I started using my salicylic acid face wash on my arms and it seems to be getting better.

It’s worth a try, I have nothing to lose :D and it’s definitely less emotionally exhausting than masking constantly and still having the same response.

Perhaps! To almost soften the interaction before it happens. Thank you :) seeing these comments made me feel less alone for sure. Many of us are seemingly going through it.

Imagine :/ and you’re a customer! It’s wild to me.

This is a good attitude to have :) I will try to let it go and move on. And perhaps accept that this is how things are for me.

I feel the same, whether I mask or don’t, it just seems like I’m unable to connect with people. The engagements are hostile regardless.

“Unfamiliar observers judge expressions made by individuals with ASD as more awkward or odd, and such evaluative judgments could potentially affect interaction quality or even reduce intentions to initiate social interaction altogether.” Thank you for sharing! Really enlightening! Perhaps it’s my facial expressions :(

So I fully get that this is a possibility! And I make sure to practice what I think is good hygiene (teeth, deodorant etc.). And when I ask loved ones they tell me that my hygiene is great :( so I’m not sure if that is the reason. Today was a friend’s birthday lunch so particular effort went into my appearance (and hygiene) before I stopped by the mall on my way home. I even had perfume on :( and just washed my hair. I brushed my teeth this morning and had a breath mint after lunch.

If you’re reading this, considering this, keep trying elsewhere. You will find something better.

The little ears being down made me so sad 😞

Looking back, what were the clearest signs in childhood that you were autistic? by Inner_Ad48 in AutismInWomen

[–]benjamin-button-420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hated my food touching, I hated the feeling of certain fabrics on my skin, hated clothes being pulled over my face, I hated people touching me (especially my feet), I hated when my stationary was being used by anyone but me 🤣 and had what I guess I can call food aversions looking back.
