I’m trying to adjust to being diagnosed at age 54 with AuDHD. I can drop the description of my self as weird (since that’s the right wing moniker from Tim Walz

#Disability Today I learned that they have identified numerous candidate genes for almost every disorder I have. Most importantly there was fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and they indicate AuDHD. Why don’t we emphasize the genetic roots of autism?

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome update: Although I believe my mother has hEDS, she is taking a DNA test soon. Whole genome. It could reveal the source of autism markers, fibromyalgia markers, my brother and I have in our limited DNA testing results (think 23andMe). Meanwhile: Oww, this hurts. #Disability

My therapist had a family emergency and took two months off. That means I can’t pinpoint who to process this rapid decline End Times chaos.

#Epstein So why did the birthday book surface when it did? Ghislane Maxwell. She is the one who sent a shot over the bow to force His Griftiness to give her a sweetheart deal.

I don’t think Ehler’s-Danlos is identified as an autoimmune disorder, but fibromyalgia wasn’t either until recently. I am very suspicious that fibromyalgia is not linked to EDS.
