Got final evaluation results. Received a surprise ASD2 diagnosis for my youngest, I thought he was ASD1 for sure. Happy for this forum and the amazing ASD2 posters to set a reassuring example.

I nearly lost my earbuds at the park but I was sitting next to an old couple and when I left they told me I left them. If it was a young woman who I nearly say next to instead glad I didn't, she would have not cared and I would have had to pay $50 to buy a new pair. This was not the first time a old person did this randomly.

I can't stand when people speak in a foreign language but swear in English.

What if they speak English and swear in a language you don't speak yourself?

You don't remember ever hearing a person curse in another language?
I have.
Not that it matters really.

On the plus side, you remembered that you have a therapy appointment.

At least you have a therapist. My mother is delaying getting me an actual license one not a quack student that betrayed my trust. Instead thinking it's okay to use my friends as therapists. Thank goodness they are all understanding.

Tired of masking

I wish there comes a day in which I can be me without any judgements

The places I am a part of where I go I never mask anymore and tell them I am on the spectrum because they actually accept me the way I am. The other place I use to mask park event I dropped them last December. Not only was it a pain to always mask but I felt so ostracized there.

Sometimes l stand on the outside looking in, and not sure why l have that feeling. Like l don't really have to belong, and it doesn't bother me.

Still struggling with social anxiety

Still don’t feel 100% in public, especially around strangers

I'm never at my best with strangers. Never have been...never will. Though it's why I "practice" with store clerks and brief, mindless conversations.

I used to have bona fide social anxiety/phobia decades ago.
That was then, and this is now. :cool:
But I am a lot older than you, Kevin...

I struggle with social anxiety in public more than I do around people I know. In situations where I'm less obliged to interact with people (like in public places) the more I feel like people are judging and staring and laughing at me.

I am drifting further and further away from my siblings emotionally.

How do you feel about that?

If I had a girlfriend or wife as well as children of my own, my bonds with my siblings would be different.

That's a thought.
Not a feeling.

Is this an indirect way of saying, once again, that you feel inferior to your siblings
and that you feel sad & angry about it?
Tony Ramirez
All my friends so far that I told I hate my autism and that I am useless that's four so far said that's not true. I am someone. I am greatly loved,appreciated and special.

I'm feeling good about myself still. Plenty to work on, but it's not as hard. Still difficult, but not the choir I made it out to be.

Low key want to hurt someone right now

I’m too nice, I lack the meanness, the dog that’s needed to be a man

Rough day? Me too. Water, vitamins, decent food. Hygiene, exercise, mental stimulation.

I'm old and rich enough to die alone but not rich enough to travel or do very much. Plus not well exactly, some health issues. You'll see. It's awesome

It's best to be assertive and confident rather than being a bully or a pushover.

To have peace and personal protection you need to be respected which means projecting a strong deterrent to others who might want to violate your boundaries. It's communicating that to challenge you is too high a cost to pay to be worth their while. That if they try something youre willing to take them down with you 😁

The people that you seem as criminals, as those you need the most

The people that you let go, are the ones who’s going to commit arson, robbery

Vape, murder and rape, three things I didn’t do
