So today I went for breakfast with the pastor of my church and he asked me about my autism. Its ok, I was happy for him to ask and had been very open in talking to him about it in the past as he is someone I get on well with
However, it got me thinking, what do you actually say when someone asks you about your autism and how it affects you,both good and bad? In my head it is so clear how being autistic feels and all the good and bad things about it but when someone asks me to explain it my mind just goes blank and I get all tounge tied and I feel like what I say out loud doesnt sound like half of what is going on in my mind
It was similar when me and my Dad first started talking about autism.
I always feel like its impossible to describe to someone who isnt autistic, like the only way to understand it would be to spend a few hours in my head
Does anyone else feel like this when they are asked about it?
