#asperger problems

[neurodivergent-experience]

Hello everyone! I hope you’re doing ok! I’ve been so inactive because I’ve just been dealing with some other stuff, please forgive me! I actually was diagnosed with autism back in May. Took many many years and a lot of fighting to figure out why the problem was, but we did it! But here’s another question for you guys! All answers are welcome :-)

Are people usually accepting of your diagnoses? (IE: dyspraxia, SPD, autism, aspergers, apraxia, auditory processing....) And if not, how come?

Reed and slang is understanding how they work within context of certain statements after hearing them enough but never understanding WHY they mean whatever they mean because he doesn’t feel bothered to ask half the time because Johnny will make fun of him. Slang and him just don’t mesh well because he’s so literal minded.

I have no idea how people manage being in a romantic relationship with another person.

I get really embarrassed when I find out one of my stims is a trend and then feel bad for using the stim toy because it’s a trend

I hate slang and I hate how I’m expected to re learn it every few years. Who decides what words we’re going to use? It’s the dumbest thing. Who ever decided salty should enter the popular vernacular should be smacked. We already had a word for that and it was bitter.

I think the thing I hate the most about having aspergers is how it takes 2 full time salaries to buy a house yet I’d be perfectly happy to live alone. I just want a small house where I can do little crafts and have a few cats. Having a relationship takes work. Emotional work. And I just don’t see that as worth it. Whenever I go to craft classes it’s women complaining how much they hate their husbands. Of course I have to have a roommate since everything is so expensive. Not to mention my student loans. My mom got a house at 21 working at a grocery store. I just want my own place and not to have to depend on any one. People who are able to get along/ understand others have it so much easier. They can just pick a mate and their income doubles.

Shout out to my old teachers who use to play music when we were studying  because they read they it helps memorization only for my asperger brain to no longer be able to concentrate.
