Hello All, I am new to here.
I'm having severe anxiety over a problem. I know I have to address it or it wont go away. I wonder how others with ASD deal with the issues we have.
Q: How to explain/ask/tell family member not to call me often and only short calls.
This particular person is difficult because he doesn't accept Asperger's. He is very intense and overwhelms me and I've always hidden myself, just try to get through and survive interactions and pacify people. I've given a wrong impression of myself to everyone before my diagnosis and now I have to try to speak up where needed, so I can move foreword with life. I would just have nothing to do with him only he is my brother.
I would so so appreciate any suggestions as Im not getting anywhere searching internet, all the time anxiety builds.
Ive avoided posting on here since I was Diagnosed with Aspergers 2 & half yrs ago, as Im introverted, struggle to explain myself and avoid new things. But here goes.
I'm really grateful for your responses!
I am taking a while figuring out what to say. Unsure if you can give a general response on here or have to reply to individuals? I'm such a Dinosaur. (Will see when I send this if it is a general response)!?
You can private message people if their settings allow it, I believe that to be correct.
