hello. i am new on this forum, and in autistic community.
i am 30 years old, and have lived in a strictly NT community, so i have some sort of compensatory mechanism developed, but also it had sort of malfunctioned. i am aspergerian, i have several other issues picked up along the way. maybe i am not aware of some. i am trying to figure out how to function socially after a freshly occured trauma, that damaged my NT mimicking, leading me to think, that, maybe, i really should not do that in the first place. it feels self destructive in the retrospective, but it is all i know. i am looking for a way to identify myself.

Greetings serpentari, you need not feel bad for whatever measures you have to take to so-called fit into the world so to speak. I hope during your tenure here, that not only do you find information & advice helpful to you pertaining to a whole host of scenarios and social environments but, make friends in the course of that too.


Once again, welcome aboard.

thank you. reading other asperger people talking is... like reading in my mothertongue i never knew, after a lifelong of reading in a learned-by-trial language, that was not mine.

Welcome serpentari!

The best thing is to find people who accept you for who you really are. Who you can be your true self with. Wearing a mask has a negative effect on you in the end. It isn't healthy. Good luck!

Enjoy the forum!

thank you. i have found such people, they are NT and doing everything they can to make me feel better. but well, acceptance and understanding are different things. i perfectly had learned the hard way, how unhealthy a mask is. and reducing my contacts to several people, who can handle me unfiltered, would be a sub-optimal solution, too.
