Lonely outcast

Post Reply New Topic

I feel like a lonely outcast in my own house. Since learning of my ASD the one important person I've told hasn't really looked into it at all. Honestly if I had lung cancer he'd be the same way. But because this is a lifestyle and affects my personality and behavior greatly, I feel like he needs to understand ASD to understand ME.

I don't have great needs socially. I don't need to be understood by the masses. I don't need 2 or 5 or 100 friends. I just need 1 person to understand me and take me seriously.

When other people are around I feel picked on by them even though they're not really saying anything bad. I know I just interpret them wrong. And I get irritated by the things they say or the tone of voice used. I always get offended, but rarely say so.

I'm just tired of this tonight. Tomorrow will be better.

It is a new day now. Do you feel any better?

Perhaps ASD support in your area could be of use? If anyone can understand an autistic one hopes it'd be another autistic. Perhaps the person you confided in just isn't the one to support you. But that doesn't mean that no one is!
