meeting you here helps to get to know myself

Post Reply New Topic

Hey WP-community!

New on the forum, but not new to the spectrum..
My diagnosis was more then ten years ago, but I put it 'aside', like it was an wrapped box inside my back pack for all this time.
Only now I start to realize the REAL impact it had on my life, living as a hypersensitive child, never being able to receive what I need. Desperately trying to cope and reinventing myself. Not being able to perform simple tasks (sometimes), while more difficult ones were performed in excel. Blaming and hurting myself.

Now, being 32 and a lot of identity crises later, I'm ready to find this part of myself. To start integrating the sensory issues, define what is happening, working on the executive functioning related inertia and being somewhat more productive in daily tasks.

Because of reading here on the forum, I start to get to know myself, define 'my autism', defining the autistic me, and ready to love myself for real and for who I really am. Even with all the paradoxes. eg. speaking a lot but finding it exhausting and a preference of being alone -or in groups with a vow of silence- so there is no need to speak.

It feels good to finally get a hold of myself, who I am and what I need.

Oh and I'm ready to get to know more neurodiverse people, exchange ideas. I'm done with the illusions of NT-world. It just exhausts me.

Thanks and much love to you all. You are awesome and I love the way you think.

Hey Lunajana welcome.

Welcome to WP

This is a great place to meet other people. We are not all alike, but I have found it very helpful to ask questions or just get some things of my chest. There are a lot of great people willing to lend an ear and share their stories or tips
