Lost generation woman

Hey, you’re older than me. I’m a 13 year old boy in a 51 year old woman’s body, although for a moment the other day, I actually thought I was something else altogether, although I can’t remember what it was just now. I just know it amused me when I realised I wasn’t that but that I had thought I was! Lol! 

I think our aspie brains are hysterical, but like you, it took me many years to see the funny side! 

And yes, I tell the kids it’s great to be weird! I say the ones that aren’t are simply followers, they’re playing simple simon, they’re all doing the same things, they’re not using their own minds. But the weird ones, I say, they’re something else. They do what they want to do, not what somebody tells them to do and they don’t care what anybody else thinks about them. They’re brave. But I say it’s ok to be like that (the followers) as well, just don’t judge weird people. 

It would be great if you set up a local support group. My support group has become my family. We’ve been out together today and a few of us (the boys) are starting a list of all the things we want to do, such as go ice skating, trampolining, lazer quest, etc as we’ve started to do trips as well now. Honestly, I can’t tell you what a difference having that group has made in my life and it was started by a mother who was struggling with her then undiagnosed son and now it’s for adults on the spectrum as well. I love it. There’s tons of support, including financial support, to help you set a group up. 

And sadly, there are many more of us out there who still haven’t got a clue that they’re autistic. I think we’re like the first big wave of adults which means we now have an opportunity to tell the experts what’s really going on. They don’t really know, how could they? They observe our behaviours from the outside and come up with what they think is going on and it’s often inaccurate and as you said,  for those of us who lived undiagnosed, we have challenges particular to that and like you said, they seem to ignore the impact of all that. I’m certainly not ‘blaming’ them for anything, but things have an impact. Every action has a reaction or a consequence and they must be held accountable, if necessary, for their part otherwise things will never get better. And yes, the psychiatrists etc do see the negatives because the whole system is built around ill health and sickness. Doctors are trained this way. They’re not trained on how to achieve optimum health they’re trained to spot and treat illness and sickness. I rarely ever go to doctors, I’m one of those weird people who doesn’t go and doesn’t take her kids but I’ll be forever grateful to them since I got my diagnosis so I do have a lot more respect for them now. I think they’re truly amazing people, who have big hearts and massive intentions to help people, they’re just trained by the pharmaceuticals and they’re trained in sickness. Even with heart attacks, they perform invasive surgery when the problem could be turned around with diet, in most cases. But as you said, we’re definitely heading in the right direction and that’s great.  You sound like you’d be an amazing group leader. I’d love to come to your group. 

Oh, and you absolutely can rebuild that body. The body is made up of trillions of cells that are constantly renewing themselves. If you nourish the cells by giving them what they need, it will rebuild and reclaim much of its youth. If you want to know what cells need, go into nature and look around.

Hi BlueRay! That’s some really good ideas. Thanks. You sound really cheerful. I’ve always found quirky people interesting. Then someone called me quirky, so I don’t think it’s an insult. Also individual thinkers create, invent things and shape the world. Or they can lie down and dream about it! I will look into whether there’s a local group already. Thanks. Yes, doctors, surgeons etc are very skilled at what they do and are marvellous. I have still to get my head round the fact I have always behaved in a way the psychs etc couldn’t fathom. They are wired differently. Nobody’s fault. Not mine or theirs. I also recognise others who were ‘in the system’ but rejected. Not helped. Mistreated. I guess we were always there really. Enjoy doing a few things with your group. Keep young!
