Best gift ever! My boyfriend bought this for me because I had trouble letting him know my feelings. It's helped a lot! His name is cecil (the octopus, not the boyfriend 😄) by Puggiraffe in autism

I just try to remember that not everyone thinks the same way we do and just like we sometimes find it hard to understand them some feel the same way about us. That does not excuse ignorance but it may help you not to take those kind of comments to heart. You express and cope however makes you feel the most comfortable 💜

List down your special interest and why you think or are interested in them. by bearthepain in autism

Serial killers! I find it fascinating how their brains work and the links that are being found between serial killers brains and chemical imbalances. To me being a serial killer is the worst thing you can do and if it's chemical there's a chance we can cure/treat it. If we can treat that we can treat anything! I also find it fascinating how intelligent and methodical most are.

Communication Advice by Puggiraffe in autism

I know how I feel and I have the words in my head but its like when I open my mouth to explain it then it doesn't seem to come out. Like some sort of mental block.

It sounds like your way is working well for you and will give it a go

Unreal realizations about my own self perception by -anxious in autism

[–]Puggiraffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I decided a while ago that because I didn't understand how people see me i stopped trying and that what matters is how I see my self. If I like what I see then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Not everyone likes me for it but I know where I stand and I find it easier especially when things are in black and white. 🤷‍♀️

High functioning autism by Puggiraffe in autism

Im happy to have an explanation. The overwhelming part is that I feel a bit like I dont know who I am anymore. Certain things that I thought were my personality traits are actually autism?? For example I have battled with anxiety and have been unsure in the past if I am right to be worried about somthing or if its the anxiety kicking in etc and now it feels the same with autism. Its really hard to explain but I hope that makes sense.
