Hi there,
I am 31, I have a demanding job, a 7 y o son, a husband. I am not diagnosed with autism but at this point I feel there is not one person I ever met who understands my struggles. I feel like an alien and I guess need to know are there aliens like me. And if there are, did you figure it out? I don't even know if I am in the right place but can anyone relate to this:
What I am struggling most with:
What others tell how they experience me (these thighs have been said repeatedly by different people) and I do not understand why.
Things I have under control and I learned to do even though I don’t feel like doing them but I know they are important:
I just need to know that it gets better because I am at 100% capacity trying my best and still failing.

I am 53 and I share many of your traits. You can learn how to control some of those to a certian extent, like you have already shown but some things will still be there. You have a lot going on, for instance I knew I never wanted kids, I now know thats the autism, I could never cope with the sacrifices involved. I have found that I go through good and bad parts of my live where the aurism retreats a bit when things go well. Then it comes back with a vengenance and melt downs. I think it is import ant not to be too hard on your self and think too much into what you think other people think, if that makes sense? People with ASD are massivley over thinkers anyway.

You speak with truths which is why I have adopted " Do not distress yourself with imaginings" and try to rely on objective facts.
