| Can your family participate with the caring for the plants? Could be a way of creating involvement. I do let them help with seed planting and watering and sometimes they help dig next to me. But I really want some alone time when I'm doing it to reset so that I'm ready to be an involved mom again. ... |

| How about setting aside specific timeslots for it? I know that when I come home from work I need time to wind down which I do by cooking alone in the kitchen. My family know this and leave me alone... most of the time :) Make sure they know that these timeslots are time that you need alone and that... |

| My aspie son plays on his own for long periods of time and often is very content to play quietly near me without me having to play with or entertain him. My nt daughter is a drama queen who has to be the center of attention all the time. She is younger but my son was already playing alone at her age. |

| My son is so loud all of the time and he makes repetitive noises all of the time, mostly train noises. I don't like loud noises and hate repetitious sounds. So yes, he drives me crazy. That being said, we have very similar tactile sensory issues and it's nice knowing each other this way. My daughter... |

| I was outgoing but in a inappropriate ways. I wanted friends and tried to make them but always just said the wrong thing and was super awkward. In 3rd grade I was so disruptive that my teacher kept my desk in the hallway, away from all the other kids. I couldn't really read, or tell time or anything... |

I started my period at 17 (which was great!). I had a really hard time at first and would get really nauseous. Pa... |
