Autism?

[Davina]

I have a few clients that have autism it helps if i am told in advance as there are varying degrees and different characteristics. If I know then I can be aware of how I can make the experience for them the best. Everyone is different also I never feel in danger and they arent obnoxious and entitled. So tell the lady give her a reference and when she sees you are serious you can explain a little how it affects you. I have dyspraxia and it's a laugh between myself and regulars that I'll suddenly fall off the bed walk into walls tho they do watch out for my feet as I've accidentally kicked a few in the head. It's the differences that make us all interesting and speaking for myself and my escort friends we are kind patient and want you to enjoy your appointment xxx

No problems with flying
It’s the crashing bit that worries me

She made the flying comment because I've taken a few really long haul flights. I like to have several hours gap between take-off and landing.

My daughter has autism and was only as she got older that we began to understand her a little better. Will I ever fully understand what it is like to live with autism, I can't! Nobody knows how another person truly feels.

I have struggled for many years with PTSD. Do I even understand it myself, the answer is no. I was somewhere recently where orange bands were beating and beating drums. I had nothing to do with the parade and a little way from it but the constant beating noise triggered something in me.

No one can walk a mile in another persons footsteps. We are all struggling in some way

The biggest heros are ordinary people who learn to overcome the fear of everyday life and make through another day.

How does it affect you when it comes to this aspect of life, ie escorts?

Do they mind or would they prefer someone more "normal"?


I suspect I might have the condition -someone close to me said I have it- but at any rate it was never diagnosed and there was not much talk about autism back in the 1980s and 90s,

I remember when visiting (Sisi Massage)- I got talking more than usual and for some reason asked her the question "do you think I might have autism"?

She replied that her only thoughts on me were that I was a good guy,

lol I felt so proud that day afterwards- going off topic slightly- but amazing what a positive word can do for someone who is feeling maybe a bit underwhelmed or feeling they are not quite good enough in some way.

Are you receiving help for the PTSD?

Was it a single traumatic event that caused it? My friend, who I talked about in a different thread had a similar trigger. The trauma specialists he spoke to believed that the drums triggered him because during his traumatic event he associated with hearing his own heartbeat in his ears. So rhythmic bass sounds could send him into a spiralling negative feedback loop.

Hi over 13 years of multiple traumatic events, ending in severe physical injuries when my number was eventually punched. Once you see something you can't unsee it. I tempted fate too many times. By the law of averages there is a bullet out with your name on it that will eventually find you. In my case it wasn't a bullet, but a house collapsed on me and I was buried alive for a time. I had been giving medical aid to a young guy at the time and sheltered there for cover. I thought the dangerous bit was over because me and another guy had gone out and dragged him back to what we thought was safety.

My body is covered in historical injuries and scares due to my previous profession. I have tinnitus in my ears, hearing is f*****d and stuffer form depression, anxiety and PTSD.

I don't know why the drums got me the other day, perhaps it was the loud repeating sound. I'm on a waiting list for help. First, I already spent months on a waiting list to be access for help.

I've had several blocks of counselling sessions. They only seem to make me talk until exhausted. To be honest I have had better advice for some of the girls I met on here than all the doctors and counsellors l have met.

I had a healthy respect for escorts, I can empathize with them because I sometimes used be the guy meeting people alone and without backup, I didn't know who was going to walk through the door and in some instances if it was the last face I would see. I used to live a double life for a time and the person who I constructed started to get confused with the real me. It was difficult to turn him off and turn Joe back on.

Most of the people I worked with are dead, they were killed or killed themselves. The rest are alcohols or smoked themselves to death. I don't smoke or drink, but food, escorts and guitars are my additions.

This week I met Red Natalie and today Big Booby British Betty and I was able to park my shift for a couple of hours and forget. Perhaps, this is why I hold these women in high esteem because they are my way of forgetting all the shit if only for a little while.

I hope that when you eventually do get sessions with someone that they are an actual trauma specialist. What they do is almost entirely different from what a generalist will provide. Escorts and guitars are not the worst ways to get yourself through in the meantime, and hopefully that keeps you going until you get the help you need, and deserve.

Go well, man.

What about autistic escorts? ^-^

[FredBiscuits]

Hopefully I can answer that next week.
