Hi everyone, I'm Sam and I joined this forum to try and feel less lonely and to try to understand how to make my life better. I've been diagnosed when I was 12 with Pervasive developmental disorder ( they took very long to diagnose ). I'm obsessed over dogs, it's the only think that I really like to talk about. I'm a professional dog trainer and dog groomer. I dropped out of school due to my PTSD and autism and other things that I don't really want to share. However I have a service dog now, he is a german shepherd dog, and this year I've made a huge step for me. I decided to register one day a week to adult school to get my highshool diploma. I'm very good at school if we don't take group project in consideration ( I have no social skills. Literally. ).
I'm mostly looking here for people who also have trouble with too many stimulus that leads to shut downs or panic attacks. I'm lucky to have my service dog that helps me a lot with this but I'd love to get a few tips and tricks. I can't stand things touching me, too many noises, people crowding around me, people in general. At school it's just basically all of those things.
I'm very bad at those descriptions I'm sorry. I hope some people get it.
