Hello!

Hello everyone! My name is Natalie, and I am a girl with Asperger's Syndrome. I'm going to make guides for other AspieGirls here, and various other things. See you!

the hot weather

i just can't deal with the hot weather. it's 23°C and i'm feeling sick, sweating a lot (i live in a tropical country, 23° is like nothing). and then, i've discovered that it's probably related to autism. damn!

autism x aromanticity

hello, autistic and aromantic person, i have some genuine questions for you.

how do you know the difference?

how do i know if the discomfort i'm feeling is something related to autism or something related to the fact that i don't want/feel the need to be in a relationship?

or, whatever? it doesn't matter if it's autism or aromanticity, the important thing is that you don't want a relationship.

i'm asking because i was very afraid to say that i'm an aromantic person, since it could be something about me being autistic. but genuinely, i don't know what are the differences and if i can consider myself aromantic in any way.

masking

i'm a woman and i'm 26 years old (almost 27). i was diagnosed with autism a few days ago. looking back over things, i find interesting how i spent a lot of my life worrying about doing anything that would make people think i was a "weirdo". "i can't do this, or they'll think i'm a freak", "i can't do that, or they'll think i'm a weirdo". Well, maybe i spent so much time thinking like that because there really was something i needed to hide, something atypical that would reveal me.

It's funny how it makes a lot of sense now. that i couldn't do a lot of things for fear of them finding out about me.

i really was hiding something, that i didn't even know i was hiding.

autism x work

so, do you guys recommend saying that i have autism in my work place?

I really do feel like existence is not for me. I can’t live in this world. I don’t fit in. I can’t live in this anxiety and depression forever. I want to escape this.

I just wish my brain was different. Asperger’s in adulthood is fucking unbearable. Combined w bpd and adhd I feel like I’m living a constant nightmare. Meds don’t seem to be that much of a help either. Feeling hopeless and I honestly don’t know if want to do anything with my life. Just the thought of living like this and learning how to seems so pointless.

that autism feel when your regular stimming doesn't feel right anymore.
