  • I went to the dentist for the first time yesterday.

    My teeth were getting overly sensitive, I’d never been good a remembering to brush until this year, so the buildup got bad.

    I have early gingivitis and a couple of small cavities, which is better then what I was expecting. And they cleaned my teeth.

    The sensitivity is gone and I am EUPHORIC, I never realized how constantly uncomfortable I was because of it, I’d been getting more and more irritable and surprise. It was because constant mouth sensations contributed to a lot of moments where I was overstimulated and lashed out.

    It’s a spectrum from "Weird and Awkward all the time but outwardly living a pretty normal life to SCREAMING AT EVERYTHING AND BRING UNABLE TO COMPREHEND ANYTHING AROUND YOU.

    When people think of autism now they don’t think of the “non-functioning” side, they think of the high functioning side. Yes, high-functioning Autism sucks still, but it could be much, much worse.

    ADHD rarely makes anyone “non-functional” it does make people barely-functional. Thus, no one cares. As you’re doing “okay” usually.
