    It could be a number of things that is related to your Dyslexia, many people have a comorbid and I think there is traits here that are similair here such as ADHD, and AS/ASD. which are causing you great Anxiety due to not been able to function with all the different messages and tasks.

     

    I would look up tecneques that help with ADHD as well as AS and look towards some theraputic therapies that calm your nerves down too, for example breathing exercises, meditation and if you can deal with toutch, remedial sports massage.

     

    How is your Caffine intake during the day, this increases anxiety and panic so if you can tolerate herbal tea it may help to help reduce your caffine intake.

     

    It sounds like you have a lot of different difficulties and your workplace surely must take into acount your disabilities.

    I am pretty bad at eating properly and my main food (if you can call it food) is chocolate. I only drink water and occasionaly if I feel off coulour like I am going to get a cold I will drink strong Ribena (ooh and alcohol). I have gone 9 years predominantly eating chocolate. Since meeting my now husband I have eaten a lot better.

     

    I tried a herbal thing a couple of years ago and can't remember what it was called when I worked in a call centre, that helped a little but I can't stand the taste.

    Am I being over dramatic about this?

     

    I took an ASIST (Applied suicide intervention skills training) course last year to get out of work but learned a lot about suicidal people.

     

    I recently went with someone to their counselor/psychiatrist (i can never remember which) and when they explained how they were feeling the guy they were seeing who called him and others that he had seen STUPID for thinking the way they did. To me that seems incredibly irresponsible and disrespectful.

     

    I was on a duty and was reading through a log of events that had happened that night and one entry documented in short that there was a distressed person that agreed to get help in the morning and promised not to do anything STUPID over night.

     

    Is it just me or does this seem wrong for people to use the word STUPID to describe the way someone is feeling.

     

    Sorry to rant on it's been bugging me, and appoligies for any offense caused.

    hi sorry to change subject slightly but i have 13 year old dd who has problems with seams on bras,she will only wear seamless and they have to be racer back style,the problem was not too bad used to be able to get them from marks and sparks but now she has got bigger,( need a 38b) am having lots of trouble finding anything,if anyone has any suggestions would be appreciated as we are down to 1 bra!!!

    and as others have said its not giving in to let them have it but at the end of the day we have to try and make their lives happy its not their fault!

    regards julia

     

     

    Debenhams are good for raceback bras and generally have a lot of different types. La senza too (see below) it just depends what she likes, Sports bras can be comfy too.

    Hi

     

    I had and still have this problem. I have to wear a uniform for my work and this can be a nightmare. I found most help at camping/hiking shops and sports wear especially running things. I can't cut labels out it drives me mad and as for turning things inside out, not a chance.

    I have helly hansan 'dry' thermal t-shirts which after a couple of washes has been fantastic, you can get these long and short sleeved.

    If I have clothes that irritate then I wash them using liquid and softner, which sometimes works, the bands on jeans can be tricky though. When I can I tumble dry my clothes to try and help soften them. Most of the time I just give up and try and find something else to wear, long vests sometimes work but they come untucked but that dosen't help.

    Plasters are another thing I use, I put them over the irritating part of the waste band.

    Seamless underwear for males can be got from specialiest running/cycling shops.

    There are a couple of websites online (see below) I don't know if they are any good but it may be worth phoning them to see if they can help.

    I hope this is some kind of help.

    Hello

     

    I have joined this forum to get more info on Aspergers, I have recently got to know my brother who has aspergers. My mum recently said to me that she has always believed I have it but never thought about it. I found out that I have dyslexia about 18 months ago whilst going through training for an administrative job.

     

    I have been doing this administrative job for 17 months and have been really struggling, I have worked in several different sections which is part of what the job involves. The job that I first started doing was really tough and I had to write several letters which I kept putting off and then got other people to do.

     

    Anyway things are getting really difficult now that I am working in an accounts section, I find it really hard to deal with so much paperwork and I get panicked by it all really easily. I find it really difficult to concentrate on the work and as its numbers thats not good. My one up lies and covers things up alot and this is totally against what I believe (if you muck up you take the consequences). He constantly changes things and I end up snapping and just can't cope. This job is so easy but I can't deal with it. I keep landing people in the poo and I get quite worried when I muck up. I decided to speak to my boss above him and he wants to help me with my dyslexia. I am trying to transfer to work with the things I love (horses) but it could take years or months.

     

    I find it really difficult to understand people and keep upsetting my husband because I don't understand.

     

    I am just completely fed up.

     

    Regards

     

    :)
