Hello, just a note to introduce myself. I'm terrible at describing myself, so this is going to be painful.
I'm a 26 year old female, happily married, with a 3 year old son.
My special interests are reading (particularly on world religions, paranormal, or other similar topics), video games, playing guitar, crocheting. I need to keep my hands, mind, ears occupied at the same time, (but preferably not my eyes) or my brain gets scrambled and I can't function.
My bed is my safe place, and my darkening blind is my lifesaver, lol.
I stim by mostly by rocking, and crocheting is a great socially acceptable way for me to "go away to my place" without anyone knowing. Sometimes I catch myself swivelling my body and arms, like when I'm standing still in line or something. LOL. But mostly, at least on days that I remember to fix my hair and wear clothes that match and fit properly...I think I'm pretty normal.
My husband is my best friend, he is my caregiver, he is my everything. I could not survive this journey without him. He accepts my AS as who I am, not what I have. And he also makes me accept it myself.
I have been reading on the site for a few months, but yesterday was the first time I wasn't too shy to post something, lol.
Hope to get to know everyone soon.
