It’s HARD! Unknowingly being an autistic child & being “corrected” has been damaging for me, definitely:-/

I wish that I at least knew what it was about those people that make me able to be myself. I would put an advert out for more of them 😂 I’m just glad that they exist and that they can unlock real Katie that not everyone sees 💘

And afterwards I feel happy and recharged. I describe it as being alone with someone else. They make me be how I am meant to be.

My barriers instantly drop, I talk about things I love, I share happy/sad/funny stories, my body is loose/relaxed and I can be silly, I don’t flinch when I am touched, I share my interests and involve people.

✨Then there’s the magical few✨
Usually I instantly feel it and I can’t properly describe what it is.

In most social situations I feel like a badly made human-robot or a weirdo (not in a good way).

But…

I do have some friends that I feel like this around but it doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy their company - it’s difficult for me but also worth it! I get a lot from my friends even when I’m masking/trying to mask and I hope they do from me too☺️

So.

If I am at an awkward-looking angle (like a shrimp or hanging off my chair etc), and I am holding onto furniture or I go nonverbal, then it likely means I’m not feeling a deep connection.

It’s good that now I understand myself a bit better. One day I hope to feel confident enough to say “I’m malfunctioning and I need 10 minutes to reset” (😂)

This has made me feel bad & I’ve also believed I am rude, and so have often tried to fight it and just truck on.

Sometimes in social situations I reach a point where it feels like my head is in a vice & I need to break away and be on my own/quiet for a short time to recalibrate. Despite attempting this my whole life, I haven’t understood my need to do it until recently and others have mistaken it as rudeness.

It feels like my real self is in a cage and I only have access to the things I have learned by watching others. I’m conscious of my limbs, my voice, what I am saying, how I look.
