    Is my boyfriend in the wrong for ending our relationship because we don’t mentally connect?

    My boyfriend wants to end our relationship and take a break because we don't "mentally connect" and he says I talk at an elementary school level and he told me he wants to find someone who talks more at his level.

    Exhaustion

    Life goes so fast yet it’s so Tiring. Especially for autistic people. I feel like life is going past me. While there are still a lot of things I need to do and haven’t done or want to do. Also, I feel like I can never relax even for a second. It’s always something I need to do or something I...

    Sound Sensitivities

    Anyone else have like a specific sound that makes them physically react? For me it's the rubbing of plastic water bottles against eachother and the squishing/crunching of Styrofoam. It sends like sharp tingles all around my body and I physically recoil at it. Unfortunately it makes me really...

    Selective mutism: help please

    I have selective mutism. I just cannot hold conversations properly, talk to people properly, or talk in general. Sometimes it doesn't bother me, and I'm okay with being by myself; but I feel a little guilty that I'm being rude. I wouldn't announce my arrival, I would decline food offered to...

    what are interesting ways to display your interests?

    If you couldn't tell, I love touhou a lot. Yet, my room is barren of anything related to it. I could just have shelves of figures, posters on the wall, but honestly: it's UNORIGINAL! I love theming stuff and compartmentalizing my room. So on that topic, how would *you* do it if you had an...

    Anyone else relate to 'Thing' by Steampianist?

    Heres the original song: Thing - Steampianist (A long but personal analysis) What really resonates with me is the sort of desire for subconscious-instinctual human reactions. In the chorus, " I want hair like yours I want hands like yours I want fingers that curl in the cold like yours I want...

    Struggles with emotional people

    I've always noticed that I have this weird disconnect of empathy. When someone is distressed I feel obligation. I pride myself on how effective I am at comforting yet I don't necessarily care. I remember telling my friend (who's in an emotional state) "It pains me to see you so emotional when...

    How can I deal with being bullied because of my disability?

    A while back there was a group on Facebook talking about me saying he would never date me because of my disability even if he’s paid to and one guy said he finally figured out I had a disability when I wanted to meet up to hook up and he said something doesn’t seem right about me and seemed...

    Starting my autistic story and trauma part one

    Hi, hopefully this is the last time I start from the beginning in the story.
