Hi

LaurenC

Hi I'm lauren. I have autism and am dyslexic.

I suffer so much with anxiety but I'm trying to get it sorted out.

I like singing, colouring, reading, watching Disney and playing games.

    Hi AlienOn3arth, thank you.

    Are you interested in sci-fi? Alien

  • in reply to LaurenC

    Yes, I like it, also writing myself. Now trying to read Daniken further but my toddler interrupts me every 5 minutes and tries to take the book from me, then draws pictures in it. So currently I’m so terribly exhausted and overwhelmed that I can’t anything. But aliens are still my love.

    I have done and do the exact same thing! When I had my assessment talking to myself and having conversations with people who weren’t there came up and so did pacing, and it was considered a normal autistic trait according to the woman doing my assessment. Sadly some autistic people are treated in mental health facilities, it’s so sad that it’s still happening in the modern day. Autism really needs more understanding.
    I’m sorry you self harm but I do understand. This is something I struggle with myself, it’s an ongoing battle and I am trying to do it less and replace it with other things. I’ve read that hitting a pillow can help. And I’ve just started using an app called Calm Harm, it’s a free app and it has a lot of suggestions for alternatives to self harm. Talking to you has felt like talking to myself, I mean this in a good way. It sounds like talking to an Autistic person. Really glad this forum exists, I feel so understood and accepted here.
