• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Wow, I just saw Mozart and the Whale!

Awesome!

I'm a bit more high functioning than they are as far as interactions with people go. Somewhat, but boy could I relate.

I wish I was that good with numbers though. That tends to be my weak point. Irlen syndrome/dyslexia, whatever you want to call it. The stuff doesn't stay still on the page and I flip it and can't retain it in my head.

But I've been told by a music professor that I have perfect pitch.

I think my husband is an Aspie too. It's about the only thing that explains him. He's gifted mechanically. Most of our arguments are over taking things too literally, both ways.

Sometimes we can tell, sometimes we can't.

If we are in a bad space, things get all jumbled up quickly.

I collect things inside the house. He collects things, mostly in the garage. We are both semi afraid of moving each other's things. It's awful!!! :D:D:D

But, it's our only chance.

We've both had failed relationships.

After my abusive husband died...I used to pray and ask God if there wasn't somebody like me. Someone that would understand me and be patient with me. Someone that would love me in spite of myself. Someone that would see me for who I am not what they want me to be.

God gave me Ben.

I don't watch too many movies of this genre, but I did like this one. As far as interactions with people, I thought Mozart was rather good. I am probably comparable to the Whale. I am rather an idiot when to comes to social interactions, they completely elude me. I do meet the math stereotype rather well.

Must be nice! I'm dyslexic or that stupid syndrome. Lights do bother me and if I use a yellow sheet, stuff stays still.

But math never got easier! I can learn it but it goes away. I can't seem to retain it. I did a mini-mester and actually got a 4.0. I couldn't remember the math later.

Congratulations on marrying your husband Ben!
I have seen that movie. I cannot remember how much I related, I sometimes make flustered hand motions when upset like the Whale did and I am bad at getting rid of things and I have bad social skills and cannot make friends.
