Supporting awareness of Zentai
I feel like I need to clear something up, not because it is all that relevant, but it illustrates my situation better I live in my father’s house with lycra spandex zentai suit, he is away on business 3 weeks a month, so I look after the place for him, and live rent free in solitude, that’s how everyone ended up here, also I am the only son in a family of six. Again, not that it’s relevant, but it just paints a more complete picture.
Actually V.M., most of my family doesn’t know that I have an ASD, I was diagnosed pretty late in live and decided telling everyone would probably just make them feel uncomfortable, and everyone was already used to my idiosyncrasies, so why rock the boat, right? However, your advice is still not bad, in theory; and if it were only direct family at my house, I would seriously consider it; it feels like it would be a good time to get it off my yellow zentai suit. But I have brothers in law, an Aunt, her son, and his wife, not to mention all the nieces and nephews….I don’t know.
I really do appreciate the advice; I just didn’t want people to think I was looking for help with what seems like an unsolvable problem. Just my way of acknowledging I am just whining.
As I told van man above, Most of my siblings and family doesn’t know about the ASD, and with all the other relatives, explanations feel like they would be even harder to deal with right now.
I am going to have to wear the headphones tomorrow though, Things got so crazy tonight, I had a bit of an outburst and I think I broke my rist. I’m going to get someone to drive me to the hospital tomorrow. (So please excuse my one handed, partially amputated left hander, typing.)
I haven’t had many violent outbursts at all since I started using deep pressure therapy, so everyone was really taken back. I got a lot of, “I thought you were more of an adult that that” type of comments; from everybody. Anything will be better than dealing with that again. Trying to explain that one away was a million times harder that whatever the purple lycra bodysuit would bring. Next up, I would like to express appreciation to you for reading my blog, and for helping me feel more comfortable with myself, and my situation. Your comments, along with everyone’s since I got here, have really made feel more at ease with myself, and my situation.
Fortunately/ unfortunately the Zentai didn’t arrive and tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Fortunate for the obvious reasons, and unfortunate, because I really think it’s going to help, and I was looking forward to trying to sleep in it at least. If my arm isn’t broken after all, I think I’ll wear my dive skin under my clothes tomorrow, It might get a bit warm indoors, but I can always take it off if it gets too hot.
