I think it would be interesting to share lessons we’ve learned about socializing that didn’t come natural to us like they do for NTs.

  • What social difficulties did you have, and what did you learn to compensate for them?

  • Also, since there’s a difference between autistic and NT cultures, what lessons did you learn about socializing with NTs and in NT environments?

Infodumps are welcomed! 😁

    Learning to really accept myself and to stop judging myself helped me to build some confidence. Which in turn helps to handle (or survive) situations which ask to much from me.

    Learning to listen to myself. If I feel, that I don’t want to do something, I don’t have to. Not now, maybe later, OK?

    I like these two a lot. Congrats!

      Thanks. :)

      The problem was: learning self acceptance started to make sense to me after the first few steps. It didn’t make sense to me at the beginning even though I thought that I get it.
      … if that makes sense.
