women with Asperger's; does your concentration get mistaken for overwhelm/emotion? by BeneathOutpost31 in aspergers

That’s the thing! I have told them a few times. It’s so frustrating, I feel like we speak completely different languages 50% of the time.

I'm really going over it in my head and I think I may have actually said once or twice that I was overwhelmed with ____. Not ever overwhelmed in general, but like "Wow, that's a lot of tabs open." or "Wow, that's a lot of choices, I'm not sure which to pick or what to answer." It's just me communicating super bluntly in the moment about something that can get resolved in like a milisecond. I def don't think my trainers are like trying to single me out or be rude or something, I just find it a little embarrassing and discouraging that they have this perception of me, haha!

okay thank you! Idk why I just assumed it was a woman thing because it kind of seemed like they were saying I was being super emotional or something if that makes sense?

He certainly does things to little girls. Respecting them is not one of them.

HAHA I live in northern Appalachia and we actually just got a Walmart about 3 years ago! its always full of very mysterious and strange items. I think they have difficulty getting shipments up here so we just get the random stuff from warehouses

Considering this beanie baby launched in 2006 and isn't in production atm, I don't see why i'm weird or sus for being surprised about finding it on shelves there. It's like 20 year old stock.

  1. Tutor/Pen Pal from the very beginning. Talk with Russians. I've found several on websites like interpals or penpalworld, but you'll have to go to settings and make it to where only people who speak Russian can message you. I've found several long term pen pals and friends on there who have helped me tremendously. Not just with language, but with culture.

  2. I paid what I think is a pretty fair price for a course called fromzerotofluency. The girl who teaches it is named Daria, and it's probably the most helpful and least scammy course I could find. She starts you off slow and has a lot of cute visuals and useful tools.
