Are you fed up with autism. Or not?

Post Reply New Topic

Fed up with autism? Nope. I am not the problem. The problem is a society that is too focused on catering to the wishes of the NTs while not supporting alternating neurological statuses enough. The only thing about me I am fed up with is the social anxiety disorder as I tend to panic when too many people are around.

Btw, I really doubt UNWORTHY to be serious. I might not know for sure as in my report it was stated that I have a severe lack of empathy and quite the low EQ (emotional quotient). So if you are really that depressed, seek help, because describing how you are preparing for your own suicide is going to get you a fast pass to a mental institution for the long term.

I would like to do some volunteer work again. I have in the past and I really enjoyed it.

I also hope to do part-time work again someday -- even if it's just something small like working one day a week, or some type of self-employment involving odd jobs or making things to sell to others. For now, though, I have enough trouble just looking after myself properly.



That's awful that people yelled at you and said you were stupid. I understand about needing extra time to process things.



I don't have meltdowns very often anymore, but they are awful when they happen. Shutdowns can be really awful, too, though, just in a different way.



I'm like that after I go out to overwhelming places, too. For me, the worst is shopping and I described the state of shutdown afterwards as being "malled" (shopping malls are especially bad .... my brain is mauled by the mall --> malled).

I find myself in a constant battle to accept my autism, but then again I was only diagnosed 7 months ago. I am fed up with it a lot but then sometimes I'm not. I am between both and I don't know what I really think in honesty.
