I would really like to speak with one.
Not to be super bleak but many of the people I identified with in my life, the kind of people you'd say, 'we're alike' even if you weren't that close, are now dead. I have to ask why that is. One of only two other women with autism who I knew died recently of an overdose (The other does not seem to like me much and we no longer talk).
The feeling that 'we' are not made for this world, and how are we meant to get along in it, are very common and the evidence as I have witnessed and lived it thus far suggests probably true. Is any woman with autism here living a life they are happy with? Is anyone here 'okay'? I would really like to have an honest conversation with another woman whose life doesn't suck - and how that came about. NOT performatively - no bullshit designed to make me feel better in the short term regardless of reality. If you are an adult woman with autism and your life genuinely doesn't suck, can we chat?
Thanks peeps
