What aspect of aspergers do you find most challenging

Post Reply New Topic

I have almost no interpersonal skills. Because of the horrible ways I've been treated throughout my life in various places, I have developed a fear of people. And that, in turn, makes it impossible for me to have a decent career despite my education.

If OCD counts as part of autism, then that has a big negative impact on my life. I waste so much time doing useless OCD things in my head. I also cannot make up my mind. Decision making is almost impossible.

I don't know exactly what to call this one. It's hard to describe it, but I'm sure it's related to autism. I don't seem to be able to figure out how the world works/how to survive in the world. I'm barely surviving. For example, I don't know how I go about finding a job, how to buy a house etc - things that most adults do. I'm very naif like a child.

I can be very good at one specific aspect of something, but I cannot relate it to the whole.

I´ve been thinking,- maybe it is really the cognitive issues, - the different understanding of things being said in ordinary situations in an ordinary daily language, where you have to fill the gaps yourself, - sometimes the moments of not understanding one word, - and the confusion, when interruptions and quick alteration of plans occur.
I suppose, that is the real handicap in AS.
This is, at least, what have made/does make it very hard for me to hold down a job.
