What it can be like to live with autism


Posts: 2504

So, to be honest I usually don't notice when I am being awkward irl unless someone points it out to me. 

When someone does it does make me feel bad I guess, nervous maybe but I'm unsure

Today I almost got hit by a car because the cars were so loud that I had difficulty crossing the street, and this scared me to the point that I peed myself

And even though I was wearing adult diapers they don't work worth a shot they leak half the time 

I have bad bladder control as it is unrelated to autism, however if I get scared and irl noises startle me easily I do tend to pee...

I just feel like nothing I try works completely, noise cancelling headphones don't block sound, earbuds block sound kind of but not really, although if I jam them way in my ears and wear noise cancelling headphones and secure it with a scarf this works well but also causes damage to my ears, I only do it during emergencies like fourth of july 

 

I went to the university and I found they have a library I think I'm going to sneak in later. 

 

I have a difficult time knowing what my emotions are 

I get told I don't seem like I have autism over uninformed reasons like that I make a lot of eye contact (actually I have been told I made to much) even though excessive eye contact is ironically common in autistic females

I just wish I could be called anything other than autistic so that I wouldn't be stereotyped this much or asked to fit in a box seen on the media that is a fictional box that most autistic people, especially females don't fit. 

Like maybe if I said I had borderline or something I could get some understanding and people would be like "ohhhhhhhhhh ok I get you, it's cool" 

Instead of being like "aren't you supposed to b like the big bang theory?"

Fuck you I existed before that show did, I was one of the first wave of autistic women to be diagnosed and recognized far before your inaccurate insult of a fucking show, have some respect.

Anyway, still trying to navigate the world despite a few minor issues

Too much info... it's like you're asking people to make fun of you. I don't doubt someone might use this to make fun of you.

That's male autism.

 There's psychologists that specialize in autism.

No and I don't care if I am made fun of, sc I where I share personal shit, I care more if someone I know judges me than someone online

Its not all make autism although yes I know that's my point.

 I know but I can't figure out how to get or but I don't need one, john's hopkins had them and they were awful, I am not autistic anymore anyway, I decided like five minutes ago, I am undiagnosing myself by ignoring the diagnosis they gave me
