDS type which makes you look older.)...

    What language can you speak?

    Oh... I forgot to mention British and American Sign Language, both beginner level.

    Diagnosed! (Or as near as I might get)

    My GP agrees with my self-diagnosis and my online test results. There may not be any funding to take it any further but he is looking into it for another patient currently. His opinion is one I highly respect. All I needed was someone to say yes (well, his actual words were "Oh gosh, yes!) I'm...

    Seeking confirmation

    I'm going to my GP in a couple of days to ask to be put on the diagnostic pathway. I'm 41, a mum, have EDS and just cannot help myself from bringing up the subject of Asperger's whenever the opportunity arises. Lots of what I have (rather voraciously) read so far resonates with my experience so...

    What song are you listening to right now?

    Birdsong and dogs barking, punctuated by cows mooing and the distant backing track of traffic.

    What are your current obsessions?

    • Forums for EDS and Asperger's (first has been diagnosed, second only self-recognised) • Minecraft. Hubby and daughter are into it to but I'm noticing how I play it differently. I build but I also like to mine hills straight through or down to ground level. • Sign language. This has been an...

    Anxiety Awareness?

    Haha...yes, I mean that someone pointed out that I was worrying and I hadn't realised until they said it and I had a chance to contemplate what they'd said.

    Anxiety Awareness?

    Miker - I'm not formally diagnosed but am certainly finding so much in common with other Aspies that I conclude that I am too! Quite happy to be different :)
