Aspergers & Doing Things

Post Reply New Topic

Why things can be hard to do, even the little stuff can be hard?

I’m sorry you’re having a difficult time. Life seems to be getting more difficult since pre pandemic. I think everyone is trying to adapt to a different world and it’s more difficult for some of us than others. Sometimes I think I’m lucky I didn’t know I have Asperger’s until i was in my 50s cuz I thought I was a bit different all these years because I’m from a village and I don’t have much in common with the people in the city I live in. I never dreamed I didn’t have much in common with anyone. I thought everyone had the same social struggles and the struggles that I have. Then again I wonder if someone had noticed me as a child and taught me more social skills maybe I wouldn’t always be saying the wrong thing and offending and hurting people when I don’t mean to.

One thing about things that are difficult or mistakes that are made is that if they are repetitive, there is the opportunity to learn to improve.

I saw an interview with a famous potter once and he said, "If you do anything 20-30,000 times, you are bound to get good at it."
