I have MS and Autism.
Finding out that I was on the autism spectrum, surprisingly, didn't feel good. It was confirming my misplacement (if that makes sense) and that it's something permanent that I can't resolve or remove. Then comes along MS and now I feel like, I've gone beyond the observable universe and i'm just way too different to fit in. A horse can't have a child with a dog and I can't fit into this society. I don't know what problems to focus on sometimes. I get into feeling down about MS and then it might shift(ms - pun intended) to thinking about being on the autism spectrum.
I've heard low Vitamin D is linked to both. Maybe it's just a coincidence or a curse.
Sorry to vent. I am mostly positive lol . I'm mostly positive that I can live a good life with both these "conditions"
I hope you guys have a good 2019.
Merry Christmas and happy new year.
@africatoms A lot of us are dealing with more than just the ms and it isn't all visible! I happen to have Breast Cancer as well, had a mastectomy, have a rubber friend cos I didn't dare have reconstructive surgery because of the ms, one has necessary surgery but not just for looks but I look normal, I bet you do as well. You are not alone, there are lots of us, so keep your chin up, keep fighting🥊✌🏼😍
@africatoms , as @grandma alluded to, many people manage burdens throughout their lives. Why us? Well, we are warriors and we can manage it! :wink: And Merry Christmas to you and yours.
