I have always been slow processing social communication and I know that I probably missed a lot. Now, with Steve Lacy's Bad Habit, I see recognition of this. No one of us is alone.

Me too, regarding over processing and over reacting to things.I over process and over react which pisses me off. Like l need to get better. I have made some improvements thanks to this forum. Today l was fed up with someone hounding me for pictures. I kinda let a verbal bomb off. Then l got over it. I wasn't too out of line, so there is improvement however l food appeased myself which probably isn't great, but l feel better.
Then there was a creepy guy outside of gym which freaked me out, like he obviously doesn't workout. What are you doing here? People don't understand that older ladies are stressed out by strange men? If l don't know you, l assume the worst, that you are Ted Bundy's uncle and you are just as twisted. Older ladies are raped in Florida sadly. I don't care what you drive, or what you look like, l do have people phobia, maybe from Autism or too many true crime shows.
So I am slow to process emotions l guess. Do you think? Lol
I want to savor the positive in my life so I can parent that hurt inner youth. I want to tell him that everything will work out, not immediately, but in a way that will see him loved and accepted.Yes me too but it does take looking back through the lens of an understanding of autism to see why/how that affected social interactions earlier in my life. It's good to know. Some such times were puzzling and uncomfortable, not knowing what I didn't know. As it were. I want to go back in a time machine and explain to myself, and befriend myself. Not to mention save myself some money on therapy....

Thank you grommet.I am glad you think to be careful. I am a man and I always try to keep my distance from women, not get too close or accidentally touch them. I also do not make eye contact with them or if I am behind them when they are walking I try to go fast enough to get ahead of them so they can see me. I never go anywhere near a woman at night. If I am in a room with a woman I try to make sure she is closest to the door and that I am never between her and an exit.
I hope you are alway safe.
