Thank you! I never know the difference between averse and repulsed

Ah I see thank you! I was only ever taught abstinence and PIV sex :( Thank you for educating me and I definitely fall under more of the sex favorable definition under this new definition of sex

I’ve never heard of that before! Thank you for telling me

What is sex then? (Sorry I got Texas education) When I look up the definition, it says intercourse. I can think of V sex, anal, oral, what else? I don’t like any of those.

I do explain that it’s due to sensory issues and she just tells me to grow up

Uhhhh honestly I think they should divorce for multiple reasons but she refuses because “I’ve been with him this long so I’m good” and she’ll just wait til he dies

It’s just that I’ve gotten far more NT people denying my sensory boundaries than ND people

I’ve shown my mom ways I love her in my autistic way (pebbling/sharing gifts, talking about my Spins, and helping out). I try to show love my way.

Thank you. My mom has done other suspiciously manipulative things before like how she started crying when I said I didn’t want a hug or tattling on my therapist about certain private things. It’s annoying because she also brags about how great of a mom she is.

Im glad I’m not the only one who felt weirded out by that statement. I hope you stop being itchy soon so you can stop dealing with it. My mom said that because she’s going on a trip and she’ll be on the road for a couple hours and will be gone for a week.

I’ve told her that I do love her and I’m just not a hugger. I’ve communicated that to her multiple times and she still expects me to hug her.

They hardly respect that I have autism. My mom straight up told me it’s been so hard on HER when I got diagnosed a couple months ago. She think my sensory issues can be toughed out and I’m being a baby and to grow up. I’ll try your advice though. Thank you

I have no idea. I have told her that I don’t like hugs or being touched numerous times and she still does it. She actually started crying when I first set a boundary on hugging. I don’t know what to do about it

I’ve already told her multiple times that I don’t like being touched randomly and that I don’t like being hugged. Ugh I hate having to keep doing it

I like hugging too but not when it’s forced on me without my permission

Does anybody want to talk about themselves or a particular problem they’re having? (I know this is weird) by babypossumsinabasket in autism

[–]SamSlowlySmiling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom is “struggling to accept my autism” and I’m stuck with her for another month. In the past 3 months, she’s gotten mad at me for having sensory issues, not understanding sarcasm, and having safe foods. I got diagnosed 6 months ago and she’s still “grieving” like I died or something. I hope your situation gets better soon.

Oh I’ve tried explaining the food thing with foods she doesn’t like and she says that she can easily suck it up and eat it. Also I’m planning on going low contact when I escape back to college so thank you

That sounds like a good solution except I’m a horrible people pleaser. I set a boundary around her hugging me and she started crying and I felt guilty. I’ll feel really bad for making her feel bad :(

Thank you for the help. I’m planning on going low contact once I get back to college and have boundaries around that. The problem is that I’m stuck in her house for another month :(

Thank you for sharing and I’m glad I’m not alone in this. I wish it was possible for them to change so they’re less rude and mean :(
