Good for him!! what is he studying? BTW what are you studying, I thought I read that you are a student-Law? There are two Lawyers that perform with us in my Bellydancing troupe, some of my best friends!! I love your stories, cant get enough. Im in the perfect field, my energy has a place to go and I can treat in so many different places, if the energy in the therapy room is wrong for me I can be other places . . . My issues start when I have to sit in front of the computer and document (for sometimes 2 hrs straight) Or I have to write for a lengthy time - very fatiguing as I have nerve damage in my hand from an old orthopedic injury. So I spend extra time when my coworkers go home I reVeL `IN THE QUIET oops baby hit the caps. I have always made my own accommodations for myself. I hope he finds a field where he can do the same. I wasnt diagnosed properly until I was 33 however. So I'm sure it will be better for him!! I really had to fight for them to listen to me and try to diagnose me thouroughly- (I look so darn average). I had been told so many things- crossed dominant, bipolar, depression, anxious, imagining things, moody, silly, attention seeker etc. finally after college and getting into grad school I finally forced the issue and voila, what I had suspected the whole time. So now I could go beyond the fact that I am subtly WRONG and now I have a definable condition that make sence with the odd way I think & the fact that I cannot screen any stimuli out- I'm a sponge I take everything in!! I am also so much more intuitive, and creative than the average. (my creativity is finding solutions not so much in creating art, but finding interesting solutions- I can fix almost any wheelchair in the place with the right parts!! I draw the line at power chairs-very complex!! OK now even Im tired of the rambling-but you get the picture I know you do. Im happy for your brother. Big step and congrats!!
