I was going to make a joke how there's just too many options to ever choose just one... but that sums it up perfectly, right there.

Probably loneliness, followed by the executive function deficits/discrepancies that make me feel like I don't have access to my supposed intelligence.

Executive Functioning. That it "decided" to affect such a small minority of people putting us at a huge disadvantage.

i was going to say "alienation", which to me is probably even worse than my permanent inability to relax, but i don't know if i can attribute it to autism

The lack of respect I get from certain people, including my mum.

The difficulty of coping in everyday life and also being judged and stereotyped because of it.

I also hate the way it makes me have an unfriendly face. Even when I look up and make eye contact and smile, people still look at me awkwardly.

2nd biggest involves this phase:

"I can only hear the noise, and not the voices."

Not the biggest but one I wish to share:

It made me go mad from the revelations I have uncovered. Learning about brains, observing neurotypical society, and many other things have made me greatly disturbed inside. The fact so much of our lives is tied into physical brain differences, the fact due to my aspergers I think in a very non-fluid way seeing things in a very materialistic manner noticing the cause and effect behind actions and so forth awakening the Thomas Hobbes in me, I see paradoxes in actions everywhere and instead of ignoring them become disturbed at not being able to correlate it properly, my dabbling into information on the brain has made me question the existence of free will, our emotions are just chemical reactions that can be affected by our enviroment, and a bunch of other things neurotypical people have the option of freely ignoring due to their heavy reliance on their subconcious to take care of their actions and ability to see the bigger picture letting them ignore the fine disturbing details. (But some have the option to observe the details if they wish, we are forced into it)

Overthinking things and not getting on with people.

But most of all that it gives the anti-vaxx morons the ammunition to put even more children at risk.

I wouldn't say this is purely because of autism...but the combination of various things I have going on with makes it hard to accomplish much of anything. I miss the feeling of being really proficient at something and successful at it. Jack of all trades and master of none.

But one autistic trait I really dislike is face blindness. It's just plain embarrassing not to know who people are.


OH...scratch what I said above. My biggest complaint is feeling like I'm always expected to adjust to other people and how they do things. :evil:

I don't think there's anything wrong with me; I'm just different. My grievance is with intolerant people who won't make room in this world for people who are different.
