Well kids, nayashi's back

if you don't remember me, i was here for a while, and i thought i had asperger's. i went to see a psychotherapist to ask her about it and she basically said "no way." and she told me i had Depersonalization Disorder (http://dpselfhelp.com). there's not even the slightest doubt in my mind that i don't have depersonalization, but when i was talking to my regular therapist one day, she just sort of causually mentioned that i may have asperger's along with DP.

to be completely honest, i was a bit shocked. after i was diagnosed with DP, i was like, well, then, that's what it is. but i mentioned that i have heightened senses, and that most fabrics besides cotton really annoy me, and i can't stand the noise of two peices of paper rubbing up against each other (*shudder*). and i suppose i mentioned a few other things, too.

after that, i wasn't really thinking much of it, until my mom got drunk (that sounded really bad, but i've only seen her drunk twice in my whole life, and she's really extremely nice when she is, and she opens up about herself better), so she started talking about how she felt, in general. she told me that she never knew how to feel when something happened, and that she had to observe other people to understand how to feel emotions, and i feel the exact same way, and so does my brother.

i was discussing this with my brother yesterday, and he was immeadiatly intrigued. we both took that silly online "are you an aspie?" quiz, and i scored a 161 (mean for aspie women is 147) and he scored a 136 (mean for aspie men is 134).

so, i might be back again. i'm going to discuss this further with my shrink, and see what's up.

peace,
shani
