Well, I'm in the Pain tribe, the Asperger tribe and the Dropped on the head as a child tribe, if that gives you some idea of my obsticles.
I have facet joint disease, nasty bit of crap that.
I am on the Autistic spectrum, which is a gift and a curse interchangeably...or both at the same time
And I'm not sure how the concussion fits into it all.
I was also raised by hippies but that's another type of hidden....uh...somethingorother

Re: My Story
Sun, December 3, 2006 - 7:55 PMHidden disabilities...wow...it took a while for me to find a tribe like this, but I'm here now. I had hydrocephalus (sp? when I was a baby and had a shunt inserted at one year old and had a replacement about a year or so ago...so with that package came REALLY bad short term memory, barely any sight in my left eye, and coordination issues like you have no idea (well...maybe you do.)...
Yeah, so I'm in the pain tribe too, like I said. Maybe it's as a result of the aformentioned surgery., I have really bad coordination and some circulation issues, this I also psin issues in my feet, which isn't always apparent but SUCKS...in as few words as possible.
Anyway, enough from em. Glad to be here. -

Sun, December 3, 2006 - 11:44 PMAre we naming our particular challenges here? Bipolar has generally gotten me credited with bad behavior, and it's so exhausting. But I do love the "highs" when I feel totally invulnerable and omnipotent. That's probably dangerous, though. Yet, here I still am. -

Re: My Story
Mon, December 4, 2006 - 12:08 AMI went out for six years with a bi polar aspie...that omnipitant thing did trip him up, but he looked so happy when he was in it....watch out for that first step though, it's a doozy! We shared a passion for brain chemestry, quantam physics, ballads, and dancing. It was awsome at times and frightening too. Deffinately not stable. But in the end he had to be him, and I me. My mood swings more rythmic.
Naming them is interresting for me...
what i am particularly interrested in exploring the dance of whatever it is that challenges us.
how do we relate, create, become...and endure while sharing space with a challenging presence.
