Evening
I’m New to this forum
awaiting an NHS formal diagnosis
So my question / advice needed
all of my partners have said that I was at times aloof distanct and secretive at other times very intuitive.
I now believe this could be because of autism
if a discussion with a partner gets heated . I find myself not keeping up , I get emotionally overwhelmed and then before therapy angry .
I now can explain that I’m getting overwhelmed and need time out . Afterwards I have great difficulty remembering what was said.
I have also found that I can make eye contact easily and hold contact. I believe this seams to make people open up to me and will continue to speak because I am interested due to me keeping eye contact.
however this seams to drain a lot of energy out of me and I then need space to recentre on myself
Anyone have anything similar or can head me in a direction
thanks
