"it takes a long time afterwards to understand what was “me” and what was “them.”

...

.Anyone can memory-foam,…but I feel it is especially common for autistics. And I have a few ideas why.

@foolishowl @Ilovechai @autisticadvocacy @actuallyautistic @actuallyaudhd I don’t really know what I want either. Lifetime of masking makes is weird. Who am I? How the hell do I know? I know I am a good kind person, but I don’t know what I want. I only know what I don’t like.

@ScottSoCal @Lotta @foolishowl @Ilovechai @autisticadvocacy @actuallyautistic @actuallyaudhd Yes I agree. I love my 4 dogs & 2 cats… just the right amount of totally interested in you & a healthy dose of seriously? You have to pet me the way I like & I will let you kiss my head & talk to the butt, unless you have squishy food… up to you all to determine which species is which. But safe space!

Doctor suggested I have but I don't think I do because:
I am able to force myself to do things even if I'm not interested in it.
I do not like spontaneity.
When I have a deadline, I cannot leave it to the last minute or anxiety would cripple me.
But I do struggle to pay attention unless am hyperfocused. And I do have executive function challenges. And I have to have a project. And I crave dopamine hits.

Anyone else similar to that?

@Zumbador @un_ouragan @niamhgarvey @miffyhelen @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd yeah I can see that, but for me the baby &years before teens were coolest ever despite the work, those little humans accepted you 100%. I never had to mask around them. Just treated them with respect,let them be who they were. Did not follow my parents way. Cause that trauma me. Might gone too far trying to logic with a 5 year old though.
