    i’ve never been able to fully understand why i have moments where i want to physically cause pain to myself. it usually happens with anger or frustration, ive also noticed when i get super excited i’ll start punching myself, but i wont hit nearly as hard as if i were in one of those moods. i try not to hit myself in super sensitive areas, i usually go for my legs, but sometimes my face gets some ‘love’ too. if i cant help it and i do it in front of my parents, i hear, “thats not normal whats wrong with you” and thats an awful way to respond to your son banging their head on the floor, and probably one of the reasons why i cant pinpoint where this behavior stems from at the moment, but ive done it since i was 4 and im 19 now so im not sure. im very good at hiding my anger and frustrations around other people, most people have never seen me angry before but it happens almost every day!

    Yup this is the reason why I busted 2 RC transmitters (DX5C) and I had to upgrade to the DX6 Rugged which is like $50 more, but it can take a beating. Because I realized if I kept getting the cheaper transmitter, I would end up killing them and having to replace them every few months, which I don’t have money for.

    Thank you so much for courageously posting your assessment here. I just had mine done 2 days ago and I'm still reeling from it and overthinking EVERYTHING! It's very interesting and helpful hearing people talk about their own evaluations and seeing the suggestions they gave you. I already added those books to my cart and pausing and reading through the advice has given me a lot of good information to work on (even though it wasn't meant for me, I totally relate). I know this was posted a really long time ago but it's still valid and really helpful. Thanks again!

First off with employers and employees, Exceptional Individuals have a youtube and fb and help ND with Job assessments? Then there's other YT accounts, The Aspie World, he's in wales and has adhd & asd, there's an Autistic Minds LIVE Llandudno 2024 on May 10th, and there's Sarah Louise Walden on YT, I'm autistic, now what? on YT, Mollys ADHD Mayham, YT and Yo Samdy Sam, hope it helps x and there's me a random stranger on YT rsd kicks in lol.

    @troysvisualarts 10 місяців тому

    Thanks for sharing you experiences with RSD, I never heard that term before and now I am educated. I can greatly relate to what you are going through because I am dealing with very similar issues, I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome as a kid and all my life I've struggled with handling being rejected, being berated, being guilt tripped by family even when I was being a naughy boy, I am very lucky I've been able to hold down a factory job that pays a bit above minimum wage as I have an understanding boss as I have many meltdowns there but I am starting to become a liability and my workmates are starting to become scared of me on how they approach me when they need to be stern with me, it's most particularly difficult when I am prestressed because anything can set me off in the moment! Throughout my life I fly off the handle when someone yells at me, I literally hit myself as punishment when I know I'm in the wrong, whenever I stuff up and upset someone it plays on repeat in my head and I struggle to let it go, I overreact a lot when things go wrong and equipment malfunctions and have tantrums whether it be verbal profanity shouts or throwing objects to the floor etc., I get very defensive when someone tells me off even if I am in the wrong and afterward when I calm down I feel guilty afterward, I can either get very angry or cry when I get berated or get criticised when I'm incredibly prestressed, I catastrophize a lot fearing bad things fearing criticism so I struggle to want to apply for new jobs, ask women out, communicate with strangers etc. , I am hypercritical of my flaws, and the list goes on and on, and it continuously harms the quality of my life! Sadly I have a very bad temper and yell and have tantrums which makes it difficult for me at work and at home, thankfully I an automatic self control which I will hit walls, break malfunctioning stuff but I won't hit people, that I am thankful for! So yeah I feel like I have a massive challenge with this issue along with other issues associated with my condition and I am desparately looking for a solution so I can function better! One technique that has helped me a little bit recently is the 5x5 breathing method which is breath in for 5 sec hold breath for 5 sec breath out and repeat it 5 times, did that at work the other day when a job got ridiculously difficult for me and I was at boiling point and yeah I calmed down! Anyhow that's my long winded story on my struggles with RSD which I am confidient I have it!

    I also have autism and i have a SIB that RULES my absolute life and i cannot replace something with it at all that brings me the same level of ‘calmness’. I basically scratch my skin CONTINUOUSLY all day every day when im overwhelmed and stressed. I can go hours without doing it but then other days i dont leave myself alone and my skin weeps regularly and i get infections. I feel like no one can help me at this point which is so scary to think. Im in denial and put it down to my skin feeling like its itching but to be honest its anxiety that causes it.

  • @gmlpc7132
    @gmlpc7132 11 місяців тому

    Sorry to hear you've had these difficulties - I can't imagine how you juggle all these responsibilities as well as being neurodiverse. The workplace can certainly be tough for someone with autism / ADHD, especially if they've had a break from employment and are trying to adapt to new routines and requirements. Fortunately it seems your diagnosis saved your job. There are a lot of people who are neurodiverse but either have no diagnosis or haven't declared their diagnosis and they could be treated rather more harshly. Changes in rotas / timetables or other working situations can be especially demanding and are something employers should either avoid or provide more support for neurotypical workers although I suppose they might argue they can't always do so.

  • @TheCockneyWalks
    @TheCockneyWalks 11 місяців тому

    Hello Savannah, you're looking well 🙂 Sounds like it's been a stressful time for you lately, I know the feeling of being stressed at work because I went through a similar situation last spring at my work. I walked out without even working my notice because I reached my limit, I hid my autism from my employer which I guess I shouldn't have done, but anyway it ended with me walking out. I hope things get better for you. Have you thought of maybe adding a section on your channel where people could donate some money to you? I'm sure there are people out there that would gladly like to give you some financial help, and maybe that would enable you to only work part time rather than full time? And hopefully relieve some stress for you. Just a thought. Take care Savannah.

    Ive had a very similar experience years ago but wasnt diagnosed with anything at the time. It sounds like disclosing your diagnoses has been a major plus for you. Could you talk more about that? Like when you disclosed it, during interview or after contracts were signed.... is it common knowledge to everyone or just managment and have you experienced any downsides?

  • @eli-pw8rr
    @eli-pw8rr Рік тому

    Christmas is so stressful for me. We go around in a circle and open all our presents individually, which I love, but I unwrap them without ripping them. When I was younger I used to cry if it got ripped. Now, people just have to forget about being impatient lol. The meal is the biggest part for me, though. I'll be constantly trying not to cry whilst eating it, and I've sometimes gone to forcefully throw it up. Not in an ED way, but I just feel so uncomfortable with Christmas dinenr food in my body. Now, I have 5 - 10 minute breaks when I need to, but I don't let them go over 10 mins because I still love Christmas and my family, but I try to find balance. I also ask everyone a routine multiple times a day a few days before Christmas and annoy them all 😂

      See a nasal doctor or allergist about this. It may be allergies or dry nostrils. If allergies you could treat that with medicine or shots. If it’s dryness a nasal spray might work. I hope this gets resolved for you!
