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?
Hi there,
Good afternoon,
Hi, how are you?
Hope you are well.
Thanks for your post.
Greatly appreciated.
There has been times, I have felt like this.
Or made to feel 'a type of way'.
Due to the complexity of how my autism affects me.
Every day is a learning progress for me.
There is some parts that are 'hidden'.
Not always clear or visible to display.
For me, I am use to open closed questions.
Yes or no.
So when, I speak to someone further down the line.
It is a different matter altogether.
Because, from others perspective.
The person is able to do' certain' things.
In turn, they do not see the severity of what goes on behind close doors.
