theautisticcoach,

What’s been the most important thing you’ve learned about yourself during your journey?

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic that I will never understand most people in this world, especially when I see them doing lots of things based on emotional outbursts instead of rationality, logic and knowledge.
And thus it's losing time and energy to try to understand and/or explain why it's very confusing to me. Better to admit I live in an absurd world surrounded mostly by ppl so weird and absurd to me.

18+ zigi_now9,

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic The fact that many of my family members have Autistic blood in their veins.
Thus seeking a cure would be a transgression against my ancestors on par with cutting my hair, which itself is on par with cutting off my limbs! /ex

I always wanted to do something significant & make a difference. And I the fact is, I’ve done that. I’ve managed to come through some very difficult experiences in spite of ( & to some extent, because of) my ADHD & being autistic. And in light of that, my achievements have been significant, & I know I’ve made a difference to some of the people I’ve engaged with along the way, mostly positive.

It’s not anything you’d write a book about (but …), unlike a celebrated scientist/artist/athlete etc, but I’m pretty chuffed.

How I learnt myself much better is being around people who generally cares. I felt tied down being with people who barely gives much thought about me or verbally abuse me and their friend make excuses for them. Also, cutting people off had led me to feel much better about myself rather than had to mentally prepare myself of feeling unwanted.

Listening music as well as singing have been my coping mechanism. I tend to listen to it on the bus and in my bedroom. I went to the karaoke night one time and made copule friend there which any soical event I would have not as their usually too loud and difficult to try to know how to part of a conversation. With karaoke, you just pick a song that be fun to sing to and just have fun.

It sounds egotistic. But it's really the satisfaction of knowing I was right all along.

My decision making process became even more that of the planet Vulcan, with increased confidence.

Because I can look back and see all the stupid stuff I was asked to do for stupid reasons.

I am not a “bad” person.

Just because I’m not “easy”, doesn’t make me “bad”.

ihazrabies,

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic How to tell when I'm on the threshold of a meltdown and still have the capacity to pull myself out of it.

@ihazrabies @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic Ooh, working on that. I don’t have many nowadays, but more because of reduced stress than greater skill.

That I will probably always be a stranger to others.

@danimo @actuallyautistic big one. thanks for sharing Dan.

Npfmorsan,

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic That there are other people who, as a collective, think like me.

calofost,

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic that not everyone masks to fit in, still blows my mind that the majority doesn't need to. Really?!

n69n,

@calofost @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic
People that consider themselves “normal”?!?
People that assume everyone else is, too?!?!

joshsusser,
infmin,

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic that my sincere attempts to "get it right" will almost inevitably "get it wrong", but the fault doesn't lie with me after all.

Dr_Obvious,
@Dr_Obvious@chaos.social avatar

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic
That I am not on the edge with various ideas, perceptions, skills etc. I am simply on a different coordinate system.

brainpilgrim,
@brainpilgrim@mastodon.social avatar

@Dr_Obvious @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic Or that's what puts us on the leading edge.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic Is it silly to just say, that there's a reason why I am who I am?

roknrol,

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic That fitting in is a NT requirement and one that doesn't have to apply to me.
