Tuesday October 22, 2024 | I struggle with reading

-
Yes, I know how to read but this is going to sound strange.  I struggle with reading.  I mean I can't consentrate on the words when the words all run together.  And then yes, I know how to read but I don't know what I am reading.  That sounds so strange.  Now what is that mean?   

Let me tell an example.  Jason struggles with reading and he has ADHD.  But does he understand?  Another example is AJ told me once that he struggles with reading and he once told me has ADHD.  I look at the example of Jason total asshole and then AJ a sweet caring man who has ADHD.  Now what does that tell you about people with ADHD?  You can control your symptoms of ADHD can you?  

When I was five years old and for years after that, I would look at my parents and wonder where I got my selective mutism from.  I do wonder if my sister has anxiety but not as bad as mine as I have a severe anxiety disorder.  I think I am on the autism spectrum with just a few autistic traits.  I believe one or both of my parents have ADHD and or Autism with anxiety with it.   Now I don't totally understand what I am reading but I know selective mutism because I do have it. I am on the autism spectrum.

Sunday August 25, 2024 | My dream on Saturday night August 24 | Hypnosis for selective mutism

-
I had a dream that I was in the hospital in Galveston Texas like the one I was in when I was 10 years old.  Working on getting rid of SM through hypnosis.  Is there a good hynosis therapist in Beaumont Texas who specializes in selective mutism?   I am determined to overcome selective mutism now or at least most of the way.  Some idiot told me that I won't be able to overcome SM entirely.  Ugh!  Or will I be able to overcome SM entirely?

Wednesday August 28, 2024 | Do parent's say this to their kids who have a disability? (the highlighted words in this blog)

-
Got this from copilot from the question I asked, " would people pleasing be an example of "you don't want to disappoint mom do you"? "   Is this true?   Sorry I had a flash back of my dad saying that question phrase that is highlighted in yellow.    (A phrase that my dad said to me when I was 3 and 4 years.)  Ah, the delicate dance between parental expectations and a child’s desire to please! 🕺🌼 Let’s waltz through this topic, shall we? “You don’t want to disappoint mom, do you?” —a phrase that can carry both love and a subtle weight. It’s like a mini emotional tug-of-war, with the child caught in the middle, clutching their teddy bear and pondering life’s mysteries.   Here’s the scoop: The Mom Guilt Tango : Parents often mean well when they say this. They want their child to succeed, be kind, and make them proud. It’s like they’re handing the child a bouquet of expectations, hoping they’ll bloom into the perfect little sunflower....

I knew this when I was 5 and no one had to tell me this. So is this really true? But because I have selective mutism, my learning challenging and people think that I am stupid. It is that communication thing that people think that I'm stupid. I know the highlighted and BIG LETTERS SOUNDS unreasonable, I just want to get across to people that I am anxious all the time! Do I have to start cursing for you people to hear me? I will. I know that BIG MOTHER OF ALL CURSE WORDS. I bet no one knew that did they? Actually, I got it from those kids at the hospital in Galveston when I was in the hospital back in 1984. So I knew about that word when I was about 9 or 10 years old. Actually when I was 4 years old I felt like I didn't belong because I was trying to tell myself how or where I got my selective mutism and I felt that way for a long time. Maybe my dad has ADHD? Perhaps my parents have ADHD and it somehow turns into autism in children? High-functioning Autism. I th...
