Vulnerable

Star

Do you think having ASD  we deserve to be termed vulnerable adult s . I don’t see my self as weak but I do think my good nature can be played upon . I find people who do things morally wrong upsetting . People think I unable and have no compassion for feeling s but I see see feelings in a different way

  • With the benefit of knowing that I’m autistic, a look back at my life has revealed many, many instances where my unrecognised vulnerabilities, coupled with a lack of appropriate support, has ended very badly for me.

    Just for example, that includes a failed marriage to a manipulative, lying, cheating spouse. If I’d known I was autistic, and if I’d had the kind of support that I unknowingly needed, it would have been pointed out to me - both long before I married them, and throughout the (thankfully very short) course of the marriage - that they were a person of bad character, with dishonest intentions.
