Just wanted to share something positive, my wife or anyone else has ever seen me go fully into my world. We met friends last night, it was okay but left me agitated. I was so encouraged by watching Flo on the Chris Packham program this week, anyway for the first time last night I fully ‘wolfed out.’ It was just me and my wife alone. Obviously we are all different, I tend to hug my head , open and close my hands next to my ears and rock back and forth. I can’t plan this but I knew it was coming.
My wife just let me get on with it and asked me nothing, when I came out of it, she just smiled and cried. It just felt so life affirming. After 50+ years of masking so heavily, I’m finally starting to be my brilliant autistic me. It’s like I can finally breathe. Sorry for blurting this all out, you are the only people I can share things like this with.
