My 20-year-old autistic daughter's period starts two weeks before it starts! If it feels as if she needs to put on a pad she will--whether or not if she needs one. We go through a lot of pads. Anyway she vomited yesterday all over the bathroom floor. And then again in the red bucket--the designated vomit spot away from the toilet. She did not spill a bit. After mopping, the taco salads I had planned did not seem appropriate. She didn't want anything anyway. Now I understand why women were sent out-of-camp to the edge of the river during their time of the month. Yeesh.
A place where women can complain in peace about their hateful periods to other people who won't be grossed out by the conversation. By other people I mean women.
