Have you ever met someone who's autistic and doesn't know?

[Anonymous]

Years ago, my brother told me I was autistic. I didn’t know what it meant, so I blew it off as another smart ass thing that he said to be crass. We don't have a good relationship, so I refuse to ask him about. Knowing him, he'd laugh it off as a joke, but my brother has a habit of masking truth as a joke.

I think the tell tell for me is my delay with social cues. When ruminating, I can identify social deficits from past situations and I believe I make slight improvements over time.

I've learned to enjoy solitude. Only... I do occasionally crave connections. It doesn’t hurt, at least not initially to see people in relationships or to see someone have a decent amount of friends and family. A few times a year, I acknowledge that it would be nice to have those bonds.

I'm guilty of pushing people away. I'm a highly sensitive person and my feelings are easily hurt. I feel like there's something about me that rubs people the wrong way.

Maybe I'm too sensitive, but I feel like people go out of their way to tell me I'm unattractive. I recall a former acquaintance said " If a guy saw you from the back, he'd be disappointed when you turned around." During the pandemic if I had to remove my mask, kids would say "You look different from what I expected." Or they would seem startled by my appearance. " A guy that kept asking me out told me I was a 5, and another guy I dated on and off, mentioned that he usually dates better looking women.

I tried online dating and guys always said my pictures looked better.

They would talk about my appearance, my weight, my lisp, and say rude things to me which turned made me into a hateful person.

I wonder if I could be autistic and maybe this is why I don't recognize I'm unattractive. Maybe the autism is limiting my able to comprehend why people don't don't like me or go out of there way to be rude.

Maybe maybe maybe... let's look at it in a positive light... so let's just say you are autistic. To me i look at you as a genius in your own way

I also look at you as being able to communicate telepathically.

Your an more an introvert. So am I and I love my space and the time that I give myself to be in it.

Im also an empath and I see and feel things deeper than most..

And yes there are those moments I crave everything lol. That intimacy or bond or even a relation ship..

But what im trying to say is that you are you ,, no matter the title. Your brother, or even a doctor gives you. Or the title you give yourself..

And know matter the title you give your self. It doesn't change anything.

As we get older everyday we hope we become wiser. Smarter. And we hrow everyday. And we try to become the best we can be. So now. You can do 1 of 2 things. You can either
allow yourself to fall in to the trap of

im not good enough or you can stand up straight and keep living life. The way you want to live it. It's your choice and only your choice.

When we are born we are all given a gift. That gift is choice...
We get to choose who we want to be in life by the things we do and say
All of us get that gift.

So it doesn't matter the title. It's still your choice to live the best life you can
And experience life how every you want to experience it.

And let me tell you if you are an empath that majevyou feel weird to until you understand it.
And once you understand it hold on tight because that will change your life to. But for the best.

And as for your looks I forget how you worded it but stop

And let me tell you why as human being we are more that that and I can prove it to you we are all special people

We are made in God's image even tho we have our parents genes we are still made from God he lives inside your temple your church if your point to your temple on your head where is that your pointing to your brain

Now if we are god like that means we are spiritual beings we are made from energy
And if you understand energy and you see and feel things deeper than most. God wants us all to be creators like him

Energy is transparent its a vibe it is a frequency the higher our frequency, the better way to come.

When you have low frequency, that's when you put yourself down. That's when you're barely dragging yourself through the mud

When you have high frequency, you are in a zone. You are happy you are dancing. You are enjoying life

What we tell ourselves comes true. What we believe comes true whether it's positive or negative, it's your choice.

So when you talk about yourself the way that low frequency stop that's not who you meant to be.

Love your self love other do for other if you see they need a hand pick them up that is all our destiny is in life

Have faith no matter what become one with self become one with others. That means help people become like you and become one with this universe. That is our God, that is our energy. That's the highest frequency you can deal.

If you're negative if you're a hater if you're a hater if you talk crap about people that's drama and that holds you back low frequency

So no matter the title you have.
Or somebody gives you that's only a chothere's a bigger choice
And that is to become the best you can become

Sorry about the spelling I never proofread. Im always in a hurry, err. lol, but I think you will get through it, ok? If not, dm me, and I can explain what I meant

I'm reasonably confident that I can identify other Aut-kin within moments of meeting them. In some cases I've known someone was a fellow Autist just from walking past them in the street. Just about all of us have identifiable physical tics that stand out if you know what to look for.
As to whether THEY know or not... I don't tend to ask. At least not since the time I accidentally outed someone I was at University with because I didn't realise they were trying to hide it.

You might simply need to work on smiling.

Having worked with people on the spectrum among other disabilities it's this simple thing that can change a life. Presentation is key with neurotypicals (or non autistic people)

Talk to a doctor and get a diagnosis.
Visit the site wrongplanet. net and ask some questions.

Yes I once overheard this person who used to pick on me at school tell the assistant teacher they gave ADHD. It doesn’t always go together but a lot of the time people with ADHD also have Autism. I’m not a doctor but I suspect this person had autism as well.

If they don't know it themselves how can I know? I can't diagnose them with Autism just based on what I think...

[Sal_Monella]

I was (self diagnosed) Asperger's long ago before it had a name. Back then, I wondered WTF is wrong with me?

[Anonymous]

I'm certain it's happened. The umbrella for that term has only grown.
