Don’t sweat it, Zizu. Our bodies need all these vitamins to varying extents so the worst that can happen is that … y’know … it doesn’t work or it works but you happen not to really need it. None of it can do you any harm.

And how do you get on with your ASD day-by-day, Zizu (I’m not just talking about the positive quirks)? Do you feel like people misunderstand the essence of who you are and don’t treat you right if you tell them or do you just go with it, regardless of what us “normies” might think?

I’ve got to the stage where I do my own thing at work ( and at home ) .. everyone knows I’m a bit quirky and need my routines to cope . The Covid years really took a toll on my mental well-being though and I’m still struggling somewhat. I was just so scared of dying after seeing all the tv footage of the over crowded hospitals in Italy ( I think ) then it swept through the UK ….

Yes for sure I’d be far more outgoing and optimistic I’m certain .. … I have loads of ADHD traits and both our kids are ADHD .. thankfully neither have my autistic issues though . As it is I’m trapped in an extremely anxious / introverted shell .. and can’t face going to live concerts or football matches , parties / gatherings etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 04-07-2023 at 04:24 PM. |

It’s a complex issue for sure .. On balance I guess I wouldn’t change too much about myself .. I do enjoy certain aspects .. I love being obsessed with so many different things like music / football and various other sports , movies , snakes / animals and a few other things …the majority of autistic folk seem to only get to have one obsession The only snag is I don’t really have enough hours in my days … luckily I only need 4 to 5 hours sleep each night .

They're prescribed, for occasional use if I've had to do a lot of walking/time on my feet. It hadn't (and won't) heal properly, I'll probably have to bite the bullet and get it fused/plated at some point but it's like 2 months off my feet entirely and then another 4 with boot/crutches if I do so not really ideal. Naproxen has more of an effect than the codeine tbf... but I double up if it's stopping me from sleeping.

Hardcore video gamers can also go down the lane of becoming really socially awkward and can present as a bit odd like that for similar reasons but again the real person underneath is often neurotypical. You just have to know them to see them for anything like who they truly are unless you never deeped it that much in the first place and always thought they were normal in the first place, just a bit awkward (which is just as often the case). It’s a tricky one but generally I try and just take people as they are, not what they might seem on the outside at times. I don’t like to just call people autistic or neurodivergent or make too many concrete assumptions about them just for the sake of voicing an impression I might have of them that might not even be the right or most accurate one at all.

So it’s really that bad you’re going to need plating, then, SB?

Just an awkward break that has generally poor outcomes, and it was missed for 2+ months until the xrays were seen by a proper foot ortho consultant. Outcome could have been better with early surgery but you need to have it ASAP, within days if possible but within a couple of weeks max. They thought it was just a soft tissue injury, by the time the fracture was identified it had already partially healed so the only surgical option is rebreak/bone graft/plate and fuse the joint.
For an explanation of why it was missed, one is simply that it was only seen by junior ortho doctors, I was on my third one before they noted an "maybe slight abnormality just here" on x-ray and had the foot specialist consultant look at it. Consultant identified the injury straight away on sight. The longer answer is that the foot has a tonne of bones like a jigsaw puzzle - because my break was from pressure/twisting rather than impact the bone that fractured is one of the "internal" ones and the break was on inner child edge of it, totally hidden in a normal x-ray, only shows clearly on a weight-bearing xray. Anyway the shirt of it is, the bones of the foot all sort of glide/slide over each other and I now have a misshapen one with a bone deformity, which would need to be shaved off and the bone fused to the neighbouring one. So in theory, reduced pain but also reduced flexibility in the foot (so permanent stiffness). And it'll probably be arthritic within a decade either way . |

Also I've been jinxed by this thread - GP appt yesterday afternoon and I now do have regular meds 2x daily naproxen, morning and evening and omeprazole because apparently regular naproxen ain't very good for the tummy. I'm going to need one of those pill planners that old folks have.

Had this weird, random nervous pain across my spine and stomach since last night. Gabapentin and paracetamol have done next to nothing. I had very little faith in gabapentin to begin with but at this point I just know it's not for me. Ginger and chamomile tea help more.

My life depended on them so I took them as prescribed.
