I need hugs. Lots of casual touching and hugs. But then I get overstimulated and all touch starts to hurt, so I need to not touch or be touched at all for a while until smooth surfaces stop feeling like burning sandpaper.

Hear, hear, I friggin' hate performance evaluations. Hate doing my own, hate doing others. What a load of crap, indeed.

The reason time machines will never work is because the constant variable can only be sustained by the eternal core of the constant constant, who is the unconditional (son) love (God) that comes by the subconscious (Father) truth (God)

So, what I’m hearing is everything is on the shoulders of the Neurotypical? What I’m hearing is that Neurodivergent’s have no responsibility. I believe Neurodivergent’s are capable of learning how to have a better relationship with another. They can work on learning and developing those things that they lack. They may still screw up but practice is key. If the Neurodivergent is not willing to work on themselves and expect the Neurotypical to meet them all the way then that’s a whole different problem. I see it as a laziness and an escapism problem of the Neurodivergent. Telling a Cassandra that it’s all her / his fault and that they need to do all the work in a relationship is proving why Cassandra’s exist. I do know that Neurodivergent’s , at least many, do have compassion and empathy. Some don’t, but to those who do, they have the capability of learning some of what they lack because their care for another’s wellbeing is greater and stronger than their disability.

Being 53 with a new diagnosis makes me feel I've been playing the game of life on hard mode without actually realizing it. Makes me feel like I am much tougher and resilient than my peers for making it this far with as much success as I have, but I can't help wondering how much farther I could have gone had I been neuotypical. Survived the Navy. Taught special Ed in secondary level in the ghetto for 10 years before burning out and have has a fairly successful career in project management area...but have always felt i am holding on barely. Friendships and relationships have suffered. For me childhood and adolescence were the worst. Worst day in the Navy ( i was in war and Los body parts) was better than my average day in high school. Thank you for the insight and information.

Thanks for the videos. I can say that a lot of this came to a head wit the Covid restrictions...especially the mask mandates. Went through chemical and biological warfare training in the Navy and do hazardous waste work. I train people on use of respirators and all the mandates made zero sense based on my knowledge set and training. It and other things that made zero sense really turned it up to 11 on a scale of 10. Recent diagnosis really made this and many things make sense to me. 53 now and went through life not knowing...but it makes sense now.

I had pre-assesment in UK for autism. 30 minutes. Through internet. They rejected to diagnose me further because: 1. I communicate. 2. I raised my eyebrows. 3. I am flat on face but that is possibly because I take antidepressants. 4. Few years ago I told my GP that life overall is stressful. Just to say I was in such a stress that I started to cry. They asked me if I was diagnosed ever with learning difficulties, I said no, but they did not ask me if I had any learning difficulties, which I would say yes, as I have difficulty with remembering numbers and names and lists and I had strong difficulty with learning history. They asked if I was ever diagnosed with muscle weakness, which I said no, but if they asked me if I have difficulty with opening cans, bottles and if somebody mentioned ever anything about my musceletoskeletal system, I would say yes. 2 physiotherapist mentioned that I am hyperflex and I always pass opening cans and bottles to someone else because I have not enough energy in my hands. And my spine injury was because I wanted to excercise as normal people do and when I went to chiropractor he said that my muscles are like gel. Well, go figure. How can we be diagnosed when actual specialist are not able to ask questions correctly?

Usually when people ask me how I'm feeling I (thinking that I'm being helpful) start telling them exactly what I did and whether that was a good thing or bad so that they can feel it for themselves. And every time I couldn't properly describe what I'm feeling I'd just say "oh, well... pretty much the same as always, I think I'm just depressed". Watching this video made it make much more sense now. Wow..

Mine is having at least 80% if not all of the same interests, like hobbies, music taste, and love language. I know it sounds unrealistic, but I probably won't feel a connection otherwise 😭

I can relate so much to the social interaction point 😂 most people communicate indirectly, putting sugars and being diplomatic and I don't understand what they mean. It's like the second I hear a sentence, my brain immediately starts branching out here and there considering all the possibilities of meaning that lies in the very sentence, sometimes at the same time I would need the definition of a certain word or two in the sentence first before I get it, and I'm expected to understand in split seconds, because obviously I'm in a real-time conversation. It can be very exhausting. So really, sometimes I'm talking to myself like "can y'all just please tell me verbally, simply and literally?" 😂 Also being misunderstood and taken the wrong way, I get that too sometimes. I don't use sarcasm so what I say are without hidden meaning, but maybe I say things in the wrong voice tone or because of my resting bit** face, maybe because of my dry sense of humour.. the next thing that happens after I say something people would mildly snap and get offended, and I'm left confused 😬 Yesss, what friends? Lol same here, I have met many people and made some friends but over time they came to zero. Well almost. I have this one oversea friend who doesn't give up on me. Sometimes I would not text back for days just because I need breaks from social interaction, even with my own family. When I'm fully recharged and ready, then I text back, he would always respond like nothing happened. Sometimes I feel bad and selfish for having to 'disappear' but he seems to understand me and I really appreciate that he's still around.

I would love an explanation if someone has one for my work life. I was an executive administrative assistant for Christian organizations for 20 years. I did have job issues, usually with ethical issues. At one point, I was handling half a zillion details with great efficiency and on top of everything. That particular environment was pin drop quiet all day. I thrived best there until I shattered my ankle. I never found another environment like that and ended up in a controlling environment in one and a boss who screamed at me at another. I was also increasingly being screamed at, at home. I lost my efficiency, memory for details, memory in general, my brain became scattered, no longer A to Z but all over the place. I dissociate so badly now, I am not sure if that will recover. The abuse at home escalated and support systems disappeared. What happened, and will I ever get my brain back?
