| For a sparky like yourself Phone calls, not emails. Call people back quickly when needed, call people before going to their place to make a time, and turn up on time, if you are running late, call or text to tell them. Always dress clean and professional Be nice and friendly Never touch anyone's stu... |

| Aside from people serving at the shop or the odd hi to a neighbor it would be few years so far for me not having any personal interaction or physical contact or even a phone call. I actually don't talk to anyone I don't have to. Close to 10 years since any interaction with a loved one. However I do ... |

We are here to experience the life we have and that is that, good or bad. I had a rotten day, but in the midst of the rottenness, there were little ... |

| Perhaps it is, as we are generally very sensitive people, prone to being victimised easily. Also, what can be traumatic for us may not seem that big of a deal to normal people. again, probably because we can be just so sensitive. I myself feel the same, but around men, also due to trauma. It's just ... |

| Some days I feel like I have two left feet and two left hands. I easily drop things or bump into things. I feel completely awkward and stupid. My sensory issues and executive dysfunction tends to be up at these times also. I'm yet to find the reason behind it. Perhaps it has to do with dysregulation... |

| No it isn't. I don't believe that NT's treat Autistics this way. More than likely it is just part of the human condition called ego. Bullies and narcissists all have huge egos and prey on easy to victimise people, it just so happens that Autistics are especially vulnerable to these types of unconsci... |

It took me many years to figure it out, turns out I created all my own problems, it had nothing to do with anyone else and I had to take responsibility for my own life instead of blaming the world, ot... |

| I remember when I was about 8 or so, it was my dads birthday. He liked music (we had records back then, this was the early 80's). I saw an album cover in the record store which I really liked. It was really colourful and pretty. I really wanted to get it for him, so I did. I had no idea what music ... |

Sounds like the power of hyperfocus.
You are becoming more mindful and wise, and that is a wonderful thing.
Good for you for seeing the world differently than the mainstream. |

So for example in your situation, rather than panicking because you think that you won't receive the ass... |

It's like my mind is trying to make sense of all it had coming at it. I would like a metaphorical faucet to plunge into my head and turn on, just ... |
