How often do you talk about autism?

Post Reply New Topic

I talk about AS on here of course, and on a few other sites, but not on social media.

IRL I sometimes talk to my mother about Asperger traits, behavior, POVs, reactions etc. No one else ever.

I was recently diagnose with this Aspergers and I felt great shame because of it. I have no pride in it and I hate the fact that I might be me because of it and not my own will to power. Thus, I dislike talking about it and since I hate the pity revolved around the fact that I have it.

Much less than my interests. It used to be an interest but my comorbid is more troublesome so I know more about that. Not something I mention to people very often at all and it has never been a staying interest because there is so much more to look at in the world of psychology. Sometimes I think "am I looking at this because it interests me all that much or am I looking at it because it pertains to me"? So I talk about it at WP, and typically if I do read something on it it's probably to do with neurology, because I am very interested in neurology.

I talk about it a lot. I find that people want to learn and know about it so I try to share what I have learned with them.

I voted "sometimes" meaning, "when I am asked, or an explanation is called for", - and, of course, here, on this page.

I'm fine talking about the spectrum in this site; the rest of the internet? Not so.

There are rare times where a very few of my friends (one of them is a psychologist, one of them is gifted, and one of them has ADHD instead). I won't mind if they questioned it first.


But in real, I almost don't. But sometimes, I give my glimpse of my point of view to my relatives whenever I'm ranting about something. But then, none of them understands.
I almost never talked about it. But I get a feeling that some people around me already knew; and 'faking NT' is useless. But then, that didn't helped much. It only gets a bit annoying.
Sometimes, my mom, she usually tells my case to others. I already told her NOT to being it up anymore. Sometimes, she's not aware, that I know, that she tells some people whenever she tells me to leave to talk to others.

And just earlier today, my (new) professor just spotted me being in the spectrum. I didn't replied back when I get to hear him questioning it IN FRONT OF THE CLASS because I pretended to sleep in class.
