A month has passed now since I was diagnosed as autistic, I just feel totally lost, I know it often comes up that autistic people feel like aliens in this world, I can honestly say I don’t feel part of this world at all, I don’t feel I ever have. I spend less and less time with people, they are too hard to navigate and seem cruel most of the time
I seem to have no emotions, I feel neither happy or sad, I just seem to exist. I got into trouble with a family member at the weekend for not showing empathy over an event. Am I supposed to make up emotions to please others, Is this all part of the mask?
Sorry, just venting.
