Monday October 27, 2025 | Identify unmet needs from your childhood that still affect you today.

I don't know if my needs from childhood were constantly ignored.  I probably didn't know what needs were.  All I knew was that I had special needs.  My family should have treated me like I was normal.  I have other things wrong, too.  I have auditory processing difficulties, which I think I was diagnosed with at age 12 or 13.  I know that I was in junior high.  I got everything that I could possibly get, but there comes that time when you can't get everything that you want or need.  

Actually, I didn't know what selective mutism was when I was 4.  All I knew was that I just wanted to be able to speak to people.  I won't listen to Jason because he doesn't know anything about SM.  He doesn't even read anything about SM.  He just makes up stuff.  You know what?  He probably got that making-up stuff from his mother.
