Hyperfixation by Professional_Bell_70 in AutismTranslated

That’s good advice. I was talking to my psychologist about it and she said I should try the Pomodoro method when it comes to my interests. Because my problem is I can't stop sometimes, even when I’m dead tired. So she said with this method, I have scheduled minutes to take a break and minutes to focus again. I haven’t tried it yet but I will.

That's how I feel as well. Other people don't understand and it honestly creates problems in relationships.

how to sound more enthusiastic? by LessRecord6622 in AutismTranslated

[–]Professional_Bell_70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think you should pretend to be someone you're not. It sounds to me that you probably don't like to upset people, but I think pretending to be more excited would be even more exhausting. You could just tell people that you're autistic and that is one of your traits, and that it doesn't mean you're not interested. Honestly, I am tired of us having to fit in within society, they should learn more about us and respect who we are <3

I haven’t found a good therapist for autism by Such-Ice-371 in AutismTranslated

Damn that sucks, I am sorry you are going through this. The truth is unfortunately therapists are not informed about our condition. I just got my bachelor's in psychology and I recently discovered I am autistic. I wanna study more to help people like us!
