re: #49 Ziggy_TARDIS

I often do think I am in the worst possible spot.

My Autism is so mild that I am almost normal, but not quite normal enough to be able to be able function normally, so I am often lonely.

This is my big frustration with the Dallas Muslim Community. They have a stereotype for what Autism is, and they think they know what that means in regards to help and what my life will be.

All I want is friends in one case, and matrimonial assistance. I would still need the matrimonial assistance if I wasn’t autistic. And I have no idea how to get through to them what I need.

Yeah our autism impacts us similarly. I often feel lonely and misunderstood too. I feel overwhelmed by it in the sense that I feel I’ll never truly fit into society and I definitely feel lonely in regards to finding a SO. I mean it’s difficult and far from easy. I just wish Kennedy hadn’t likened it to being in a concentration camp, I thought that was wrong. If he had said it’s not easy and we should try to understand those with autism better, fine. I’d still have a problem with the anti vax stuff but I would not be as bothered.
