Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey guys, Being an adult with ASD I know what it is like....found this poem and thought I would share it. You will have to cut and paste. It is called " Exposure Anxiety, The Invisible Cage " By Donna . This explains how many of us, including myself feel when we have ASD and how we feel. Many of us have lots of problems going out and about, blending in, being and looking " socially acceptable " , this list serve makes it easier for me....still have problems one on one, face to face with people....here I don't have to worry. So much like KiKi my " Shy " ASD daughter....we both heal today. No wonder why me and " Pink Floyd the Wall " had so much in common! All the psychiatric drugs just made me " comfortably numb " as the Pink Floyd song goes....today I don't take no meds (they didn't work anyways and I would know)...today disregard " labels " and false diagnosis......today I heal on SCDiet. Look forward to seeing DAN for any other helpful alternatives.

Day 38 and healing from a damaged gut that caused me to disappear and hid behind the " wall " all my life.... the rainbow I can now see....the butterflies in my home including my own all emerge......thank you Elaine.....able to get out and about without anxiety....celebrating life for a change....learning to play for the first time in my life with KiKi and my kids....have a long ways to go....thank you all for helping us EVERYONE! Thanks, The " rain women " of sorts, Antoinette For information on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, please read the book _Breaking the Vicious Cycle_ by Elaine Gottschall and read the following websites: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info<http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/\ > and http://www.pecanbread.com<http://www.pecanbread.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
