NT Housemates. Arg.

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone got any tips on coexisting happily with NT housemates? I think they're getting fed up of me hiding away, keeping bizarre hours, not cooking with them etc. One of them knows I get periods of depression and that I have to hide in my cave sometimes, but the other one sort of laughed when I told him about AS. I'm moving house soon but this is something that will be relevant to any shared house I live in. I have the worst luck with housemates, mostly for reasons other than brain, and I want the next one to work out! I'll be living in a big-ish house with one other person, don't know if she's NT or not but she's gay and does youth work and seems a generally awesome person who respects differences. Also we might be getting a kitten, which could provide a nice little communication medium. So how do you guys cope with housesharing?

Some people are harder to get along with than others. I'd say, if someone doesn't like me, they have to get over it. If they do like me, then I think we'll get along fine. As long as they give me my space.

And kittens always help, too.
