I'm confused again . . .

Post Reply New Topic

Like this is an uncommon occurance . . . but here is what is confusing me this time . . .

I got diagnosed at the suggestion of this person that I know - and she said that I might feel better knowing and knowing there are other people out there like me - and I do - but now she is saying that I'm identifying too much with the ideas about AS that I'm learning about and that I shouldn't polarize so much . . . and I'm not - I'm just realizing that there are other people out there that think like me and learning about the similarities we have in trying to figure out how normal people operate . . .
It is very wierd - I still respect other people just as much as I ever did - I still even accept that I'm the wierdo - but I am seeing that there are other wierdos out there that think the way I do - and I don't think that there is anything wrong with identifying with that after 30 years of thinking I was just an evil person . . .

I suppose I should stick to topics like gardening and cooking and my companion animals when talking to this person in the future . . .
I find it odd that her advice should change so radically - there is the possiblity she is just bored with me - as people tend to get . . .

"even" NTs go for something 150% when they first get interested in it, animallover, and i know AS is still new for me (i.e., me having AS), and i'm analysing everything with reference to my AS. as soon as the novelty wears off, i'm sure it will be less pervasive, certainly for me.

and let's face it - for some bizarre reason, we're never as fascinating to other people as we are to ourselves

give yourself time to assimilate this new way of looking at the world, eh?
