Just something that’s rattling around in my head at the moment. Does anyone else feel they are saying sorry all the time for wanting autistic needs to be taken seriously, if not actually saying sorry, feeling guilt when needing something to be altered slightly?
Common examples are when something is supposed to finish at a certain time and then continues, food alterations or needing time alone.
It’s something I’m aware of all the time, a guilt and balancing act of “am I making this all about me and autism, am I being too needy, do others think I’m making it all about me?”
I find I’m often saying nothing and trying to battle on, this l then leads to a worse situation. It can lead to comments like, “you’ve gone quiet.”
