Hello everyone I’ve always had some difficulties with understanding some of my emotions I know when it’s super obvious like if I’m laughing my head off about something but I keep thinking about my autism assessment I was asked several times what I was feeling or how I felt about something and I couldn’t really answer properly does anyone else suffer with this sort of thing is it to do with my autism?
Yeah that's a tricky one for me too. I don't know what sorrow, jealousy, blame or melancholy feel like. It doesn't make us any less of a human being. Yes it's definitely to do with autism, we have strengths in other areas
Most emotions I thought I had but didn't process, but those 4 don't happen to me. I thought I wasn't a jealous type of person, I hadn't clicked I might have a whole series of emotions I don't experience.
Yeah I agree, if I really focus then I can feel this other emotions but they are so overwhelming. I think being driven is my best trait, this way I don't really have time for emotions, I'm too busy I don't have time to worry about it.
