| Ummm...If the chocolate doesn't go smoothly then just roll your eyes and blame me. Note that you got the idea from an old guy you've never met and he has A u t i s m so it's not surprising he's not good with things related to feelings. P.S. I hope the chocolate does work...and tastes good! I love c... |

| Would 4-year old you and your hurt friend enjoy some * chocolate ? * If "Yes" for both of you then you could get chocolate for both of you and take it to your hurt friend, explain why you wanted to share chocolate with them, then the two of you could enjoy the chocolate. Oh yes. Thank you... |

| You may be “broken” now but I think you will recover. You are still here because time and time again you have managed to find a way get out or overcome seemingly impossible problems. You will probably find some way again. Of course while you are in the midst of it all it is hard to see a way out. F... |

| The other thing is that I was diagnosed late in life, so I didn't pick up the habit of seeing my relationship with the world as ASD v. NT. That's a good point, before my Dx everyone else in the world were 'normal'. Same here. But I did feel like I was an alien. I just didn't understand why I felt t... |

| What do you think would happen if you created an account on Twitter and deliberately made people get angry at you and bully you? Do you think it would still cause issues with your non-existant emotional shield? Maybe it could be used for desensitisation? Sorry if this is a stupid advice. Obviously ... |

| It's not just a child who doesn't understand why people would attack her. When I was a young adult I still wouldn't understand it. I was so gullible and trusting, despite not trusting humans on a fundamental level. Ironically today I enjoy it when I make people on social media get irrationally angr... |

| And I can't ignore the fact that many nts tell me that I deserve to be treated that way. Probably impossible, impracticable or both, but you need to get these people out of your life skibum. Is your username related to skiing in any way? It's not possible to get "these people" out of my l... |

| I do my best to not harbor resentment of any kind. But I cannot ignore the massive, critical, and irreparable damage that is being done to me because of how many nts treat me. And I can't ignore the fact that many nts tell me that I deserve to be treated that way. |

| The latest bout of bullying and abuse that I have had over the past few weeks has left me completely crushed and destroyed. It has been so brutal that I feel like my mind has snapped. My spirit feels dead. I do believe that I am broken. I am not able to function. I don't know that I will be able to ... |

The pattern tests are definitely an ASD thing. What other stuff in particular? |

| No, I was not unknowingly diagnosed. I think I felt a connection with autism for some reason and started doing more research and eventually my behavior became more autistic. Maybe I was unmasking, or maybe I was going through burnout, or something else. I’ve had suspicions before then that I was on... |

| I just had an episode where I felt completely that I had convinced myself I have autism and was faking it because of a superiority complex that has to do with an obsession with intelligence. Right when I woke up I had these thoughts, and I felt they were true since clearest thinking usually happens... |
