What do you do to help the "Aspie inside"?

[Chance]

I think mostly it's the IN part of my INFJ personality

Now it makes more sense how I (we) get along with you so easy... You may not be ASD but INFJ in itself sort of mirrors ASD traits as far as introvert, smart, wanting to be alone, intellect... Plus they (we) think different than most all the other 15 personalities Carl Jung came up with.

I was really hesitant at first because I sort of clash with lots of NT's and never mean to do so... It's just like I am from a different universe or something, and you didn't trigger on stuff with any of us that I know of... And you seem to deeply understand us... However you being a social worker also gives you a huge amount of insight also... : )

Pretty cool... : )

I’m an INFJ too (supposedly the rarest of all).

They should have warned us on how weird we would be though... : )

I don't know what I can do to help the "Aspie" inside. This may sound weird to most of you ?... It's only a month since my diagnosis... As I am starting to understand masking and see my masks, catch glimpses of myself before masks... recognize things I do that I THOUGHT were masked... etc.. I'm wondering who the (bleep) I really am. Even emotions were masked. I know I carry a LOT of stress and fatigue... I've learned over the almost 60 years to just grin and bear it.. I'm tired of carrying the NT stone around. I'm just trying to get back to some level of life where I can find peace. What has really given me hope is finding my community... those who can relate at least on some level.... For once I feel at least I'm headed in the right direction. It's hard finding my true self under all these NT layers I've built up all these years.
