Finding WP is great. I got a sense of belonging right off.
The next things were not as good, finding many like me, it brought up my problems for review, and I have been keeping them locked in a box for a long time.
The second problem was discovering problems I had, but never noticed before. Now I am watching them.
Third is discovering problems I missed out on, other aspies have them, why not me? I feel left out on some talents too.
Now I hunt problems, I do not care if they are mine or not, they get locked in the box, I found a site of common problems, not cures. Run those little beasties down and stuff them in the box, control as much as you can, then deny everything. Hide the box well.
It is work, but letting them out to run around causes nothing but trouble.
Someday there might be an express package service where problems can be sent, but for now, find them and control them, or others will see them, in your company, and you will take the rap.
It helps to keep a list and check it to see if any have snuck out of the box and are causing trouble again.
They are your problems and you have a right to lock them up. All of them at once are too much. Sometimes I take out one and take it apart to see what it is made of, not much, and after being examined one at a time they become smaller, weaker, and easier to control.
If you dont deal with it, the huggers will come and get you, and if you cant deal with your own problems, you will never stop a group hug. You are trapped between controlable problems, and mad huggers, who want to pat you on the head like a puppy, and kiss you. Think about them, and you can be quite strict with your problems.
Warriors do not like or hate battle, they are warriors, they overcome problems.
