I just skimmed that article; good stuff! I will read this tomorrow. There is a lot of helpful info to think about. It wasn't until 2 years ago that I really started to have severe problems affecting work. That's what prompted me to start researching autism (15 years after diagnosis). I've figured out a lot of stuff on my own, but reading what other autists are writing has helped me so much. There are things I never realized like interoception difficulties. Now I know why my son has to remind me to eat. I don't always know when I'm hungry. But most importantly, I'm finding that I'm not alone.

Being alone is the worst. I won't pretend to understand what you go through, but I will gladly accept you as a fellow pede.
I assume everyone is broken with dark places in their souls, so no judgement from me or fake sympathy.
