Were you ever told you that you were exaggerating when you were discussing your problems?

Not sure if anyone has experienced this, but personally I’ve been accused of exaggerating or overreacting to a problem that seems justified in my view. I think people don’t pay attention to the whole story and make assumptions about a certain background as if it is normal. Unfortunately they cannot speak for all of us as one’s experience may completely differ from another’s.

I ain’t got much else to say, so I’ll just leave it here.

  • Yes and it still happens to me.

    Everyone completely dismisses all of my problems. If I get pains or feel unwell I'm told it's in my head. My worries are silly. No one listens.

  • I am sorry .
    I understand you very well.
     
    Nobody wants to listen is a pertinent sentence.
     
    I will also explain why this may be later.
     
    The point is that your (but also mine) communication becomes unsustainable.
     
    We fail to do this.
     
    If you were my brother I would listen to you man.
     
    We (including you) because hardly an Autistic wants to complain.
     
    He wants to describe. Isn't he understood? He specifies.
     
    But the point is that to understand you need to * listen to people.
     
    Two things:
    1) we have communication deficits unless we have to pass exams and they listen to them and we are very well prepared
     
    In social interactions we do not listen to each other.
    I have always surrounded myself with very intelligent people.
     
    I have always said things in an explanatory manner first, and then in detail.
    2) They don't listen to the preparatory logical bases of our speeches.
     
    We place them to fill the deficits.
     
    We think it's enough.
    Instead they didn't even listen to them.
     
    For an autistic this is detrimental.
     
    Because he finds himself having to re-explain the logical basis of his thinking, but also not being able to be heard.
     
    Or traced to be exaggerated, petulant, or to repeat the same things.
     
    You know in October 2019 I was feeling terrible, I had what would later nomenclatively become covid Sars (yes: there was a lot before December 2019, many months before).
     
    I explain that he is a very particular sick person.
     
    But I'm not heard.
     
    I risked bilateral pneumonia.
     
    I took 8 months of time (with relapse) to recover.
     
    I came close to death.
     
    (in fact it was).

    In the December 2019 relapse I no longer said I was sick.
     
    Why would I have complained.
     
    At this point, I no longer complained about anything.
     
    Except that one night the fever shot up to very intense levels and then their judgment radically changed.
     
    They told me to go to the hospital.
     
    Too bad I couldn't even stand up.
     
    Sorry example about me.

    From a scientific point of view you don't listen to others because the brain has to work and completely restructure its constructs, a huge job.
     
    Here: we always do that huge job.
     
    I listen if a loved one tells me things, I'm not Hawking, but the mind works quite well.
     
    Theirs too, but they refuse this indispensable step.
     
    I'm sorry because I wrote so much and not even if I expressed myself legibly enough.
     
    Yes: I understand what you mean, but perhaps all of us here understand it.
