There are so many different 'Self Help' books & programs banging around that if you base your identity on one of them then you may end up feeling like you have (DID) Dissociative Identity Disorder (what used to be known as Multiple Personality Disorder). Are you this? Are you that? What if you are a …
People often ask me why I bothered to get diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at my age, did it make any difference to have a label? For me it clarifies why I do some of the things I do or think the way that I think. For example, I can just sit in my fairy …
The days just sort of morph into each other when you have newborn babies in the household. Much like the newest member in the family, your days seem to be consume, expel, wash, and sleep in a cycle. You just try to keep the dishes maintained and a clear path through the chaos so that …
