I am an adult with Asperger’s and was wondering if anyone else feels as “lost” (I cannot think of a better word as I am very tired) as I do.
I am of the assumption that because I am capable of speech that people think I am able to cope day to day but due to being constantly in the present moment I am unable to organise what others would perceive as simple tasks that fall outside of my “obsessions” and routine eg waking up at the same time every morning and composing music for 14 hours a day. Everything else does not come naturally. I even have to write scripts for any conversation that I do not know.
I do not like leaving my home very often also because outside can be very exhausting for me but other people seem to have a lot of expectations and this makes me feel frustrated as I am unable to communicate my difficulties efficiently.
does anybody else have a similar experience?
Wow, you are composing music 14 hours a day. Such a rare gift and exceptional skill. This is something to celebrate!I relate to your feeling. I am my worst critic and often look at things I should have done, but friends remind me of what I have achieved :). Focus on the positives and your strengths. Talking to autistic people helps that.
