D'You Know What I Mean?

Autistic Not Alien

It's a crazy situation, but all I need is clarity and peace, and yet I’ve been constantly misunderstood throughout my life. I thought that always choosing my words carefully would mean mutual harmony. Nope. I’m autistic, and it often feels like I’m speaking and writing in a different language to the one neurotypical people are using.

I've posted a video about communication/miscommunication in the usual place. Let me know your thoughts if you have a spare few minutes.

  • Adding to my comments below. I really overshare..that's what makes me feel anxious about being myself. Its odd I'm really private but parallel to this can really overshare. Oh dear, makes me want to just hide away and keep safe on my own before I've even started trying to be myself and unmask.
