I had a breakdown yesterday evening, and my parents wouldn't let me leave the dinner table while they attacked me with questions like, "What is acting going to do for you?", "If you can't handle a clock ticking, how will you ever be able to achieve your dreams?", and "You need to stop focusing on yourself so much. That's why you are having problems with life."
They have this way of talking- a loud, firm voice that stings more than if I was being screamed at.
My coping mechanism is to look away and hug my knees, or a full fetal position. They get angry at me when I do this. I end up sobbing while they decide new rules and schedules for me.
They also pointed out that since I've been getting therapy, my symptoms are getting worse. My therapist is currently talking to a psychiatrist in order to diagnose me for Asperger's.
I:
don't like being touched. It stings- and keeps stinging until I can touch the previously touched area with my hand.
become severely uncomfortable with ticking noises and high pitched noises, and can't handle things like feet jiggling, arms swinging, and blinking things- like car lights.
I also have problems when people touch their upper lip, or fiddle with things on tables.
My question is if it's Autism, or these behaviors are relevant to something else. My therapist thinks that it's simply hypersensitivity, but she doesn't have a psychiatry degree- that's why she's conversing with a Psychiatrist.
(I'm fifteen.)
