Criticism

Hope

I can't take criticism, particularly from my peers and particularly with things I feel that I should be good at. I get angry and upset, although I try and hide this  due to my desire to act 'neurotypical'.  Several people with AS, who I know, are very judgemental and pedantic, criticising freely. I am also very pedantic, but I try hard to be tactful when in public and try  not to pass criticism. Ironically, despite my AS, I am very self-aware. I have been criticised by  a person with AS, and afterwards I obsessed over it and felt very angry and upset. Proof that people with AS can end up annoying each other!. What do you think? Can you take criticism?

  • I only joined this group a couple of weeks ago so I’m answering this 9 years late. I hate criticism. My blood pressure rises, I get angry and I want to go and hide in a cupboard. Mainly hide in a cupboard. I’m so perfectionist that if I don’t do something right and even worse if somebody notices, I can lose my sense of worth and go into a meltdown.
