    OCD & relationships & uncertainty intolerance & neediness & cold approach

    I'm no specialists but with regards to cbt it's not a good path for autistic folks. Those who advocate for us even see it as abusive which I agree. No one can ask of us to behave by normative standards without sacrificing who we are. I don't think anyone can even guarantee anything in life...

    Oh gee. That sounds a lot like my experience losing who I thought was my best friend for years. She was o ly a friend because I always cheered on her and there for here. But she was always late to meet me and sometimes showed lack of respect so one day, after she stood me up when I was super...

    My thinking is that many people project guilt when all we do is say the truth. But they expect everyone to lie and just be nice. Even though that's fake. Maybe you're not bad but they can't stand the truth? I remember that my father (narcissist) always said "you're evil" or "you're ungrateful "...

    Comment by 'gigi1919' in 'Listened to my Brain (Trigger Warning)'

    I think that there are times when the phrases like this only mess with people's minds. It's OK to get angry. Especially if someone provokes or is mean. We already have a lot of overload. I used to try to be so good. But then I got very sick and I realised that I was blocking all anger. Anger is...

    I know you're in pain. I don't know anything about schizophrenia. But I believe in human strength and innate wisdom. I wish you find your way

    I Need More Heroic Traits

    I also was thinking about this helping bit because I also had that for a large part of my life. And lately I arrived on some ideas that could be considered woo but I actually arrived them by logic and various research. So here it is: Neurotypical people are really focused on the masculine...

    New to the ASD Discussion

    Yes, I sometimes feel the same. The diagnosis to not feel like pretending. I guess I've grown tons of self validation over last years which kind of helps me settle on self diagnosis. After all, I'm not claiming to be autistic to get anything. I guess for me, there are also many proofs that...

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    Haha.. yes me too. Just wrote about 100 pages analysing pattern of speech developed by NTs that links back to drive for colonisation and power struggle to secure resources... and dissected their "cues" that we're supposedly missing as a string of lies and half truts with explicit effect to...

    Autism and Anxiety/PTSD.

    PTSD is different form CTPSD - - COMPLEX TRAUMA that many autistic people have simply bc living in this upside down world as a sensitive person. I had both complex trauma, diagnosed and treated with EMDR and various body based techniques like TRE. At the same time I was diagnosed with PTSD that...

    Any one else here obsessed with physics?

    I am very interested in developing some cosmology through personal science of direct experience. Mostly because I've had some learning disability.and because I've been obsessed by the topic of energetics and ecosystems. But as I'm writing a book I caught myself talking about fractals, patterns...

    Welcome! I'm new here and also just self diagnosed. I would like an official diagnosis for simplicity of some things and it will depend if you will be eligible for any support if you got the diagnosis. Maybe some members here are from your area and can advise if that's the case but as far as I...

    I Need More Heroic Traits

    I don't understand why you se yourself as a villan. But I know that people see neurodivergent and autsist as villans ans many internalise this. Not sure if that's what's happening- that someone I ejected the ideas if badness in me. I know, as brought up in Catholicism that part of the whole...

    Self Deprecating Humor

    I used to, it was as far as I reflected part of fawning response to appear easy going for others - helping them feel good about themselves. Very codependent mechanism to appease, and in my opinion typical for those of us on the bottom of social food chain. Usually yes it's about diffusing...

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    You're absolutely right with the medical community aggravating problems. The more the aggregate the more money they can get. Last night going to sleep I realised that a part of me is so raw because after reading stuff about autism the articles sound sooooo horrible. Like they don't refer to...
