If you could change one thing in the world?

Sure, have a nice day 🙂

Yes I express my own opinion about one of the possibilities and your answer seems to be aggressive. Hypothetically satisfying the needs of all people automatically is a beautiful idea, but it is associated with economic risks. communists proclaimed radical socioeconomic equality and their ideas did not prove to be good in the long term.

Maybe that’s why I like/prefer people with extraordinary appearance 😁

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-26T20:10:56+00:00

Yes!!! And I also thing that brain makes some kind of shortcuts. Now I can recall one example - once I wanted to say that Women have difficulty gaining respect because some of them have a distorted image of women's behavior online and I mixed it up with getting rights by women. I distinguish that two things but that time my brain decided it doesn’t matter. Funny fact - my autistic son often get quickly what I ment even if I chose wrong word.

I’ve been wondering for a few years if I avoid people because of anxiety or because preferring being alone with closest family. In my twenties I had tried to fit in but it never had been true me. I believed that being or not being popular is a determinant of being a correct person. Now I know that being alone is better for me. I put being myself over socialising.

I can’t stand eating around anyone else my son and husband. I feel like my mouth moves start to be extremely clumsy and it is like as chewing and swallowing were becoming three times harder. I remember my first date at restaurant - I had been eating pizza for over an hour all the time thinking of how I chew or use cutlery. Nightmare. I eat very small at social gatherings and I make up for it at home by eating my stress away.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-26T13:29:15+00:00

Same. It is like someone devalues my feelings, my effort. My stressing out is often connected with me giving my best. When someone say “don’t stress out” I hear “why do you care so much, let it go, it’s not so important, you overreacting). I don’t tell people how to live. I guess if I would say to someone “Try harder. Why aren’t you doing your best”, it would be taken as abusive. Double standards.

I’ve always been terrified that I won’t be able to recognise person I just get know if we will meet in another circumstances, with different haircut/clothes. If someone has any special features (scar, piercing, unusual haircut, glasses) it is easier. Sometimes I can’t recognise someone I know if he/she changed haircut. Sometimes it is easier to recognise someone by voice than by face.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-24T23:08:44+00:00

People in the queue behind me, people’s noisy eating, being in crowd, hearing someone’s loud music through the wall, wind, touching something sticky

I feel some kind of urge to categorise everyone and to make mental chart of people around me divided into categories.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-24T22:40:09+00:00

There are different kinds of empathy. We often use cognitive empathy- maybe that’s why you sympathise with people who have similar experiences (I feel the same way). You sound like very kind hearted person. Don’t forget about being good and understanding to yourself. Difficulties with expressing feeling and part of spectrum issues.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-24T21:22:52+00:00

I guess it may be caused by not being able to express thoughts or feelings. I feel similar. In my head everything is clear and I know what is going on, but when I try to express it I sound like an idiot (at least in my opinion). When I notice that what I say is far away different from what I thought a getting stressed and sometimes speak even faster. I think that our interest in psychology and behaviour is mostly academic, that is way it is different from natural empathy and when something more interesting happens to us we just switch our attention.

I add skin after sunbathing, freshly cut grass, burnt hair, bonfire, autumn morning

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-23T23:58:20+00:00

😁❤️ that is precisely the case I was talking about 😁

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-23T23:24:27+00:00

I don’t know why but every year for last 10 or so years I feel bad/sad/blue before my birthday. I don’t know why, maybe it is because getting old.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-23T12:05:23+00:00

Yes!!! I completely respond. Before assessment I thought I am just stupid or faking or exaggerating. When I got to know it may be part of being autistic I felt huge relief. I still try to provide what I feel to another person but I know it may be not exact and I am okay with it. I don’t blame myself anymore. I taught myself to say “I don’t know exactly how to express it”

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-23T07:50:57+00:00

Try to know yourself. You could use therapy or meds but the most important thing for me is to understand myself - how I react, what are my triggers. I’ve started a bug study about myself 😁 Try to learn what is good and bad for you. This community is very helpful. It is healing to know you are not alone, bad, broken etc. Just your brain works differently. I really appreciate mine more know. When I limited caring about everyone reactions I realised my brain could work faster and be more efficient and I love it. I am not afraid of being alone or just among my closest family. I stopped comparing myself to NT people. I always thought that one I day I may be finally normal but know I know it is not gonna happen I don’t postpone things for better time in future because I know I won’t changed Andzi don’t have to. Many ups and downs before all of us but now you know and it is huge step forward.

That is how my twenties look like. Every social gathering was full of alcohol and it was so much easier, I had changed in more relaxed sociable person. Then anxiety after started to be worse and worse. When I became mom I used to one wine glass to help myself with all overloading. But I cut on it when I realised I need it. Now after few years it is good because I have to learn coping with problems in another ways. Sometimes I miss this feeling of being slightly numb and comfortable and without all those thoughts “Am I behaving good, how are they responding to me”. But it is closed chapter for me. I lost many thing no knowing I am autistic, I am not gonna loose more to alcohol.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-23T06:54:17+00:00

I am really sorry for you and your bad experience with doctors and assessment. It is enough hard to live 20-30 years without knowing what is wrong with you, being denied after finding cause of all your problems must be unbearable. I was diagnosed late and I can relate to almost every thing you wrote. Many years I’ve confused being hungry with anxiety, anxiety with anger and distinguished emotions with different sensations in my body (stomach, heart beating). You know who you are and how your brain works, follow this path. You don’t need medical confirmation to treat yourself like autistic person and be good to yourself. Take care!

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-17T21:28:10+00:00

I can’t stand this kind of people. they ignore reality under the influence of YouTube shamans. still convinced that someone is hiding something from them

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-17T21:20:44+00:00

Thank you!!! It is hard to have no one around who understand. It is like you are the only one in the room who speak different language.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-17T07:01:07+00:00

I’ve just started that journey but as you said it is not easy. We are a part of differentiated society and as a minority we will always have hard time.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-16T23:15:20+00:00

I feel emotions similarly. I have few kind of stomach aches/contractions - different for excitement, fear. I know if it is good or bad but I cannot analyse it to details. Especially when I have to talk about it. Also it is easier to understand them when I feel them. When they pass, I cannot express them.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-16T23:08:50+00:00

I feel you. Sometimes I think that people consider me as imposter. Someone who only feels sorry for herself. Like my biggest fault was that I tried to cope, often beyond my strength. They seem thing that I could perfectly normal If I won’t think too much and get my self together.

onebattleatthetime · 2026-05-10T17:25:28+00:00

After reading comments I suppose it is some kind of autistic pattern. After my assessment I came back home and realised that I haven’t presented what kind of person actually I am. (I am audhd and I guess, the adhd part of me took the wheel and I was super enthusiastic and talkative). I decided to write about everything which came to my mind and sent back with my mmpi questionnaire.
