Friendship talk

Hi everyone

I have a friend. Who's great, but I find it very hard. 

When there's certain times things don't get read or acknowledged bye her. 

I get very frustrated with it. 

I've been diagnosed with autism for a year now. 

Anyone else experience this? 

Thanks Lizzy

  • I understand that, I’m autistic aswell I think it is something we may just have to get used to often non-autistics don’t get us and we don’t get them we just don’t communicate or express ways in which we show friendship the same as each other and it can be hard I know maybe she doesn’t know that she isn’t acknowledging you perhaps for her she thinks she is but for you, you need confirmation that she is acknowledging you perhaps you could ask her if she does acknowledge your presence and friendship if she says yes maybe you might have to come to terms with the fact that maybe you can’t tell, maybe ask her if she could verbally acknowledge you more (sorry if none of that makes sense)

  • Hi 

    No what you say makes sense's. 

    I know you understand, what I mean etc. Yes I guess it most definitely is. 

    I may have to ask her, like you say and see what happens answer wise. 

    I can honestly say I would not get on with this person if she was normal. I can't do normal people they piss me off to much. But I know what you mean on the express side of communication. 

    This is highly appreciated and thank you, so much.
