Sometimes I feel like coming here to WP just makes my day worse, not better.
Was discussing this with another member; it's the irony of being on a site where we all have communication difficulties anyway. And then surprise surprise, there's a lot of misreading, misunderstanding, people picking up on something someone says casually and focusing on their mistaken interpretation. I do it too, and I'm on the receiving end at other times.
But it makes for this place actually not feeling like a supportive place to be. Instead when I click on my bookmark I'm often thinking "So, what crap-pile of misunderstanding am I going to have to fight today?"
It's just great to find I don't even fit in HERE.
I feel that way every once in a while myself. After some time pass I think to myself "these people also have autism, I know full well that things such as misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and misreadings will happen! If it didn't then it probably wouldn't be considered a mental disorder. So I then just roll with the punches!
