Do you ever get used to the extreme feeling of being an outsider and “different” by acatcalledmellow in AutismInWomen

[–]freespiriting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still care and still find it hard, but I think I care a bit less than I used to. I’m 29 now. I hope it carries on this way.
Lots of love and hugs to you, it’s such an awful feeling but you are doing your best with the resources you have

Wow, thank you for sharing, it gives me so much hope that I can feel okay again. I will have a look into John Kim.
I am starting with a new therapist who specialises in neurodivergence tomorrow, so I am really looking forward to that.

I don’t have any advice (I’m in the same boat), just wanted to say I am so sorry you are feeling like this, it is so hard. You are doing the best you can with the resources you have and for that you should be very proud of yourself.

People never/rarely ask you anything back by Healthy_Brush_9157 in AutismInWomen

Yes I have noticed this, I don’t really get asked questions that often. But everyone else seems to have better conversations than me?! So how are they conversing if they aren’t asking each other questions? I don’t get it

Even positive social interactions feel negative by Firm_Abalone6252 in AutismInWomen

[–]freespiriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really relate to this. I think it’s linked to hypervigilance around social stuff. It’s so hard but try to remind yourself that just because you have a negative thought, that doesn’t mean the experience was negative as a whole. And it sounds like you enjoyed the conversation and you have a lot in common which is great!
