When in doubt, heart their message. It's a good way to interact and acknowledge without being "too much"

If someone noticed how much I like pickles, and was kind enough to bring me pickles, we would be friends forever.

I think a lot of times people just like you for you and it’s the outlier moments like when your very charged in any emotional direction happy/sad/mad that it’s most needed for you to understand how to best curb your gut instinct for mood of the group as a whole. It’s those moments that happen the least often, but still a jump in intensity that stick out the most in people’s minds, ironically.

It took years for me to find a group of friends I’m comfortable around, and even now I still enjoy hanging in the periphery at group events. I like to observe and sometimes join in which makes group chats enjoyable since generally the people I’m in chats with don’t care that I drop in and out randomly

wow... I just had a galaxy brain moment, I thought I was ok with groups for so many years but that was only because I had a "job" I could focus on: event planner/coordinator. Now I'm too burnt out to function in large groups and have reverted to low-impact hangouts with 1-2 friends max 😂

hey there sweet girl I dont know if you will see this and if you do there is no need to respond I just want you to know that I have a daughter named Ophelia she has autism as well and she is 9 years old, she LOVES to watch your videos about you talking about your struggles with autism and navigating life. she often feels left out and like no one understands whats going on in her world but she says " she understands my brain mama" so thank you for giving my girl something i couldnt. keep being you because you are PERFECT ❤️

have you ever used the Marco polo app? it's asynchronous video chatting and it's been THE BEST EVER for having convos with friends (even group convos) without the pressure of maintaining eye contact and other social rules at the same time

I don't have autism, but dealing with groups is too much. It makes me feel overwhelmed to the point that my face heats up and it gives me a headache.

Yo snow mama🇨🇦 :
I do group events but I generally just talk with 1-2 people at a time. More than that is too much. And when everyone starts talking I get quiet and just people watch, I think that’s okay. And if it isn’t then maybe they should stop inviting me. 😂

! progress! yay! happy for you. ❤️I am 56, and related to this a bit too much. hehe mind, mine has the added bonus of having chronic health issues that have kept me in my home for ... oh. 5 years. so if I can ever escape? I will DEFINITELY need my social butterfly of a husband to cling too!

as a fellow autistic, it so hard reading social cues and reading other people’s feelings without projecting my own and i always feel like everyone is annoyed by me 😔

Fix your argument! The intelligence gap here is pretty huge to the point I have to alter my persona to be able to fit into a lower intelligence agenda. Why would I fix something that isn’t broken? (Aka myself). Have you never stopped to ask yourself if trashing people’s lives just because they don’t believe what you believe would be okay if it was done to you? Can we destroy your things and life you’ve evolved for? Oh wait, you lack evolution. Clearly. I tried my best to put my debate in layman’s terms where even an intelligence gap may understand even the most basic concept. Coercion and force working together in unison usually exemplify a system that cannot be trusted. One that demands immediate anything. Which showcases a lack of comprehension. But if anyone says anything then you try to force us to wait . Because you cannot handle the very mirror being held up to your actions that all it is : darvo and projection. Throw in a little sprinkle sprinkle of blame shifting and diversion tactics and wallah! “They’ll never catch onto our crime organization we are trying to build!”  Like the abused community isn’t well versed in tip toeing around our abusers explosive reactions to not getting their wants and needs met. Go tell your BS to the birds. Read a book. Do something besides playing telephone with gossip and slander hoping someone picks up on the other line and hears your sob story out. I am sending you all away with love, yet you probably have zero idea what that even means. 😭😂🤷🏽‍♀️💕 #yikes #fyp #foryoupage #debate #propaganda
