Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
May you both receive courage, strength and wisdom to face this challenge.
Nature has its reasons for what it does.
I'm picturing 30 year olds taking care of there parents there while adult life.
Because I have an undiagnosed son, he is awesome, and doesn't need help, but my undiagnosed step son. He does well, but works as a janitor, lives with us. I don't mind, I enjoy his company, and he dosent bother us. But I worry about him and his future, would love to see him socialize more, and get a better paying job for his future. His dad gets frustrated with him, and sometimes I'm all he has.
So any information you get may be helpful to me.
Also it can be called niro divergent.
Margaret that's really interesting about vestibule deases. I suspect it's not as uncommon as they say. I've wondered if there was at times a relationship between anxiety and vertigo. It seems some people get vertigo at times there stress is really high
I am doing this myself for what seems to be a vestibular disorder – not vertigo, but stress-induced balance problems, which is much less common. I’ve had every test the doctor can think of (I’m still waiting for full-spectrum blood test results and my new spectacles), but I’ve actually done better with the net. I’s a 6 month wait for a neurologist appointment. I’m about to take what I’ve found back to my very good GP, because he’s stumped.
Twenty years ago, my previous GP was highly offended if we seemed to know anything - “Where did you get YOUR medical degree from?” was his line. I knew an old one who really resented a new requirement for compulsory update sessions, “after 6 years study” and “the human body hasn’t changed”. Now most new research is on the net, and intelligent sufferers can do a lot themselves in a field which is changing so much more. Try it for Aspergers!
You may need an advocate to get you through the paperwork of it all. An advocate would be a social worker, a geriatric case worker, or an attorney. etc.
I don't know you, but it was not that hard to get diagnosed for my loved one.
The psychiatrist took one look in a 45 min. session and diagnosed him, even though he appears 'normal', or typical. He could not have done this on his own, even though he is high-functioning.
After that, you are correct, he went to a psychologist for testing to qualify for disability, and it was either free or under $25.00, because SSDI sent him.
BTW, no one should be living in the presence of black mold. You should also not be cleaning it, or in the presence of any toxins at all. It would make anyone sick, but with aspergers, it could increase your symptoms and lead to: (poor coping behaviors)?
Please join a support group if you can.
Just a friendly reminder to those with unusual cold like symptoms to be careful around the vulnerable people in are life.
Might be a cold or covid? Some people start covid like that.
Came home yesterday and all the sudden had runny nose and bit of headache, sneezing even today.
If it would just warm up a little I wouldn't mind so much, it's just wrong to be shivering while the trees are pollinating.
How fun! Aerosmith is great.
It is an even better story if you could hear my DH tell it . DH is pretty good at impersonations . So he impersonates Steven Tyler . DH is a very good story teller and funny . He thought about writing for comedians part time for extra $$$, when he was young . But he didn’t have time. Comedians don’t all write all their own stuff that they perform in stand up . They purchase material as well . DH would have stage fright , he could never perform .
DH has many stories from his travels which include , tornadoes , hurricanes , earthquakes , blizzards, and many years ago a (minor ) airplane crash on takeoff when the airplane was about 30 feet off the ground when an engine decided to die so they came back down hard on the runway and then ran out of runway before the brakes could stop the airplane . They crashed through a fence and ended up in a cornfield .
It’s no wonder I have grey roots !
So the airplane takeoff was delayed waiting for my DH to board . My DH ran through the terminal , 3 piece suit , wool overcoat on and briefcase ( again , early 1990’s ) . He got onto the airplane , he was tired , hungry , hot , etc . He sits down and he hears a voice behind him say “. Nice of you to F***ing show up “.
My DH was not in the mood for an A**hole. DH turns around and that voice was…………Steven Tyler , lead of Aerosmith , and the whole band was with him .
DH said “ what are you doing here ?” Steven Tyler said , oh we had to reroute because of a F****snow storm . ( DH said Tyler uses that word at least once in every sentence )
Steven Tyler asked DH “ Who are you that they were willing to hold the airplane , I thought the King was coming “. etc etc . DH said he was so nice. They talked the whole flight .
Anyway Steven Tyler said he would leave DH 2 tickets at the box office for the show the next night . They were playing at some smaller venue in Iowa near where my husband was working that week , he told DH it won’t be sold out, Iowa wasn’t where his big fan base was.
The next day DH is working at the facility and he asks another person if they wanted to go to the concert and that he may have free tickets, or they may have to buy them because , DH realized he never told Steven Tyler his name ……..
That night he went to the box office at the venue and he starts telling the woman his story , the woman stops him and hands him an envelope that says on it “ To the man on the airplane “. Inside were two tickets.
The reason I know this story so well , is DH loves to tell it. 😂😂😂
What a thrill it must have been to see Queen live! I agree that Brian May is a phenomenal guitarist and of course, Freddie was amazing.
Queen was unique. They really had their own sound.
It’s interesting how certain bands appeal to many different generations. My kids like Queen. One daughter is 35 and the other one is 28.
When I went to see Paul Simon at our jazz festival here in New Orleans I expected the audience to be mostly my generation. Plenty of people in attendance were my age, but there were tons of younger people who were enjoying his performance too.
My kids grew up listening to the music I love, plus younger artists that they enjoy.
I saw The Rolling Stones at LSU assembly center when I was 18. All these years later and they are playing at our jazz festival here this year. Mick is 80! 😁
The Beatles came here when I was 9 years old. They played at City Park. Tickets were $4.00. I had seen them on The Ed Sullivan Show and begged my parents to take me. They said they didn’t want to be in the crowd with all the screaming girls. I said that I wanted to be one of the screaming girls. They still said no.
