Hello, I am new here.
I am undiagnosed but have been suggested as probably being on the spectrum by my therapist. So I thought maybe this could be a good place to explore this issue I’ve noticed recently.
I mean stuff like personal appearance? It’s fine, nobody will say anything negative and I know that, but thinking about changing my beard style or removing it all together or I’m a little bored with some of my clothing. But thinking about doing something about it, I just know everyone will have to address it and ask the same questions or make the same comments about it and, I don’t know, like feel mentally exhausted just thinking about it.
Does anyone else experience this? It feels incredibly silly and annoying.
YES I GET THIS SO BAD! I’ve never heard anyone else address it and had no idea if it had anything to do with autism. I hate people pointing out that my appearance has changed unless I’m very close with them.
It’s not even necessarily the closeness it’s just “omg so many people are going to X and I just don’t want to Y so many times…”
