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?

Respect in advance Pray

  • I thought that things like friendships and social interactions were going by a set code that other people knew that I'd somehow missed being told. When I was little I spent just over a year minimising my interaction with my peers and just observing how they were interacting and in particular how people flowed in and out of the different 'friendship groups'. I then tried to use these observed patterns but I was very blunt about it. 

    This led to a conversation where I asked two girls in my year that as their third 'best friend' had left the school and that the rules (my observed patterns) said that they would then find a new third, could I be the new third best friend.

    They looked at me like I was crazy and told me that wasn't how it worked.

    I was not made the third best friend. 

    I'm just generally not great at understanding a lot of stuff which is some how being passed on in a way that seems to me to be telepathic.
