    Trying to find someone who feels like I do..

    As far as how I feel about others on the spectrum? Less judgemental toward them then just very uncomfortable, frightened and concerned about what they might do and my safety and the safety of those around them. I also think "oh no that's terrible!" In the way i would feel to find out someone...

    Gadabout:. to empathize with me because you're autistic, to be honest, that's why. Nor can I empathize with anyone. Empathy is a concept that our brains are not even capable of understanding.

    Trying to find someone who feels like I do..

    This is why I can't let anyone who knows anything about asd get near me. They'll figure it out and immediately realize they are a better person, I'm evil and also I'm incapable of understanding things. I'm like a child. I'm an idiot. I'm not worthy of life. Why is autism the worst thing a...

    Trying to find someone who feels like I do..

    Honestly it wasn't horrible and I didn't get called restarted when I didn't have a diagnosis. I had friends. I had a job. I had a great car that I loved and I went on a great vacation every year. Was I a geek? Absolutely. Was I weird? You might say so, but not in a bad way. Did I have...

    After Diagnosis

    What is the most important thing about being a human? What makes a human a thing different from a computer or a wind up toy? Ability to relate to others. Theory of mind. The spirit of connection and understanding that united everyone. Theory of self. Empathy. Above all else, perhaps...

    How to handle therapy

    No. The thing is I definitely have some personality traits that are associated with ASD. It would not have been 40 years ago, but now it is. I'm totally within a broad definition of the autistic spectrum. That's why I hate myself.

    How to handle therapy

    If I put self diagnosed then that's a mistake. A therapist told me k was definitely on the spectrum 6 years ago. I went to them because my doctor recommended it to help deal with a lot of anxiety that I had over some workplace stuff. In retrospect, what I dealt with at work was not even that...

    Trying to find someone who feels like I do..

    I grew up never knowing I was on the spectrum. I really want to find someone who feels as I do, so I can find someone who understands. I was diagnosed 6 years ago. People say being diagnosed as an adult made them feel better or improved their lives. I wish I knew someone who identified with...

    Do Aspies like other Aspies

    How to handle therapy

    I think there is some choice involved in being diagnosed with autism, because all medical things involve consent. I've considered seeing a mental health person to try to help me with my extreme levels of self hatred and my inability to break the cycle of self harm and substance abuse. There...

    How to handle therapy

    A therapist told me I was autistic a few years ago, and since then I've honestly been afraid if therapists and won't see one. If someone told me they are a mental health professional I'd start sweating and need to get away from them I'm terrified of shrinks. I'm afraid one will call me autistic.
