Hello to my ASD

AdscendoDreamer

Hello - I guess I'm writing this assuming there are already 1000s of these so assuming I am wasting peoples time even bothering with this.

After five months of therapy I am coming to terms with my AUDHD. 

Having spent the first 50 years of my life convincing myself and others 'I don't like people' and mis-reading or not even noticing the signs in my body and mind.

Having people 'joke' that I was 'on the spectrum' and brushing it off. 

Over the last nearly half a year going through some of the lowest points, but working on understanding how I work and seeing the difference.

This feels a mess of a post, but hello.

  • Hello.

    I find your first sentence curious. There are lots of other people who have said hello, but there is only one of you. If they all said hello how does that affect you? Also why should you not say hello.

    And why is it a waste of other people's time. It is your time too. You thought it was worth the effort to write. You can't tell what other people will make if it. Assuming you know what other people are thinking is one of the cognitive distortions that can be quite problematic.

    You send you words out into the void and see what happens.

    Having the confidence to speak and be seen is a good thing, if perhaps scary. It us how people connect and broaden their horizons. 

    So, hello.

    And posts can be a bit unstructured. It's what makes people real. Putting things into words, and in particular writing them down, helps order thoughts. It is why journalling is effective.
