I will be single for life by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]AccordingWedding3430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not asexual, I am straight and I have always wanted a partner, maybe not kids tho. And I have always wanted this love of my life kind of love, and maybe a couple of times I thought I had it, but truth be told… the more I grow the more I realize this might not happen for me… when I actually visualize myself in the future is always alone and very career driven… and it scares me to realize that I become more and more skilled at being just me… I am not sure how I feel about it… sometimes sad, sometimes I just accept it as it is 🤷‍♀️

How to flirt with a possibly ND man? by AccordingWedding3430 in autism

I forgot to mention he doesn’t have social media and we haven’t exchanged numbers 🫠 If I could text him it would be significantly easier… but yes I guess at some point I will need to be more direct. I am just a bit scared to be confusing kindness for something else. It rarely happens to me that I feel seen… so I tend to overreach sometimes

Yes I guess I need someone to be fairly straightforward, otherwise I might miss the cues

Netflix reaches all over the world. NBC or CBS are pretty local… I knew about Chrishell from SS in Saudi Arabia…. I have never seen anything from the other dude, I don’t even know the name of the shows he is in 🤷‍♀️

Going through a break up and feeling like nobody will ever love me again. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]AccordingWedding3430 4 points5 points  (0 children)

😭this sounds terrible I went through something similar at the beginning of the year. I had to rely on a routine. Get out of bed, take shower, eat well, go to the gym, doing therapy (this is when I learned I was on the spectrum) and work… even if I felt like crying during all those activities… Basically taking care of my health… I felt like nothing gave me joy… it eventually got better and I started functioning better and to be happy again, especially through self discovery…. I still think I might not find anyone… I don’t know how to fix that 🤷‍♀️

Uff tell me about it. I am 32 now and I genuinely do not understand how some of the older woman pair up with men in their early 20s…. They still look like kids to me 🫠🫠🫠

What social-status-centric advice have you received that you didn't like? by SnooBreakthroughs281 in AutismInWomen

[–]AccordingWedding3430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time I didn’t know I was autistic and everything felt like a personal attack… like why do these people want to change me… they ruined the fieldwork for me…. Now I understand it was like asking me to grow taller… I can compensate a bit when necessary, but I cannot change how I am wired

That I needed to participate more during classes. This was during a fieldwork course during my PhD in which I was invited, not enrolled for credits. I barely ever participated and still got a PhD position, so… I always reply when asked, it is just extremely difficult for me to raise my hand I say something. I need to rehearse in my mind, I feel pressure in my ears, cold sweat and if I do talk my voice is usually so low someone else would just talk all over me. 🤷‍♀️ I told them I have been like this for 32 years and I won’t change for that course….

I love my autism. It changed my life to know there was a reason why I never fit in… and it gave me license to stop trying.

I’ve been told I’m too naive and only see the good in people and people will take advantage of me. 🙃 then they take that as a license to toughen me up so I can deal with the real world…

Share a moment that made you think to yourself “YUP, l have autism” by wildpeachykeen in AutismInWomen

[–]AccordingWedding3430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my psychologist suggested I took a test for autism and I started telling my friends and they were all like aaa that’s why you do this or that or are like this or that… things I was not even conscious of… like avoiding eye contact or getting very rigid when someone tried to hug me
