    Coffee. I want to talk about coffee.

    I am drinking coffee only from last 3-4 years. Before that I used to drink both coffee and tea. But, slowly, I had to completely stop drinking tea, because it was affecting my teeth, even if I drink it once a week. And, I drink coffee without sugar. I like it that way.

    Do you feel the presence of God in your life?

    I am not inclined towards feeling God's power and presence, in my daily life. I do not pray. But I need to be mindful about what I think, act, speak - always. Because in my experience, it is my mindfulness that helps me. In a day, there are times when I am mindful, and times when I am...

    I am Venkat from India, a self-diagnosed Autistic

    with both my parents, I have to accept them as they are. Otherwise, they shout, get upset, emotionally drain me. But they never ever accepted me for what I am. Expecting - a correction OR a response OR accountability - for their behaviors towards me - is a wasted effort. With these kind of...

    I am Venkat from India, a self-diagnosed Autistic

    Not just childhood, every moment of my life with my parents is tough and cold. Despite being the lesser privileged one, I had to think for them. They are emotionally immature, insensitive, indifferent. No support. It has always and still puzzles and suprises me - why are they even there in my...

    Autism awareness is very low in my country also. But I don't think that is the cause for my parents' lack of attention towards me. I can come to terms with the fact that they don't know about Autism, and so could not support Or empathize with the Autistic side of me. But they can at least make a...

    The worst sadistic cruelty that a parent can do to his Asperger son -- is to keep him in the dark about his disability, and induce him to pretend that he is normal. This is True in my case, which I realized very late in my life. My parents never even bothered to build a rapport with me. So, the...

    Has anyone else here been involved in a toxic relationship, short term or long term?

    I am involved in long-term toxic relationships, with my parents. I completely agree with you: "Not describing my experiences until I feel comfortable to share", because I too do this. I see it safer for me - to not sharing my concerns with the other person, if I am not sure that the weight of...

    I am Venkat from India, a self-diagnosed Autistic

    It is only a superficial relationship with my parents. Because of this, I am forced to hide my true feelings to them, and only respond superficially, always forced to mask my reality. This is the core issue of my life. As per my understanding: "Having a perception of a person outside my family...

    I am Venkat from India, a self-diagnosed Autistic

    Hi Shevek, I agree with you - self-knowledge is better than a diagnosis. Because I have experienced it. 3 years back, even after realizing that I was having many Autistic traits, I was in so deep a clutter internally, that I could not figure out the total big picture of inner me. So, in the...
