First time posting here so I hope I'm doing it right.
I've noticed a lot recently when my Mum talks to others about me or my brother having Autism people will often say things like "Oh they have something wrong with them" or "If only we could give them normal brains" and I'm standing there feeling like absolute crap cause then I think "Well I'm obviously useless so what's even the point of being Autistic and being alive. Then there's the sympathetic sad looks from people and the" Oh I'm so sorry for you" comments. It just really gets me down sometimes. I'm very proud of my Autism as it makes me who I am but when I hear the comments it's like a punch in the gut.
Actually I've just remembered. All my life people have said to me 'you're weird', 'you're strange', 'you are a funny girl' (as in funny-peculiar) etc. At every stage of my life. I've never known why.
So it's similar to 'I wish you were normal', just the other side of it.
It used to bother me but I've been alone at home for so many years now that I don't meet anyone who says that anymore.
Same here!
I think being weird is a good thing, it makes you unique.
Probably, but it certainly gets annoying to be told it over and over again. I don't care anymore though, haha!
its no problem,, music is personal and i have changed my mind about some musicals after listening to their stuff long enough
Thanks, because most people mock and laugh and insist that I must like some type of music. It's impossible that I dislike music because 'everyone likes music, right?' Like alcohol. I do not like alcohol and won't be pressurised into drinking.
I am just me
Fair enough - each to their own!
Not really, no. I can listen for a few minutes but that's enough. I prefer total silence/ birdsong/ waves on the shore.
Really? Is there any music you enjoy?
tbh I rarely listen to music, I don't really like it, so I can't judge it.
Yeah I find her reinventions interesting, but her music is a bit meh
I like Madonna because she is always reinventing herself like I am. But never really seen the appeal of Elvis.
Personally I think both Elvis and Madonna are overrated lol
even Elvis ? Madonna ?
