Embarrassed

Thankyou.

They suck humanity out of you don't they. Crafty 

It’s oka!, I just added you on here as friend though so you can private mail me 

Thankyou but I don't do social media anymore...its took me two weeks to speak up on here. 

This terrifies me. I'm so so scared of saying the wrong words. I'm not very aware of how words can affect people. Actions to me affect me more....can anyone relate to that?

My Nan was just like her.

Congratulations on your diagnosis.

So glad most of your nearest and dearest get it, as for those who don't... err yeah maybe you did just run naked through their misconceptions...lol.. go you! Remember, they aren't bad people, just errr...   in need of learning. You can teach them. Well done you for telling them. It's the first day of a valuable education for them. 

Laugh! Then, put 'em wise. I hope they learn to laugh with you at their former ignorance, rather than at you.

Yeah we get bored very quickly! If you want add me on snap 

Ooo you know her too then. Snide is a very good word for her.

Ha, you would get bored quickly...trust me. But thankyou 

Oh wow thankyou, you maybe don't know what you were getting at and I don't even know what I am getting at....maybe we have felt embarrassed all our lives for not fitting in. I honestly don't know but thankyou the same I appreciate you replying.  In some sort of way we feel proud but ashamed at the same time. I honestly hate talking about me. 

Hello, never feel alone, never be embarrassed, some people don’t speak too people Because they don’t know how too. Your more than welcome too speak too me on Snapchat:: Karinarowsellxo 

Your Stepmum is just set in her ways. She thinks, in her own wee world, that's she's helping. But, in reality, she's snide.

I can entirely understand the feeling you described here. I have told a few people and wished I could take it back based on their immediate reaction (not encountered anything too bad as of yet though). The thing that I’m slowly coming to terms with though, is that other peoples’ reactions are going to be varied, but maybe it will spur them on to learning about something that they have little to no understanding of, or perhaps their knowledge is based on untrue information and misunderstandings. I’m also quite enjoying the concept of just telling people, when I judge it to be right for me, and leaving it at that. If they want to know any more about me, I’m working on the assumption that they’ll ask. If they don’t ask for more, I don’t say anymore about it. I’m finding that people are asking more when they are ready. Anyway, I don’t really know what I’m getting at here, but I suppose I’m trying to say that not everyone will get it and that’s maybe okay. We can just do our bit to raise awareness and explain ourselves to a world that doesn’t quite see things from a neurologically diverse viewpoint.

All the best

I'm not embarrassed about being autistic by the way.
