  • I’m sure your stepdad is a very good person. You’re right that we should feel free to like what we want. Sometimes it feels hard to ignore the haters, but I’ll try!

    Unfortunately I’m stuck with this therapist for at least six months before he retires and is replaced by someone else. I can’t afford another one which is not funded by disability support :(


  • Thank you very much for your answer! I’m sorry that sometimes you feel similar, I know it’s hard.

    You actually gave me helpful advice! I love your description of life, as a gift to be fully appreciated and not to be spent feeling bad. I will try to change my mindset and stop feeling uncomfortable for being myself.

    Thanks for the YouTube channel suggestion. I already heard of it, but never actually watched it. Other people told me it’s interesting too. I will check it out :)

    Good luck to you too!



  • Thanks for your input!

    After all, an autistic person is a human, so it’s likely that non-autistic people experience stuff like this too.

    What changes, in my opinion, is the intensity of the internal world, I perceive all emotions very strongly, especially the negative ones.

    While you’re right that knowing I’m not alone in what I’m going through doesn’t solve my problems, it still helps a little. At least I don’t feel too out of place.

    Edit: you’re right, I should get a new therapist. Unfortunately, though, I cannot afford another one, as I’m not working yet. I had to choose the cheapest option.
