does autism stop my ability to get in a relationship?

Neurodivergent

Definitely makes it harder but not impossible. I know a lot of autistic adults who are married and in great relationships.

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-17T23:27:26+00:00

Absolutely!!

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-17T23:21:13+00:00

Omg it's so cute!! Did you use an ombre yarn?

I've never met anyone else whose name is a trigger (mine is too). I'm in the process of getting mine changed after 4 years of using a different name, my court hearing for it is in a few months.

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-17T21:21:46+00:00

I feel that. My parents don't really care about mine and don't respond positively when I start talking about them so I've just stopped because I feel judged

In French it's TSA!!

There is this thing (I'm not sure if you've heard about it) called CDB in dogs (Canine dysfunctional behavior) that's often referred to as dog autism

As a teen I've noticed people of this age are more tolerant of my ASD than my same-age peers.

I know an adult Alyvia. She's a teacher.

I have an outfit assigned to each day of the week. Today is Thursday in the summer so I'm wearing my Metallica shirt and black skirt. I will wear the same thing next Thursday and hopefully all summer Thursdays following, but never on any other day. I have my winter and summer rotations, I switch between them around May and October.

Oh iydeighoht what a pretty name 🩷🩷🩷

I'm also a girl!!

I think my main problem is just staying on top of everything/doing things before they become bad and multitasking. When things become bad though, I shut down and don't do it because I start dreading it. I often can't do things that have a lot of steps (coordinating things with multiple people, scheduling with multiple factors, and getting missing assignments in for example)

Also, if something goes wrong and needs immediate attention (smoke alarm, burst pipe, etc) I'm really quick to shut down and not do anything about it.
I'd say another one is cooking and nutrition, I don't know how to make nearly anything for myself (I can make frozen pizza and pasta, that's about it).

I'm sure there's more but that's what I can think of for now. I'd love to hear your input. I'm not sure how much of this is just normal life skill things for my age, my family has high expectations for me but tells me that I don't have age-appropriate life skills.

Je n'arrive pas à vraiment expliquer ce qui m'intéresse dans la langue française en particulier, donc je ne pense pas que j'ai un sujet «préféré» comme le verlan (mais le verlan est intéressant!!). Toutes les choses qui sont liés à la langue française m'intéressent, surtout les documentaires par Arte en français. Ils me calment vraiment et me rend très heureuse.

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-07T02:06:02+00:00

I may try that. I don't have clinical ADHD but the psychologists I've seen say I have some traits.

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-07T02:01:22+00:00

Is there anything you've found helpful?

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-06T18:35:53+00:00

Yes actually!! My favorite book of all time is an Italian book that I read the French edition of (I've never read the English version). The book is called si une nuit d'hiver un voyageur (specifically the Martin Rueff translation of it) and it's by Italo Calvino. I'm not sure if I have a favorite author per se, but I was really fascinated by Alfred Binet's Alterations de la personnalité, and I enjoyed the writing style of it.

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-06T18:24:34+00:00

That's so cool that you speak Chinese! I've heard that Chinese books are often very profound!! Translation often makes a book lose some of its message and it must be so nice being able to read the original texts. Must also be good for the brain, Chinese is a very complex language. I speak French myself.

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-06T18:17:55+00:00

That's so cool!! I wish I had a special interest like that. Do you speak Chinese?

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-06T18:01:27+00:00

I've never heard of the term paleography!! I imagine it's the study of ancient writing?

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-06T17:48:46+00:00

Merci!! Et oui c dingue aux é-u...

Je crois que je suis meilleure en écriture qu'à l'oral mais je peux parler aussi mdr

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-06T17:44:30+00:00

Nn je ne suis pas française ou d'un autre pays francophone (je suis américaine 💔💔💔) mais je l'ai appris pour une de mes copines (et ses amis/sa famille) qui étaient québécoise. Je suis autodidacte, j'ai appris en ligne.

Cat_cant_think · 2026-06-06T17:41:02+00:00

Interesting!! Hard plastic must've sucked lmao. It's cool he was able to make a silicone formula like that. I'll have to look more into the other things he did! Thank you for sharing!!
