bethduckie: we have the same problem with housekeeping……….heh. if I move out of an area then it’s like that area never existed again after I left it until I return to it………and promptly forget to put things away, pick stuff up off the floor……unclutter my desk so I can do homework……….etc…….

I’ve had bowel trouble myself. sometimes medications can be the cause. make sure to drink water often and eat healthy food high in fiber..fruit, vegetables and high fiber cereal like bran flakes is also pretty good. this can prevent constipation before hand and if you really have trouble I have been drinking this great nutritional drink called greens plus. It has helped so much with many things but especially works giving you a healthy digestive tract. you have to be careful because if the bowel isn’t moving as often as it should then it can get rather toxic inside and cause other ailments down the road. drinking the greens + keeps me regular..increases my energy..helps anxiety and improves the immune system so that you don’t catch flues and bugs very often. a few co workers have also tried it and really found it to be great for them.

Hi,
I’m an occupational therapist and I work with children with autism.. I came across your site during a random internet search.. I’m working in an ABA classroom and am having a really hard time with the structure/data taking/token system environment. I feel its rough and a lot of these kids aren’t able to translate their skills to real life… What do you think? Are you autistic? I read you are 25. I’m the same age…
Do you think sensory integration therapy works?? I’d love to communicate with you personally…

I’m 25 and housework is a mystery to me too.

Congratulations.

Definately congratulations! Cool!

Recently I’ve been finding it much easier to sequence my actions to keep my house reasonably clean and tidy. Its been reasonably tidy (by which I mean not very, but much better than it was!!) for about 6 weeks now. Before I might have one room pretty clean but the others were appalling, and trying to work out what to do about it and doing it would leave me shaking and retching (sorry… gross, but if we’re talking about crap, why not add puke to the topic? hehehe) I’d be OK if someone was there saying do this, now do this, now do this, just doing it on my own was a problem. no dx here, so it’s puzzled me why I couldnt do it.

Cant believe I got to 27 without managing this one! Still better late than never *grin*

That’s great. If I recall correctly, “more body awareness” was on your to-do list. :-)

I guess congratulations make sense. Now if I can make it through today (with almost no sleep, trying to get back on a schedule, so not sleeping, etc) without losing my mind…

Is “Congratulations!” an appropriate thing to say?

Since hitting my twenties, I notice I’m aware of more and more things (in my case, usually visual/spatial things, which are a “deficit” for me). It’s very sudden–as if my brain has been developing in secret and has finally let me know.

Congratulations again.
