DO what you think is better. If you can control it then be "light headed" if you cant control it then Im sure you will still be able to do the things you want to do. Just because you have autism doesnt mean you cant enjoy life and get what you want.


I never said I wasn’t enjoying life and I don’t know what you mean by “getting what you want.” I was just saying thta autism is very difficult to deal with. Please educate yourself.

You didnt mean to say that you do not enjoy life in the literal sense, but you did say that communication issues are a hindrance to you and very off-putting. I was being hypothetical. I know autism can be difficult to deal with. I am trying to say have a more positive attitude. I am confident that you can control your autism at least to a degree. You said yourself that you know when something is wrong. Light headed means have a more positive attitude also. I didnt want to sound very superficial. Good luck.


I do have a very positive attitude, thank you very much. I’m allowed to have off days though. No one is perfect.

Autism is not something that can be “controlled,” only managed. Again, please educate yourself.

I feel very hurt right now. :( I am new to these forums so I’m sorry if I’m posting this in the wrong place.

are you allowed back in ? If not and you need someone to talk to, im here.

Most people just want someone to talk to and all they do is act like drill sergeants, strictly enforcing rules and banning people with no explanation. Some people break rules without realizing it. One of the mods who messaged me talked to me in a very condescending tone. I told them that it was a miscommunication (being on the spectrum, I struggle a lot with communication) and I asked them if they would please let me explain the situation, but they just told me to close the chat and then ignored me. I then closed the chat and cried for the rest of the night while having an autism meltdown. This experience has been very triggering to both my autism and ptsd and I really hope it gets resolved soon.

Maybe closer assistance could help these people.

Easier said than done, but this is the key to almost every mental issue. Sometimes, we're the only ones who can help ourselves.

Hello
I'm not a doctor, but I like to help
Also, I'm not like you but, I do understand people like you.

The reason you come across rude, is because you don't sugar coat things. You give people straight answers. If someone asks you; how was your day?
You reply; it was good, or, it was bad. People think that's rude, because your giving them one word answers; but guess what...YOU are speaking/answering, correctly.

If they had asked you; how was your day and, what did you do? Well now they are asking for more information. In that case, you probably would give them a longer answer. For example; You went the store, bought some shoes and later that night, you baked a cake. If they asked for that information, you would probably tell them; but they didn't ask that; they asked, how was your day; which honestly, grammatically and mathematically; only requires, a one word answer.

Whereas It's true, a lot people automatically, offer more information; not all people do.
In closing, your answer is correct; theirs is too...its just coated in sugar.
