  • Hello, I'm 42 and just recently (in the last few months) have been exploring the possibility of being on the spectrum with my therapist. I have been in and out of therapy for years for "anxiety" which we are discovering may actually be 'over stimulation." In my early years, I was very very shy, absolutely loved school, and was obsessed with playing the piano. I much preferred talking with my teachers than with peers. I had a few collections (cat trinkets, stitching, stamps). Some things that really stuck out to me were a few times I ran out of the house, how my mom described me at times as hysterical, monster, or like the poem "There once was a girl with a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. And when she was good, she was very very good, and when she was bad she was horrid." That was me for sure. Very very good at times; and completely terrible at other times. I felt like (and still do feel like) there is a constant fireball inside of me just waiting to be released. 

  • I had a boyfriend once who quoted that rhyme at me!
