Mild? Re: Cure

[Guest guest]

I'm a bit confused about " mild " too. Some places describe it as being at " mild

end " of autism spectrum, but I have bad sensory issues etc. I know I am

" milder " than my son, because I can hear tone of voice and he can't at all (not

sure if I learnt to or always could?), but that could be male/female difference?

Also he has megatantrums, whereas I internalise and get depressed (so really

just as severe). I don't get work politics at all and work has been a bit of a

disaster for me. Rather anxious person (especially lately with lots of worries

at moment)
