Tomorrow is my high school graduation ceremony, and for months I have been worrying about it because I know I won’t like it. My class has over 700 kids in it and I’m friends with about 5 people, 4 of which I see weekly and 1 who has other friends they…
This may sound worse than it actually was but I felt bad and feel the need to say something to the mother to make amends. I play a non serious sport with some other women and we have training on Friday evenings.…
So for context I'm currently diagnosed with ADHD, but I just feel like that isn't enough to capture what I'm going through. I have all the DSM-5 autism symptoms, so if I really pushed for it then I could probably get diagnosed, but another part of my mind…
Does anyone else frequently find that a lot of people dislike you even though you feel positive towards them? I also have been told that my friends thought I hated them before we started talking more. I never hate ANYONE!!!…
Does anyone else just always walk around feeling decent but then almost always get told by someone that “you look so sad” or “you look depressed” and then it just ruins your mood It’s hard to socialise with people when their first impression of you is…
"Fidget toys are ridiculous. ADHD and autism didn’t exist back in my day.” Oh yeah? That’s because we had: - clicking pens - chewing pencils - speaking into fans - peeling Elmers off our hands - rubbing that broken shirt seam - drawing the cool S - bouncy…
Do you guys also experience this ? When I’m drunk, I love everyone, I’m a social butterfly, I love having fun, I get jokes and show affection without acting awkward but when I’m sober, I’m a total loser that is awkwardly shy, pessimistic, not spontaneous…
If I got diagnosed twice with autism do you think I should get diagnosed again to make sure? I feel like I didn’t explain myself well enough to the evaluators and maybe I could have been exaggerating or not understanding the questions completely.…
After 12 of what felt like the worst years of my life, I'm finally finished with school. I'm graduating tomorrow off of a pretty close call. After what felt like decades and a millennium, I'm finally getting out of here, and by God it feels good.…
Me and my family suspect I have low-level autism, but one of my major struggles with this is hygiene and self care. I don’t shower unless my parents say to, and it’s even rarer that I brush my teeth.…
To preface this, I don't expect that I'm the only person here who finds a lot of my own suffering quite humorous sometimes, despite it not being funny from most points of view. If that may upset you then this post isn't for you, you have been warned.…
Title's pretty self explanatory, I have a 5 years old little brother that has severe autism. In his case I noticed that he CONSTANTLY needs a background noise like a video on loop very loudly or if he can't have that he just makes an extremely annoyingly…
As I've gotten older and being single, I've realised that I can only really feel relaxed and at peace when I live in my own space, completely alone with my cats.…
I keep seeing well-intentioned posts trying to reassure people that nobody really knows what they are doing and that nobody gets anything perfect. But… I’m just not convinced. Because that’s not how people have reacted to me throughout my life.…
So I am not officially diagnosed but my doctors have heavily hinted in likely on the spectrum. As I research it, it's starting just to make so much sense.…
I’m honestly completely devastated by this. I moved to a different state so we pretty much only game together, but we talk pretty much every week. He’s much better at video games than I am. Sometimes we both trash talk.…
I’m a newly dx Autistic adult. I’m an Occupational Therapist in a hospital. Today one of my patients was an autistic nonverbal teen. He’s admitted due to aggressive and violent behaviors and they’re trying to send him to an inpatient psychiatric facility.…
Sometimes I’ll come across a TikTok of people eating some YUMMY looking food and I get excited cause I wanna see people review food and see if it lives up to its visual rating in my head.…
For me, I would say eating the same every day without getting tired. Eliminates thinking about daily menu. submitted by /u/Awkward_Kitty_Cat_93 [link] [comments]
I am not cold or mean. I am actually nice. I do smile when appropriate. I even have genuine smiles, and I like to have a genuine laugh. But geez, with people in person, 98% of the time, it’s so forced. Too much labor on my cheeks.…
