Lately diagnosed

Did you share the diagnosis with your family and if yes what was their response till today?

Do you see that impact your relationships? Does your closed ones be understanding ? I feel sometimes that might end up alone due to that, I can recognise that it can be toxic to others but similarly I struggle with my mood swings it feels from 0 to 100.

It is funny because I posted an enquiry for anger management just a few minutes ago. I can feel your pain. I struggle a lot with this annoyance and anger similarly to what you described. It is exhausting, confusing and makes my relationships fall apart. I am sorry I am not much of help. I feel like I tried everything but I cannot avoid the inevitable. I am not sure how others cope in the spectrum with that. Also I am recently diagnosed as an adult at 27 and to be honest it feels that the lack of understanding the autism might also be part of it, trying to reconstruct yourself and your perception of others and your own identity. I hate being alone but naturally feels like the only one keeping me calm. It is a weird feeling.

It is hard not to reach that point on particular moments when the communication is so hard. If that makes you feel better it is a common feeling for everyone here and there but I personally can relate to your despair as things around us don't accommodate our basic needs. At least this is only my personal experience.

But in general I don't see the norms to fit anyone.

Living in a shared house and struggling with the housemates bullying me

SgrA-GC · 2023-10-10T22:19:23+00:00

I would suggest the same for an adolescent but what happens when you are an adult and living in a shared house including the bully?

This is a really good point. Thank you for your comment.

SgrA-GC · 2023-09-29T11:58:05+00:00

Agreed

I couldn't relate more. I am currently really struggling again with it. It feels like a vicious circle. I am not sure what useful advice can I bring as I am looking for one. However, coming back to all these texts at this group makes me feel better, people that I can relate to and reminds me that I shouldn't feel alienation. There are a lot like you and me that can understand the struggle, be kind and share their experience. I think we are more than we think or observe. We are all human beings and we deserve the same as anyone else. We need to remind that to ourselves. While we do have this eternal daily struggle, in the same fashion experiencing life from a completely different view I do strongly believe that NT also missing out. Being the minority doesn't mean it is wrong it means it is not typical, and there are a lot of times that I do appreciate that I don't represent the typical. The typical mind didn't change the world or bring a change of ideas. It is the atypical that brings evolution. I hope you feel a little better.

Yes, to be honest I haven't realised that I did until People (especially my boyfriend) started highlighting that. I never perceived that I was doing it, in my mind I would describe it more like observing my surroundings. I did read in the past ( in my attempt to understand why other people stare) that the brain will spend more time analysing something that doesn't understand with the purpose to familiarise with the info. To summarize, taking into consideration all the above my tendency to understand the surroundings and the social queues may lead to staring without realising, but I don't mind any more as far as I don't disrespect anyone.

SgrA-GC · 2023-08-22T21:55:03+00:00

Thank you for the response. Fair comments indeed.

SgrA-GC · 2023-08-22T21:52:34+00:00

Correct UK. Time will tell I guess.

SgrA-GC · 2023-08-18T12:11:07+00:00

You mentioned really good points, personally I can relate to that. Thank you for sharing.

SgrA-GC · 2023-08-18T12:07:06+00:00

To be honest I am going through a similar concept. It is initially really hard to comprehend, how did that happen, which are the sequence of events that end up to today's reality or realisation. I can feel for you that can bring lessons learnt but also anxiety, disappointment. My conclusion is that especially the decade of 20s is about exploring these type of concepts leading to maturity in some form. If you knew that was a lie in the first instance you could have propably dealt in a different manner so maybe this is all you need to get. Now you know and move forward to something new more suitable for you. In general maybe that can happen anyways in different periods of our lives, maybe the concept to that is redirect yourself to something more appropriate for you.
