    Autism and the emotion of love

    It didn't go bad by any means, but I don't know if it was good? Honestly, it didn't go how I expected in any scenario I had played in my head, and I think that kind of threw me. My friend seemed to think it was good that I shared the information and seemed happy, and was incredibly affectionate...

    Autism and the emotion of love

    I haven’t been on this site for while and came back to find information about this specific topic, love. I recently (two weeks ago) realized I might be experiencing “real love” for the first time in my life. Not familial love or platonic love, both of which I have experienced and understand (for...

    Thank you so much! I wish I did either more. It gets hard to find motivation when I'm overwhelmed, but I'm trying.

    Comment by 'Kristin' in 'That old familiar feeling...'

    Thank you for replying. I definitely use music and art as an outlet (see my previous blog post for examples). I just hate when I get to this point of anxiousness and depression because nothing feels right? If that makes any sense. I'm not even entirely sure it's depression... yet. I know I feel...

    That old familiar feeling...

    No matter what I do, no matter what I try, I feel so alone. I hate it. I want to not hate it. I want to be, "strong and independent," and I want people to see me that way. Unfortunately, I feel like a weirdo/alien/robot, watching people around me have normal lives, normal relationships, and...

    I don’t have an art page, but I’ll post a painting I did of my friend a while back shortly, and this is a link to my YouTube page which has some old videos… https://youtube.com/user/kristinnoelsings

    I guess I do a bit of everything, but painting and writing/playing music are the two things I do the most.

    I feel inadequate… and it makes me mad.

    I am so, so tired of feeling inadequate, or like I don’t belong anywhere. It used to make me sad, but now it just makes me angry. I hate going through all motions, thinking I’ve found someone who “gets me” … only to be proven very wrong in the end. I will elaborate more at a later time when I...

    Kristin is Awkward

    I’m autistic. I have anxiety issues and ADHD. I make art and music. I’m a mother. I’m recently single… and I’m trying to figure out what I want and what I need for the first time in my life. Really, I’m just looking for someone who understands me… but who isn’t?

    Hello.

    I've been a member of this site for some time, but have been too nervous to post anything. That said, I have finally gathered enough courage to make an attempt at an introduction, so here it goes! My name is Kristin. I'm 33. I self-diagnosed about two years ago, but was officially diagnosed as...
