i thought that it’s lonlyness but what is it exactly???
In: Biology
it’s effects are very different from person to person. My nephew is severe. He’s at the very very worst end of the scale and needs constant supervision and support. I’m at the opposite functioning end. The Spectrum of disorders that make up autism can sometimes make the sufferer a type of savant in unexpected and inexplicable ways. I’m an adult with autism. I was mute as a child and I have repetitive behavior issues still, I’m outwardly mostly normal. I am unable to make food for myself. I have no idea why and I have gone days without food for the lack of someone to help me get some. 60% of all autism sufferers have some form of gastrointestinal issues. I’m a celiac. I have extreme difficulty reading and writing, and in contrast to that I am employed and have been for many years. I am autodidactic. I’m computer engineer by profession. I started as a Unix admin and now I program multi million dollar networking devices. What I cannot read I have others read to me. I work in the network data stack between layers 3 and 7. Anyway, I’m a functional idiot in most other respects of my life. I’m a twice recovering alcoholic who’s 5 months sober today, actually yay me 🙂 I didn’t grow up in a good place and life was very very hard. Dirt poor in a poor part of a very backwards Ireland in the 1970’s. Good times, I think not. Anyway the point I was trying very badly to make is autism is a spectrum of disorders with different severity’s in different people.
