First, I am a late diagnosis, so if some of my terminology is offensive please tell me, assimilation is hard.
On the the point, I have been noticing a pattern, I am in a number of allistic or mixed groups, online or in meetup type spaces. I am trying to expand my social circle, and I have nearly always been alone.
Is it typical amongst nurotypical people to respond to a question with need for information questions and then, when they realize that (and I don’t know which) they’re not interested or they can’t help they just move on, not explain that they can’t help or aren’t interested?
Okay, so first wow and thank you, that is a lot and I am going to need to read it a few times and I love it!
Now I have to tell you the first few sentences I had a person with hands together 🙏clapping them rapidly right at their sternum. And for the rest there was a hurried voice and someone repeatedly returning up and down to and from tip toes. And-it-was-magical.
Now I am going to read that like 5 times so I can absorb it. And thank you again…I will also look at that book, but I generally run stuff like that by my therapist first to make sure it doesn’t clash with what we are working on at the moment.
You’re very welcome!
Yes, I was excited similar to the person you described, but I wasn’t in a position to act it out at the time. I still felt it though!
Let me know if you have any questions about what I commented. Also, please know that I am not a specialist in this field or a therapist. I’m just some guy that got real interested in the subject once I was diagnosed.
That sounds like a great rule to have 🙂
I am very glad because I felt like I brought joy to your life.
And I will I have a bookmark placed on your comment so I can get back to it. If I come up with questions I will put it in a reply here so you will get a notification.
