    Being gaslit about being autistic or not

    Update: So, turns out I actually DO have an official diagnosis and it was due to our family therapist and not my parents I didn’t know. Definitely something that has impacted my view of these years.

    Being gaslit about being autistic or not

    My parents consistently are vague and I don’t know how to access the information as it’s not in my health provider info etc. I had an overall evaluation of myself before I was aware of anything and the results came down to it being traits but was also conflicting as he said I have twice...

    Being gaslit about being autistic or not

    I’m a dependent adult (young) that lives with their parents who refuse to admit I have autism and argue/gaslight every time I try to express so. They think my evaluation said I only had “traits.” I’m sick and tired of them thinking their (frankly terrible) understanding of me defines if I am...

    Hypofeeling?

    First, thank you all for your responses. It is not only validating but informative into my own and other’s similar experiences. I do feel like I resonate on some level with both things you described.

    Germ OCD-like symptoms. Persistent

    That’s completely valid and I appreciate your response/ sharing your experience. I definitely have tried masking but along with my social masking it can take a toll. My anxiety is high. I’ve found it to be almost like suppressing a huge need to stim but in a negative way. Like, if I don’t do it...

    Hypofeeling?

    I struggle to pinpoint how I feel to someone if not in the moment. If I explain my past I don’t feel connected to it. It’s like foreign and I try to downplay it because I don’t like people judging it accurately despite me not focusing on it now. I just don’t like explaining traumas that led to...

    Germ OCD-like symptoms. Persistent

    TW: compulsions, germs I wash my hands excessively and when I hear someone coughing I HAVE to put on a mask. I keep hand sanitizer with me in case too. I don’t feel comfortable doing chores without gloves (taking out trash or doing dishes). Much of that due to sensory issues and trash I have...

    Going to an intensive outpatient program

    Make sure to know rules/expectations so you aren’t surprised about leaving behind electronics etc. or otherwise. Also, I’m not sure of the situation for you but I recommend bringing your own lunch if possible. Doing that program was incredibly meaningful and helpful to me even if not immediately...

    Art that feels right

    Of course! Art in any creative medium can express and have meaning to the artist and other’s far beyond solely visuals. One thing I appreciate is the connection it brings via allowing people to connect to a piece despite their own subjective perception of it and experiene in life. A piece can be...
