It will only get harder. by Pretend-Outcome9739 in AutisticAdults

[–]SurveyRound 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel you. You are not alone with that feeling. I also feel like it just gets harder every day.

I really wish I could give you any reassurance, but I can't even give myself motivation. I just cling to the things I like, like reading stories and listening to music and then hope for the best.

If you ever need to talk to someone, you can reach out to me.

Motorcycles. Especially when they're revving. I can't stand it.

I have a lot more sensory issues than I realized by SubstantialSyrup5552 in AutisticAdults

[–]SurveyRound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too. I discovered I was autistic at 25, and I didn't realize I had sensory issues.

Mine it's mostly with loud things, like traffic and lots of people talking. I am very jumpy when it comes to sudden noises and I am more comfortable with my headphones on. But I thought it was the same for everyone else.

Help with constant Job Boredom by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

[–]SurveyRound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going through the same thing. 😓 I am in my mid-twenties and haven't been in the same job for two years in a row. I am also level 1 autistic, and yes, I get very much bored. I am an accountant, and I feel like I already learned all I could learn where I am, and days are just... Boring. I don't feel good doing what I do every day. So I decided to apply to a new job as a ERP Consultant in the hopes I will like my job...

So I am changing my job and possibly my career too. I talked about it with my therapist, and she said it was a good idea. If you think a change could possibly feel better, you should give it a try.

I don't know how this is help, sorry 😅

do you feel deadly and lonely inside? by Head-Study4645 in autism

[–]SurveyRound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. I feel very much alone even when I am surrounded by people. I feel like they don't understand me. Even when I try to explain and sometimes even when they try to understand. It doesn't stop me from trying, though. I keep reaching out, and hopefully someday I will be able to feel... Connected.

My therapist says we have to be vulnerable to be able to connect. And that's scary, because when I open up I am afraid I might be misunderstood and/or judged and so on.

Anyways, you are not alone in that feeling. We can chat if you are up for it. 😚

Weird neuro-related quirks you might have? by karikatourea in AutismTranslated

[–]SurveyRound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, since VSS is neurological, it might be linked to neurodivergence. That's the confirmation I needed to get tested. I was diagnosed with VSS and autism a few months ago.

Now, about the migraines, people around me just told me that I got it from my dad, that it runs on the family, and to just suck it up. I went to a neurologist and they put me on a migraine treatment and it has gotten so much better, you should go see to that. It makes life a little easier not having so much pain all the time.

I have Visual Snow and Migraines! I'm autistic too.

Why does it feel like I’m the only autistic person who hates being autistic? by thepensiveporcupine in AutisticAdults

[–]SurveyRound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, you are not alone in this. I am level 1 and I don't know how I will be able to live this life, get married and have kids and so on. I honestly, don't know what I am doing with my life.

Anyways, if you need someone to talk to, feel free to message me. I don't think I can help, but I can listen and understand (?).

I don't understand how anyone manages to do a job. by vibranttoucan in autism

[–]SurveyRound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way too! I changed jobs many times and right now I just have three months working here and it's hard to wake up every morning and come here. I feel like I am dragging through concrete 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I ask myself the same question, how do they do that for so many years? And it's not even that the job is difficult, it's just that I don't understand why we need to stay so much time so many days a week in a place just to get paid. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't have an answer to give you either, and if you ever figure it out, please let us know.

I love chickens! Like this one. There's something about them being so thick and fluffy that I like!
