Hey all
For the past few days I have been wondering about ASD, Im mid 30’s and I have had significant health issues throughout my life, I will try and summarise them as much as I can, but its likey to be a long post:
I have had selective eating disorder from the age of 3-30 – eating nothing but crisps, I have made strides in this area but my diet is still very limited.
I suffered PICA from the age of around 5-18 mainly eating plasterboard, tarmac and paper (paper and cardboard still are a weakness)
I bite my finger nails to the nail bed (have done since I was around 10) and then the skin around the nails
I ALWAYS wear socks and cant stand the feeling of nothing on my feet
I was diagnosed with PTSD and ME 3 years ago
I cant look people in the eye, I get red-faced and well up talking to people
I am more than happy to sit in and not go out
2 of my children are bring assessed for ASD by school
I struggle with loud noises groups of people , whereby I’ll avoid them as much as I can
When something engages me, I tend to try and get as much information about it as I can, or if I take up a hobby I’ll have to buy several of the things in question (Say collecting mugs, I’ll try and collect 3 of the same one, just in case)
I am awaiting the community meatal health team for my anexiety and PTSD , I was assesed twince but we moved and as such I had to be assessed again (however this was just for the PTSD) and was wondering, should I mention it to them when I see them (in december) or should I speak to my GP before this?
Thanks for your time.
