Thanks for this. When my daughter was in middle school (She is now 26 ), she had two approximately 2 week long bouts of extreme pain in her lower abdomen. Lots of imaging and consultations yielded no diagnosis. At the same time, as she was nearly bedridden, she asked me to run a shower for her. She came right out and said it was too painful. I asked her if it was too hot and she said no. She couldn't take the pressure of the water. I knew it was a very low pressure shower head that most people would find too weak. I knew something was very strange but I did not know what. My daughter had an ADHD diagnosis in elementary school but these types of symptoms were never mentioned to us. We still don't know what the first symptoms were.
Thanks for this. I’m still learning how much I have tried to tune out, and how thoroughly my discomfort and overwhelm has translated into other reactions.

There so much we need to understand about neurodivergent girls
