How Did We Get Here

Did you guys know that research shows that people who have autism (diagnosed or not) are more likely to experience trauma compared to their neurotypical peers? We are also more vulnerable to developing PTSD and C-PTSD as a result of the trauma?

On today’s episode of “How Was I Not Diagnosed Sooner “
I’ve been a caretaker for my grandparents for nearly a decade. A few months before my grandma passed, I was helping her get dressed after a shower. She was distracted about something or another and was resisting putting her top on, while also getting irritated that she was cold and didn’t have her top on.
Me- “grandma, if you focus on getting dressed you won’t be cold and then we can move to what you want to talk about
Grandma- “I can walk and chew gum at the same time you know” *very snappy and irritated with me*
Me- “uhm grandma? You’re in a wheel chair and have no teeth You can’t walk or chew gum” *totally serious and deadpan*

My grandma immediately started laughing (It’s funny because it’s true) and I was like. I was just stating a fact but I guess I’m funny 🤣🤣

That’s top tier me without a filter

Funny story:
I went to the store today to grab a few things I needed. Once inside I was distracted by a dog who had found his way inside the and was stealing bakery items for snacks. (The best chaos i could imagine in a store) I volunteered my spare dog harness and leash I keep in my car and put my basket down to go get it. Gave the dog some love and made sure he was secured while staff could figure out what to do with him. Then I went home. Once there I went to unload the groceries and guess what? I NEVER GOT THEM 🤣🤣🤣 I got back in the car and even though I live just across the street I forgot what I was doing and ended up at the gas station instead. Walked in and remembered I don’t need gas, oh! I must have been going to the store and went on auto pilot. Drove back to the store, and thought, no this can’t be where I was going, I was already here today. Gave up and came home. 3 hours later. I just remembered I still needed to go get groceries 🤣🤣🤣
I’m glad I can still laugh about these things, but damn is it frustrating and so much wasted time. ADHD in its peak form today lmao

How long for straterra to start working after dose increase?
