Ok, I had a preauricular sinus, which I have had removed because of later complications (apparently is more common, but I can’t find the specific data) and probably dyspraxia (of which diagnosis I won’t seek, as I have already had enough trouble with the great Slovenian medical system (at least we have public health insurance)(as you can see, I also can’t shut up if that’s in the DSM)).
ADHD
ulcerative colitis
Fun fact: My GI doc was the first person in my entire medical history as an adult that hinted at me being autistic, even before the MH providers.
The second one sounds painful. I didn’t know bowel health problems also collerate with autism. I do know NE and DUI correlate with ASD. I did ocasionally wet my pants at school until I was around 13 and wet the bed until around 15. Edit: As you can see I can act like an asshole and realise it later. Sorry for making everytging about me. I was just trying to say I understand you somewhat.
Oh yeah, when I’m in a flair, UC is super painful. I get hospitalized for 1-2 weeks, during which they give me IV dilaudid every 4 hours. Luckily, that hasn’t happened in a few years.
I wet the bed until a pretty late age too! I don’t remember exactly what age, but I remember being really self-conscious about it. I think I was in middle school (12-14 y/o) when I was still wetting the bed. I still make sure I pee before going to bed every night. I didn’t know that was associated with autism tho. Interesting! I wonder what other weird things are associate with autism that no one told me about.
I don’t think you acted like an asshole at all, and I think that sharing your experience helped us relate on common experiences. If you feel comfortable, pls continue doing so 🙂
