Thinking how rubbish I am at offering consolation and help. I mean really. I've started writing a dozen times now, meaning to say something, anything, and failing.

Give people a little bit of credit...  :asthing: or not, I know I'd be able to tell that words that didn't come out right still had genuine feeling behind them. We've got our own rules here.

 :wolfie:

I don't want it to come out wrong. :(

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

I love this. This is totally the way to hug an Odeon. Leave it by his beer to pick up at will. ;)

Team of professionals (different fields of 'science') are now in progress of diagnosing my youngest niece Flora, I heard today. Well, I knew earlier she was being 'looked at' but this afternoon I spoke with my youngest sister and she told me that there are somewhat stronger thoughts Flora is on the auti-spectrum as well. ADD and high sensitivity are being mentioned too. Yeeh, those three dx-es fit me also.. albeit I'm just 'lutra*' now of course.. but those suited me totally in my kiddo days.

Thinking about my role in this and what are the better advices to be given here.

I see family lineage too. Several cousins have the same diagnosis.

I'm thinking about it, too,  Lutra. Not very effectively, admittedly , seeing as I'm feeling rather washed out, ATM. But I guess that question will keep awhile? And a few dozen half-brains are allegedly better than one.

I think that question should have it's own thread. Then we can let it percolate awhile without fear of it getting lost in  the middle of this gigantic thread.
(Ooh a bit of common-sense manages to peep throgh the brain fog, and wave.    :apondering: At least it seems that way to me.)

I'm sure there's a family strain on my mother's side.  Her uncle (born 1899 - 1900) was definitely autistic.  He stopped talking at age 2 and didn't say a word until he was 5 or 6.  Loner, fascinated with gold and inventing things, voracious reader, would talk your ears off about things that interested him.

Mom and Grandmother had strong aversions to feeling feelings.  Not sure how they were affected by my Grandfather's murder when Mom was 3 or if this was an autistic trait.

PMSElle and I have also both touched on the fact that people with strong trauma profiles also share traits with those on the spectrum as well. So it could be one or the other or a combo of both. But childhood traumas can really present as ASD traits in adults.

This is also true of brain trauma.

Yeah, I remember my Mom saying she didn't miss her father because she never really knew him.  Sounds reasonable, but unlikely.

Agreed.

Current thought: I will be so relieved when this move is done.

Why did I agree to babysit my two nieces and nephew this afternoon, I'm thinking now. Don't feel like doing it but.. ja, got to now.

Love them but the three together..
