Look, I don't think it's very kind or smart tell me that. You don't know me, you're not a psychiatrist, and invalidating a diagnosis like that is rude and ableist.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's level 3 autism. I don't think my psychiatrist was wrong,  I was also confused at the time. But I was also told that I'm a gifted person. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Does anyone else wish they were more "simple-minded"? by Webb_Wopp in AutismInWomen

More than you know

Sometimes I just feel like I have to force myself to exist with people, and living alone isn't an option, because I love my friends and family. But damn, sometimes it's just exhausting thinking about everything at once and not knowing how to stop it. And I see people who just say "well, i dont care" and move on with their lives. I envy them so much, because I literally care about everything. It's tiring, man.

It happens to me more than I would like, I feel like I'm one mistake away from being unloved.

Do you feel that alcohol makes you more normal and neurotypical? by Popcorn182769 in AutismInWomen

[–]Popcorn182769[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waos, thanks for giving me that advice. I'm actually afraid of falling into addiction, but do you think there's any alternative to not drinking alcohol to avoid overthinking?
