OCD - Nope ADHD - Now maybe not... ASD - Yes GAD - Yes MDD - Yes I want at least the last 40 years back! What the front door... It explains a lot and yet makes me so angry I could spit fire. It was kind of weird having someone I had never met...

reasoning

First an explanation. I haven't been writing about my journey lately because I have been seriously busy trying to get my autism evaluation done. In the past when I wrote about my progress, things didn't work out. I figured by keeping quiet I could maintain my focus. Trying to get something done, that seems impossible,...

Is this #2 for real?

I think I may have cracked my case, so to speak. I found someone that gives a low income discount, for Medicaid, is seeing new adults and only does the testing/evaluation for ASD. The testing isn't free, about $1,000, and is 100 miles away. After 3.5 years looking, I would have found transportation to just...

Red Alert!

An unknown government agency drove in this morning with one or more agents. Their location is unknown.

A sketch of me when I was over 260. I haven't had anything nice to say lately, so I have kept me ramblings to a minimum. I suppose it is time for an update. 16 providers called and two appointments later, I am still spinning my wheels. Both appointments were a bust and told me...

What about Bob?

Celebrate the small things. Take baby steps. Believe it or not, I may have got some good news today. First, I got a callback from the NW Autism Center regarding my screening. I was more than double the cutoff for a formal diagnosis. Second, they are sending me the mysterious list that didnt exist. What...

Totally helpless…

Like I needed any more anxiety in my life, yet I'm getting it by the semi load. Today it's been two weeks since my house fire and I'm still not allowed back into my own home. I'm not allowed to try to recover any valuables, personal items or heirlooms. The longer I'm kept out of...

Strike #3

I keep hearing my parents yelling at me, saying what part of the word "no" do you not understand? The "n" or the "o"? Needless to say, when someone tells me no, I stray away from pushing an issue when someone tells me no. This situation was urgent and, to me at least, a life...

Strike #2

After being kicked out of the emergency room, I put my headphones on and started walking. I knew that even if I do get a yes from someone, I would still have to go to the pharmacy to get it filled. So it only made sense to head in that direction. I dont think that...

Still laughing?

What could possibly go wrong now? I've crossed my i's and dotted my t's right? All I have to do is wait a little, take a breath and relax cause the ball is rolling. The more I thought about it, it became clear that there were flaws. Places where the ball could still end up...
