She has uncontrollable tics, which often cause her to jump, cringe, hit herself, or almost hit herself. Sometimes these are accompanied by sounds, clicks or pops.
If I were in her shoes, i would have felt that I had to do everything in my power to suppress them.
Must. Assimilate. Right?
But for her, when I talk about getting her help to manage / control / minimze the tics, she gets upset with me because "this is who I am. Why should I have to change? To make other people feel more comfortable? Nah, they just need to realize there is nothing wrong with me. I'm just different and different isn't bad."
Note: I don't think she is broken, or needs fixing, or even needs to suppress her stims. I just want her to have as smooth a life as possible.
I wish I was as comfortable in my skin as she seems to be in hers. I am so proud of her.
This is fair. She shouldn't have to change if it's not bothering her nor affecting her negatively. Good on her!
For me, personally, the only time I "change" is when personal well-being is taking such a hit due to mental health struggles that I have to actively seek help, either by reaching out and talking to someone I know (which I dread), or talking to a complete stranger (and paying them), which oddly, I dread a lot less.
It's not changing, either, when I think about it since I fundamentally cannot alter my brain chemistry to be "not-depressed" and "not-anxious". It just helps figuring things out without my own personal biases getting in the way. Same with talking to folks here: I get different strategies, viewpoints and anecdotes to draw information from and find a solution.3 -

How are you seeing who does the reactions; what am I missing?

Hmmm, wondering if going through chewy.com for all my dogs' meds and food would be cheaper. I pay much more for their needs than my own and it's getting awfully expensive.

More steps to do what you want it to do.. joy

I wonder if I'd care more about being/doing better if I felt like my efforts would pay off. Seems like it, but am I just making excuses for being lazy and not caring?
