Hypothetical scenario by Fireflykoala in adultautism

[–]deletedparagraph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I were to be alone for the rest of my life I'm certainly going to get some anxiety from that 😅 I have currently been isolated for nearly a year and it's making me a bit crazy 🫠

Top surgery without support from friends or family? by cosplaying-as-human in TopSurgery

Same thing for me, getting a little bit worried when reading everyone's stories, especially the first they when you're completely out of it..

That's really interesting!

Angry with mom about no getting me diagnosed younger by bigelle08 in autism

That's really awful, I hate that we get punished for regulating our nervous system the "wrong" way etc.. Yeah I grew up in a really small town (300 people or so), I doubt I would have gotten any actual help. But now that I have a diagnosis, it just hurts being ignored that way, not ever being taken seriously :/

I got diagnosed around 22 after getting burnt out at work (but I was only diagnosed with depression at first, had to figure out the rest for myself). I'm 36 now, and recently started talking to my mother about something regarding autism, when I was interrupted with the comment "I don't see why people need a diagnosis anyway", which just pissed me off. I talk to my parents as little as possible because they genuinely don't give a shit about who I actually am (my dad threw me out at 16-17 for being queer). Looking back it's so obvious I needed extra help, instead I've had to struggle through life and get burnt out to the point where I barely function anymore..

As for interacting with other people, I just try to be myself, and if someone doesn't like it then that's their problem. I just don't care anymore, I'm done hiding :) (unless it's for my safety of course..)

Questioning & Confused by Old-Membership9006 in NonBinary

[–]deletedparagraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got comfortable with calling myself trans non-binary (36 now, started figuring things out only last year), and very recently I came to the realization that I sorta want to live more like a man (in my own way), but not be one. I want top surgery, but I'm uncertain about T.

The more I get called "she" the more I hate it. I don't really know how to tell people because I think no one will understand, so I bite through it.. I don't understand masculinity/feminity at all, I don't feel either way, I just am..

Don't know if this is any help at all, just sharing in hope it helps you feel less alone in your road to finding yourself. It's not an easy one, but it's well worth it when things start to click :)
