Asthma was just something I've always known. It is simply a fact of my life. When it's all you've known, well I wouldn't say it's nice, but you learn to adapt.
That it concealed the meltdowns, even from me, is something I've had to realise. It's the reason why, when I first realised I could be autistic I didn't think I had meltdowns at all. Only looking back did I see it and realuse why I am able to, if not control them entirely, at least be able to shut them down so quickly. Because I basically shut myself down.
It's amazing what you can learn to do when the choice is otherwise perhaps dying.
