What is the most disabling part of your autism?

Post Reply New Topic

Mine is verbal communication and social interaction.

Mine is the lack of ability to teach and be a leader.

In what capacity(ies)?

In any capacity, basically—-except I do well with one-on-one sometimes.

Black and white thinking, sometimes I just can't let go of an issue.

The most disabling aspect for me is sensory processing issues and commorbidities.

Sensory issues, especially to the noise and cold.

The fact that I find interacting with other people so exhausting. It ruins my relationships with other people because they get upset that I don't want to spend time with them.

And the obsessive behavour, but I think that's the crutch rather than the autism. It divides me from other people too. That's prob why my subconscious chose it.

I would say social communication, self-managing (executive functioning) for me are the most difficult, or rigid thinking. I can interact better than I can verbally communicate in certain instances, if that makes sense.

A mix of sensory, cognitive dysfunction and difficulty with math.

Difficulty with things that are unplanned, conflict aversion.

Very low frustration level, and giving up easily
Extremely low ability to deal with boring things for more than a very short time
Getting too easily overwhelmed
and how I need silence in order to focus

Thanks, Living. That’s makes me feel good.

I think my inability to, say, teach a class with multiple students , is caused by a sort of dyspraxia.

Poor executive functioning getting in the way of improving my life even when I know what I need to do, how to do it, and have the resources - it so easily makes me live in a boring and repetitive rut of looping round the same old routines and making the same old mistakes over and over again.

Getting stressed and overwhelmed easily in social situations.
