Hard to explain

Jon

I am not sure if this post will make sense to anyone but hopefuly someone will be able to relate to what i am trying to say?

I sometimes feel really confused - about what I am not so sure. Its just a feeling that I am not understanding myself and am therefore unable to explain this to anyone, It leaves me frustrated. Not being able to explain is the problem - hence this post maybe seeming a bit vague.

Does anyone else with AS experience something similar?

  • Oh, this is an interesting old thread. I suppose I've learned to put a label of 'alexithymia' (not knowing what you're feeling) to some of this.  But yes, I've often thought of this as a meta-problem. One of my problems is not being able to explain what the problem is.  How can anyone help when they don't know what''s wrong or what you want to do?

    I wonder if a way to overcome it is look through the lists of human needs from things like 'Human Givens' or 'Non-Violent Communication' as a kind of prompt. That's assuming our needs are the same as others'.
