Describe your autism in one word

Post Reply New Topic

Overwhelming

This word could either have a positive or negative connotation so I think I'll go with that.

Forgetful. I had a major moment of stupidity yesterday when I forget where I put my cellphone.

Insurmountable.

Torturous.

Keep calm and stim away.

Isolation - I have never managed to connect properly or take part in what goes on around me in a way that could ever brake the feeling of isolation.

But also:

Knowledge - because learning has been important and a great inspiration to me and I have been open to new knowledge and interested in activley searching for knowledge, (maybe I should ad the ability to recognise/admit when I need more knowledge) and that can be seen as a positive side to it ??

These two words are those that came into my mind first and that I relate to personally.

Lonely,
Or isolated.

alone

A quick count:

1. isolating/outcast/ostracising = 7
2. alone/lonely = 4
frustrating = 4
3. confined/prison/trapped = 3
truth/facts = 3
confused/confusing = 3
odd/different/quirky = 3
4. exhausting = 2
efficient = 2

Hell

Outsider

Intense

Skewed.

Obsessive
Passionate

Something I only accepted to seek a diagnosis for because I was completely dependent on my parents, despite being legally an adult, and feared they’d just kick me out and let me die if I didn’t comply. I won’t consider myself independent till I manage to get rid of this stigma, get a real job which doesn’t rely on handouts based on it, and give back to the world all the wealth I’ve sucked parasitically this way, with interests.
