GIRL'S STUFF, FOR WOMEN ONLY. MEN-DON'T EVEN START READING THIS STUFF

[Dorothy__0__0]

  I am a high functioning autistic 15 year old female. I have some problems with my stomach, including low calcium level, etc. from childhood. This never caused me a stomic pain, but on my physical examinations doctor could feel in my stomic that there was something wrong, I am not really clear what it was. But she said that this might have something to do with my severe food allergies during childhood. I noted that I feel a very acute pleasant sensation when she touches my stomic on physicle examination. For me, physical examinations are one of the most pleasant thinks in my life, because my stomic is being touched, which feels SOOO great. I am very happy that I have to get stomic examinations frequently not only because doctor can give me right medications, but also because she actually touches my stomic, which I really enjoy. I am wondering, does this pleasure have anything to do with my stomic problems. I am sorry I don't know exactly what they are, but tell me can it possibly be resulted from any kind of stomic problems, if yes, give me the physiological reason for it, just curious to know. Or may be this has to do with autism- I know autism has to do with oversenseitivity of certain parts of the body. Also everybody, including my doctor, note that my body is very weak, it looks like it has no muscles at all. My stomic just bulges out despite the fact that my weight is below normal. It is possible that I have too much fat despite being underweight: my bone structure is very thin and has no muscles, this might contribute to underweight. I am wondering whether haveng too much fat, or too little muscles, can contribute to oversensitivity of stomic. Or may be it bulges out because it has no muscle to hold it in shape (it is very soft, and I can easilly compress my stomic with a hand, which is also feels very pleasant). Or may be bulging out has to do with my stomic disturbances, such as low calcium level. I thisk this staff is quite privite, so I address those questions to women only, if you are a man, please do not respond.

Thanks for the question but I'm not sure how much help we can be. You may wish to post your question on the general forum. My guess would be that the physical pleasure you recieve during these procedures has nothing to do with an underlying stomach abnormality, but is more on an emotional level possibly related to your autism and need for tactile stimulation. You should address these questions first to your doctors who may help you understand this behavior.
