My second post...
I wonder if anyone else has the same. I’ve aspergers and ADHD and an extremely high pain threshold, it is good in one way considering how wild and exited I am and love doing a lot of sports but recently I had quite a nasty car crash that at the time I felt a bit stiff afterwards and wound up but fine, then a few months after I noticed that my neck and back were getting very very stiff. I paid to go see a lovely physiotherapist locally and she agreed that I had done some damage.
Her first question, so, where do you feel the pain and rate it from 0-10. Told her that I can’t do that as I just know that something isn’t right, I just know that I’m wrong. She a verykind and gentle lady and patient with me not liking touching that much, but still after quite a few sessions my neck and mid back still aren’t right and I’m struggling to explain to her what is wrong and how I feel. She fixed my knee very fast as she could see and hear the damaged tendons moving underneath her hand.
Anyone else with similar experience and able to help me help the Physio fix me, I don’t want to be turning into a broken person.....
Hyposensitivity is common in Autism. I have a pretty high pain threshold. I've broken my hands multiple times, my ankle and had several lacerations without noticing. I'd take DragonCat's advice though when I broke my ankle I didn't find out until it kept "locking up" years later. I now have a few bone spurs I'm waiting to be removed.
