    Saying goodbye

    Yes in retrospect I realize there are so many times that I should have said something and didn’t but going forward I will definitely do that

    Saying goodbye

    Thank you i appreciate that. The hardest part is she thinks she has done nothing wrong and it’s all my fault:( so it doesn’t feel like I’m sticking up for myself but more like I’m just causing a problem

    Saying goodbye

    Today I had to let one of my best friends go. It was really hard for me and it was one of the toughest things I had to do. I feel like a monster of a human being. She left me no choice. I couldn’t handle the constant bullying and judging she would constantly put me down and tell me things like I...

    Friendship

    I’m so sorry:( I have lost many friends due to Aspergers, but I promise you that there are ppl out there that will be your friend, once you find your small tribe you will realize that you should be accepted for you. I have found a small circle of friends that love me for me and I know you will too❤️

    Yes I am from the United States and she didn’t mention it’s not in then DSM so therefore it doesn’t exist

    Thanks for everyone’s opinion. It was very upsetting and stressful and maybe I do need a new psychiatrist. It was like she didn’t believe Aspergers existed

    Yes I plan to. It makes me feel like all my symptoms aren’t real and it’s all in my head. So that’s frustrating. I feel so sad and empty today like someone said, “you’re fine get over it”

    I kind of figured that’s what it was, that she can’t give out medicine for Aspergers so she would rather say here is something I can give you pills for. It was very upsetting

    Why are they like this? My therapist is fully supportive and I do not understand why my psychiatrist is not??? I was so frustrated. Maybe I need a new psychiatrist as well

    so I went to my psychiatrist yesterday and she totally invalidated my Aspergers. She said that PTSD OCD and trauma overlap and it isn’t Aspergers that I have even though I know it is. She said it isn’t even in the diagnostic book anymore and most ppl that have Aspergers just have overlapped...

    To mask or to embrace your autism...

    I would say both. I mask a lot though. It’s like this pressure I feel and if I’m around ppl or my family I’m scared of what will happen if I take it off, but I get moments where the mask slips off and I say something very me or I act very me and I can tell because it gets quiet. I wish I could...

    Newly diagnosed, not out yet

    I can understand that, I just got diagnosed myself and it’s something new and scary but I’m learning that it just means I’m unique and have a different perspective then others. I feel like there is a processing period, where you feel sad and frustrated then you learn that you are beautiful and...

    Do you have problems with chores too or is it just me?

    I seem to have trouble organizing in my brain which chore to do first, I get really overwhelmed by it. Sometimes I literally CANT organize a room because I can’t decide where to start
