I've printed off the list of things that help you stay alive. You are an amazing woman, and always remember that your friends appreciate you.

Thanks :) I have a very similar experience as you do w/being happy. When my mind is clear and I can think, I am generally very happy, even bursting with it if I've been feeling bad for a while. It is a huge relief. I'm sorry you have such a hard time too. It's nice to know that there are folks like me in the bay area. Someday, I will come to a meeting, but I may not talk much ;) I look forward to hearing from you. There is private messaging on this site for registered users. Anyone is welcome to register.

In fact I like it a *lot*. I'm in a bit of a rush at the moment but I look forward to writing you in the future. Is there a provision here for a private post or email? I am on the autism spectrum. I don't experience the screaming you describe (at least not in many years), but I do experience a persistent sense of terror and isolation. I have attempted to address this with years of non-dogmatic prayer and meditation. *Inside* the torment I find I am very happy and almost burst with a desire to share it. Have you any similar experience? Greg ):) Lori, As I mentioned on the Autastics bulletin board I enjoyed your post. In fact I like it a *lot*.

I hear you about the huge amount of internal processing required to even understand what all the words mean and how they fit together, and then make even a simple response. It is exhausting!

All that about the computers and not being taught it, totally makes sense. The delay in hearing, that is a major part of my life. I've finally noticed that this delay is in everything. I also figured out that while it may appear as a delay, it's actually this huge river of processing the mind does in parallel. It's like my mind processes a single word one hundred ways, it looks for hundreds of interpretations of interpretations. And this happens in real time, and on the outside i might look a bit dull, but on the inside is a whole world that occurs in a flash. Then i have to turn that world into a single response, and that is the toughest part, to communicate an answer. This is a beautiful post, thanks! -manji- www.shugyokai.org hi, your story is so familiar… while i don’t get screaming in my head, i get “deafening silence”, every once and a while the mind just gets so silent i get dizzy and it’s like i can’t hold on to anything because everything disappears. this happens rarely these days.
