How California Clubhouse Changed My Life: Leo’s Story
I have been battling Asperger’s Syndrome my whole life.
I was first officially diagnosed as Aspie when I was a 13- year- old 8th grader in middle school in December 1996.
I have also been battling both relatively strong OCD and epilepsy my whole life.
Before I joined California Clubhouse, I was constantly driving the whole world totally insane with my totally unpleasant memories of high school.
Before I joined California Clubhouse, I was constantly berating my late seriously developmentally disabled dying next door neighbor, Mary, in order to resolve our totally dreadful personality conflict. I was deeply suffering after my closest neighbor and my only friend, Nick, ghosted me after he got married. I was constantly addicted to Facebook in order to get attention. I was constantly searching for romance and marriage for love and commonality, which I simply just don’t have with my seriously developmentally disabled adult neighbors, and was only failing.
After I joined California Clubhouse, I got over all of my totally unpleasant memories of high school. California Clubhouse members and staff are always ready, willing, and able to help me where my seriously developmentally disabled adult neighbors simply just cannot. I forgot Nick for good, I’m no longer constantly addicted to Facebook in order to get attention, and I’m male bonding and helping people with my California Clubhouse buddies, rather than having been divorced twice by 42 after having married for love and commonality due to lack of commonality, sensitivity, vulnerability, and wisdom between men and women.
Before I joined California Clubhouse, I worked as a production worker and stock clerk in San Carlos and Redwood City. Currently, I run my very own Facebook medical advice blog which I call International Holistic Medical Collaborative.
International Holistic Medical Collaborative, as well as another smaller Facebook medical advice blog that I run, get lots of attention from both California Clubhouse members and staff, my Belmont doctor’s office, Sequoia Medical Group, office staff, all of my Facebook friends, my Stanford Hospital resident psychiatrists, my psychologist, many of my dear longtime family friends, and many other members of the community in San Mateo County.
After I joined California Clubhouse, both my relationship with my family, and my relationship with society in general deeply improved successfully. My attitudes towards both myself, my life, and my future have also deeply improved successfully. My self image has also deeply strengthened successfully, and my inability to live in the moment has become less of a daily personal problem for me.
California Clubhouse has also helped me become excellent at resolving totally unexpected sudden two-way streets.
Perhaps people gave me a bad time when I was 16; I gave plenty of people a bad time when I was 16. People still gave me a bad time when I was 27; I also gave plenty of people a bad time when I was 27 too. My neighbor Mary and I were constantly giving each other a bad time when I was 36 while Mary was dying at 59.
None of us are getting any younger.
But, I just turned 42 on March 18, and now that I’ve joined California Clubhouse, nobody’s been giving me a bad time for any reason for years now already.
Even when I had absolutely no friends with whom I had commonality, I always completely understood that the consequence for befriending any totally decent individual who I met in public simply just because we got along would be that in the end, friendship simply just wouldn’t grow due to lack commonality, sensitivity, vulnerability, and wisdom between ourselves.
After I joined California Clubhouse, I befriended lots of people who are just as interested in me as I am in them, treat me kindly and wisely, and are totally vulnerable and sensitive tome despite my daily personal problems which affect both myself, and others every minute of every day.
My hopes and dreams for the future are to continue running International Holistic Medical Collaborative and Moscovich Psychiatry on Facebook in order to educate more Facebook users about Aspies, OCD, epilepsy, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, family medicine physicians, nurses, physician assistants, FNPs, medical practice office managers, medical practice patient coordinators, psychiatrists, neurologists, other various types of totally serious intellectual and physical disorders, and other various types of medical professionals.
