So Tired

LS

I'm a 44 year old autistic woman and I'm struggling more then ever at the moment.  I'm so angry with myself that at my age I cannot hold a conversation.  I have a job and went out for lunch the other day with 5 colleagues who I have met a few times, conversation was flowing between them and I just sat there with nothing to say.  I could tell they thought I should be contributing and now I'm just angry at myself for being this way.

Sorry for the rant, I just can't cope.

  • I can relate LS too, I’m in my 50s and have no chance when it comes to group social conversations. They are beyond me and try to either blend into the background or perhaps nod/laugh in the right place. I find it exhausting. I did beat myself up too until I discovered I am autistic, now try to minimise or avoid these things.
