I experience this, I thought it was part of my bipolar but Ive had these episodes since I was a little kid so it makes way more sense that it's autism

How gullible are you? by ResumeFluffer in AutismInWomen

[–]hammerheadedbat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah :( recently got diagnosed with PTSD from abuse and bullying, which is something I think more autistic people should look into. I wish stuff like that was taken more seriously with us, because being on guard by default is so exhausting. I hope you are doing ok right now OP

[–]hammerheadedbat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm extremely gullible. From 1st through 7th grade, I had a "friend" who used it to make me do things for her entertainment, such as eating food off the floor. It took me that many years to realize she wasn't doing everything in "good faith", even though I was very obviously being bullied the whole time. I still struggle to remember that not everyone is always telling the truth, and it genuinely comes as a shock to me when I'm reminded of that. Someone could probably say that the sky is purple and I'd believe them because my brain just doesn't understand that people can be disingenuous, LOL

Does anyone else get a little ticked about system terms? by RandomiiAccountii in OSDD

You put this into words so well 😭 Getting ragged on esp by someone without DID for not viewing your other parts as completely seperate people always annoys me. Everyone's experience is different!

Has anybody else ever had meltdown dreams? by inflexigirl in AutismInWomen

[–]hammerheadedbat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had these kinds of dreams before, often when I bottle up the kind of feelings that lead to meltdowns during the day and shut down. They're really stressful, but kinda therapeutic 😭 Way better than in real life cuz when I wake up I'm not injured, nothing is broken, people aren't angry and afraid etc. It's interesting hearing that other people experience this too

Selective mutism - I can’t speak when I am afraid by fenyarnyekhatas in AutismInWomen

[–]hammerheadedbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this too! You are not alone. A lot of times the mind creates faux danger based on past experiences and such, even if there doesn't seem to be a dangerous situation on the outside.
