@MadameLee, i think -since you obviously know what you can do by yourself and what you need help with- that your family should respect your wishes. i don't know how to get it across but i feel like they "don't give you enough credit", know what i mean?
also, i find it awful that when you go to see the specialist the people there can't accommodate you and, say, come get you when it's your turn, instead of calling your name. i mean... they ought to know what to expect--people with 18p- can be hard of hearing.
final also, (and maybe this is way out of line for me to ask; if so, i apologise) is it possible to get the specialist you currently see to refer you to somebody else, to diagnose the Asperger syndrome (i refuse it to call it a "disorder" like some people do) and same thing for the depression?
@fewlines First you're aware of 18p- not many are? We didn't even know it had a name until we're looking for information about my first disorder when we're getting me on ODSP. I think that's hearing issue is partly's dad's fault (not that I'm blaming him for my hearing issue itself ) but he's always has a habit of sitting as FAR away as possible from the "desk" which means my "deaf" side (left) is to the residents or nurses calling names he wouldn't think about MY needs of being able to sit in a way which I can hear them?. I only see the specialist once a year (always in May). Back when I did have a family doctor-she referred me to someone and that person just give me the "puzzles" doctors gave to elders with dementia,etc and he didn't think I had Aspger's due to me having empathy. The only good thing my ex-family doctor did was getting me back to Dr.K (an ear, nose and throat doctor), There isn't really any doctors to diagnose adults with AS. In October on one day I'm going to be going somewhere to fill in a form to see if I can get a female doctor there (on another day-Mom will be doing the same thing).
Hello @MadameLee
It is good that you filing out a form at a place in October , so that you can get a female doctor there. The female doctor can then check you over and help you with your health issues. She can test you or refer you to other specialists that she knows that helps people with AS whatever their ages. You can get a more thorough diagnosis as to whether you have the condition or not. She can also provide medical help and support for your depression. She can also do further medical tests to see if there are other underlying medical conditions that can be treated or to provide help to manage them. Also, by discussing with her how you feel restricted by your parents, she may be able to talk things over with them and work out ways so that you feel that you have more freedom.
that last part isn't an option since my parents like being in the room-sometimes I need them in the room since sometimes I don't know how to answer questions which are the routine questions of "any change mostly no.
Hello
With your parents in the room whilst you are talking to the doctor, because you need them there to help you answer questions, they would have a good understanding of your health. This may be why they put the restrictions on you traveling by yourself and the activities they allow you to do. They are concerned about you and your health. When you see the new doctor, it will be good for your mother to be there so as she too can be aware of your health situation , and that will be then reflect on what she allows you to do or places for you to travel to alone.
Not that I'm trying to contradict you-but that might not be possible since the date (October the 13th?) of there's a 50/50 chance of her working. Dad will be able to be there but I much prefer Mom being there then Dad-SHE doesn't embarrass or harass me like Dad does w/ doctor business. She's the fun parent if she took me to a doctor's appointment in Toronto we would do the appointment and then do something like the ROM and have supper. She hasn't taken me to one (not counting the ex-family doctor) since maybe 2011 on a Monday?
Hello
Perhaps you could try to change the day that you see the doctor to a day that suits her with her work? Or perhaps there is a possibility that she could take the day off from work? I know that may not be possible with either changing the appointment day or with her taking a day off from work, but just was wondering if it may be possible. You would prefer your mother to be with you when attending the appointment. Or if that isn't possible, she may be able to attend a follow up appointment with you. Or perhaps you could both go on the same day that she is seeing the doctor.
Well neither of us will actually be seeing any doctors in October we're just going to be going to fill out a form and bring a list of medication to see about getting a (female) doctor there. Mom's a supply teacher it's basically like on-call if she's not booked in advanced. So you never know if she'll be at home or not. I know for the 9 days before our trip she will be supplying. But afterwards whose knows?
If you are able to get a female doctor as a result of filling out the form, then perhaps you could arrange that you and your mother both have your resulting introductory doctor appointments on the same day?

Mom only made the appointments yesterday-and we still have Sept (and my trip) to get through. But about Toronto with the exception of the specialist doctor's. I think and believe I COULD manage to be on my own in Toronto (as long as I stick to the Eaton Centre, or the ROM, or Dundas on the Bay).
So I have an abscess in my mouth... which accounts for the pain and all the swelling I've been having
They hooked me up to an IV pumped drugs through me and sent me home lol
By that I mean sent me home with HomeCare so I can keep getting my antibiotics and pain meds through an IV. My face is much less swollen and I actually got to eAt something tonight
My arm is black and blue though cause I was dehydrated and my veins where blowing (pushing the iv catheter out and filling with blood) left right and center so I became a pin cushion.
The feeling of "better" is soo so worth it. Thank you all for your kind words and such (from earlier)

@CupcakeViolence that sucks-I hope you feel better soon. The only time I need an IV was when I had basically a diabetic eposide (despite not being diabetic) when I was around 10 years old.

Hello @CupcakeViolence I am sorry that you have an abscess in your mouth It would be so very painful!
It is good that you are now home and have Homecare so that the antibiotics and pain medication can continue through the drip. It is an encouraging sign that your face is less swollen and that you were able to eat something without all the awful pain.
I hope that your bruised arm heals very soon and the soreness/pain there eases.
I am so glad that you are feeling better! Try to get some rest now . It has been a painful and tiring time for you.
Sending a hug to you as you continue to heal from the abscess
it all sounds so complicated. i do wish there was a way to get your parents to see you're not helpless, that you can do things, and that you will of course ask for help if you happen to need it. they don't have to assume they know better.
as for diagnosing AS in adults... i assume any psychologist or psychiatrist worth their salt will have some knowledge of autism spectrum "disorders". whether or not they offer the assessment for adults is a different story, but it might be worth looking into because it is possible to get a diagnosis that way. "puzzles" or similar are not used, it is a list of questions i think.

we (my parents and I) only became aware that I had AS when I was 18 because our main (and daily) paper the Toronto Star had a series on Austim/AS in the first year of college. I liked a specific routine, I have issues occasionally with clothing making me uncomfortable (mostly the tags),etc.
On Thursday I made mom a cake at my day-program and I'm STILL figuring out how to get it home tomorrow.

Hello
Perhaps there may be someone at your day-program that could bring your cake home for you. You could perhaps try to arrange for them to bring it to your home when your Mother is not there.

Not possible since there's rules aganist driving (w/ exceptions) and Mom is ALWAYS at home. There's only going to be one person there on Wednesday and we're at the park on Thursday. Most people live in the apartment or like me take the bus if they don't drive.

Hello
It may be quite difficult but could you try to bring it home on the bus with you? You could get to a certain stage in your trip home, then either continue completely home on your own or ring your Dad to see if he could pick you up.
@MadameLee, ideally you would have access to a cake-taker. it would rock because they're air-tight and have a built-in handle, so you wouldn't have to balance the cake while on the bus, you'd just carry it like a handbag of sorts... a very delicious handbag.

in this case I don't.. (if I did.. I wouldn't be needing to taking the cakes mom bakes on my knees for the picnic in the car. Most of us are on ODSP at the program.
i figured. "ideally" was the key word. sorry about that. i get too many ideas that can't be executed/aren't practical in real life. like throwing your mother a little surprise party there, and have other people help you decorate a bit, sing happy birthday and stuff like that.
Okay, so on Monday, there is gonna be a solar eclipse. And this sounds dumb, i know, but i'm actually quite scared of it. I mean there are all these rumors about it. "The eclipse will end us all" "The eclipse will paralyze America" "The eclipse will unleash a pack of rabid vampire wolves that will feast on all baked chicken" (that last one was obviously made up). I believe in the end of the world rumor less, because the world was supposed to end in 2016. And 2015. And 2014. And 2013, etc. But it's still kind of scary for me. I'm probably gonna be laughed at for this....
@LyricSimsz15 Just found your post. We had a total eclipse in 2015 in the UK and Europe and we are still here. It's just that it is your turn to have one. Our next one is in 2090. Did you know that there is an eclipse of some sort every 18 months somewhere in the world?
"On Friday 20 March 2015, a solar eclipse was visible in the UK (and parts of Europe, parts of Asia and Africa)." Just do some research and wear some good glasses to protect your sight.
Don't take notice of any doomsayers. I read a book last year about the doom expected in the first millenium AD 1000 and as far as I could read from it, it was the doomsayers who foresaw their own deaths as the rulers of the time found them a nuisance and killed them off for all the nuisance and unrest they caused.
Maybe the link with "Doom" came about as people looked at the sun and blinded themselves? Just sayin'

Given everything that's been going on lately, both stateside and otherwise, it's not surprising if you're feeling anxious. In fact, there's a running joke in my group of friends that the events of August in particular make the eclipse feel like the intro to an alien invasion / apocalypse movie! Anyone who chooses to laugh at you because of this is showing that 1) they have no social skills, 2) they have a weird idea of what is and isn't funny, and/or 3) they need to find a hobby.
Now, what you said about the "rabid vampire wolves"? That's pretty funny, but it also might be useful. It might help, in fact, if you feel yourself getting anxious / worried / afraid, if you redirect your thoughts to them-- imagine a pack of R. V. wolves going to the closest diner and getting all pouty because they have to wait for a table, then arguing over what they want for an appetizer, then basically inhaling a couple hundred pounds of chicken, and then going outside again, and in wolf form, flopping down in the grass to nap!
Giving your brain something to focus on, especially something that's so obviously not realistic, may help the worrying go away.

I used to get anxious about everything I didn't understand and found the best way of dealing with it is to learn about it. I used to be frightened of spiders now I find them fascinating and can even get them out of the bath. (with a glass and card).
Your Smithsonian museum has got a lot about this eclipse and loads of stuff about eclipse anxiety, why it gets cold, birds stop singing, etc., and reading about it gives lots of ammunition against people who try to frighten us.
In 1999 there was a total Eclipse in the southern part of Germany with the core-shadow path not far away from the place where I live. Of course we drove to a suitable spot to watch it. It was really amazing - a once in a life time experience.
It was cloudy on that day. But with the start of the eclipse it was becoming darker. And somehow there was a light wind and the clouds disapear and we had the full sight direct to the corona.
I've never seen someting spectacular again.
I envy you. And I wish I could be with you to see the eclipse once again.
It's like time stands still. There were a lot of people but there was also silence. Everybody stood there and was enchanted.
But it's only a short moment. Only a minute or two. But it's overwhelming.
I wish, I could be there...

Hello @Bonxie
Thankyou for sharing with us about the time when you saw the total eclipse.It sounds like a very special experience to witness The specialness of it has remained in your memories.

I brought home the cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched part of today's eclipse in our pool.
Hello @MadameLee
It is very great that you have now got the cake home! That is very good!
It is nice that you watched part of today's eclipse in your pool. It is a very special sight to see.
One of my "autism" thing is that if everyone who reads the paper is in the house. Until after fruit time-the newspapers must STAY on the table until then. Since I don't normally read the paper until lunch. Well Dad thought I was "rude" for saying that the newspaper must be on the table so that OTHERS can read it and not have Dad hogging the entire thing in the Family Room.

If you are able to get a female doctor as a result of filling out the form, then perhaps you could arrange that you and your mother both have your resulting introductory doctor appointments on the same day?

in this case I don't.. (if I did.. I wouldn't be needing to taking the cakes mom bakes on my knees for the picnic in the car. Most of us are on ODSP at the program.
@LyricSimsz15 Just found your post. We had a total eclipse in 2015 in the UK and Europe and we are still here. It's just that it is your turn to have one. Our next one is in 2090. Did you know that there is an eclipse of some sort every 18 months somewhere in the world?
"On Friday 20 March 2015, a solar eclipse was visible in the UK (and parts of Europe, parts of Asia and Africa)." Just do some research and wear some good glasses to protect your sight.
Don't take notice of any doomsayers. I read a book last year about the doom expected in the first millenium AD 1000 and as far as I could read from it, it was the doomsayers who foresaw their own deaths as the rulers of the time found them a nuisance and killed them off for all the nuisance and unrest they caused.
Maybe the link with "Doom" came about as people looked at the sun and blinded themselves? Just sayin'
Try to enjoy it. It doesn't come often.
> Okay, so on Monday, there is gonna be a solar eclipse. And this sounds dumb, i know, but i'm actually quite scared of it. I mean there are all these rumors about it. "The eclipse will end us all" "The eclipse will paralyze America" "The eclipse will unleash a pack of rabid vampire wolves that will feast on all baked chicken" (that last one was obviously made up). I believe in the end of the world rumor less, because the world was supposed to end in 2016. And 2015. And 2014. And 2013, etc. But it's still kind of scary for me. I'm probably gonna be laughed at for this....
Given everything that's been going on lately, both stateside and otherwise, it's not surprising if you're feeling anxious. In fact, there's a running joke in my group of friends that the events of August in particular make the eclipse feel like the intro to an alien invasion / apocalypse movie! Anyone who chooses to laugh at you because of this is showing that 1) they have no social skills, 2) they have a weird idea of what is and isn't funny, and/or 3) they need to find a hobby.
Now, what you said about the "rabid vampire wolves"? That's pretty funny, but it also might be useful. It might help, in fact, if you feel yourself getting anxious / worried / afraid, if you redirect your thoughts to them-- imagine a pack of R. V. wolves going to the closest diner and getting all pouty because they have to wait for a table, then arguing over what they want for an appetizer, then basically inhaling a couple hundred pounds of chicken, and then going outside again, and in wolf form, flopping down in the grass to nap!
Giving your brain something to focus on, especially something that's so obviously not realistic, may help the worrying go away.
I used to get anxious about everything I didn't understand and found the best way of dealing with it is to learn about it. I used to be frightened of spiders now I find them fascinating and can even get them out of the bath. (with a glass and card).
Your Smithsonian museum has got a lot about this eclipse and loads of stuff about eclipse anxiety, why it gets cold, birds stop singing, etc., and reading about it gives lots of ammunition against people who try to frighten us.

It was cloudy on that day. But with the start of the eclipse it was becoming darker. And somehow there was a light wind and the clouds disapear and we had the full sight direct to the corona.
I've never seen someting spectacular again.
I envy you. And I wish I could be with you to see the eclipse once again.
It's like time stands still. There were a lot of people but there was also silence. Everybody stood there and was enchanted.
But it's only a short moment. Only a minute or two. But it's overwhelming.
I wish, I could be there...

Thanks @rosemow
There are no words to describe a total eclipse. It's so amazing.
This is an original photo from 1999, but it's only a poor reflection of what you see in real:
Hello @MadameLee
It is very great that you have now got the cake home!
It is nice that you watched part of today's eclipse in your pool. It is a very special sight to see.
