Hello,
I got diagnosed 7months ago, just before my 28th birthday. Ever since people have been telling me that all my social issues will be solved by going on forums and finding people who share my interests, but the problem is I don't really have any. I like things but not so intently that a person's negative opinion about them wouldn't make me consider dropping that interest. And I don't know lots about stuff I like. I like movies but like I've never seen most of the big ones people seem to always want to talk about. I remember when I heard my friends watched Community I was like "Oooh I've seen that!!" And then they made all these references I didn't get and I started to wonder if I'd missed half the show.
So yeah, here's me trying to join a community forum when I don't even know what I want to talk about with you
No special interests, at work I pick up processes extremely quickly and am able to do it after a practice run
Yes Golf23, I'm super quick at picking things up. It does tend to set people's expectations really high and then I feel like I'm letting them down. But I still count it as a super power
It is a bit of a curse
My supervisor thinks I can do the job of 4 people because of it
Why have 4 people, when you can have one who takes a lot less to train and can repeat processes efficiently!!
