Specific examples

JT

There are lots of great threads on here about struggles we all have. But I wondered if anyone would be willing to give specific examples of things they feel they got 'wrong', full disclosure, that reflect perfectly the traits you endure day to day that juxtapose with a NT world?

I feel we protect ourselves a lot, and perhaps exhibit a shared form of 'forum masking' in some ways...

...for those undiagnosed, this could be the differential they need?

  • Personally I wouldn't say there's anything wrong and I don't view them as traits, I simply view them as difficulties knowing that nonautistic people have difficulties as well.

    So it's not our as they say traits that makes something wrong, it's the society's unacceptance of differences in people and fear of what they don't understand. 

    Things like social matters, I wouldn't say it's because of autism, I believe it's because the majority of people won't learn to understand autistc people.

    So basically it's actually the society that creates the difficulties/traits.
