Articulate?

If you are extremely articulate then your seen as extremely able. What can you do if you can’t mix with people and are highly sensitive person but seen as very able and full of attitude. Do you think this is not autistic?

  • I don’t think any if what you describe would suggest that a person is not autistic, or that on its own would suggest that a person could be autistic. 

    I wonder if you could talk to a professional such as a psychotherapist or counsellor who is experienced in dealing with autistic people? 

    Many autistic people find mixing with other people difficult but often it’s because of communication difficulties causing distress rather than not wanting to be sociable, at least that is what I have read, and is what I have experienced. Being sensitive would add to the distress.
