For future reference (to everyone) I don’t mind answering any questions - I’m not a brilliant wordsmith though


Apparently I’m one of the lucky ones in that even though I suffer ( in many ways ) due to autism.. I am AWARE that I’m different and able to learn / develop strategies to help me cope and even appear to be somewhat normal .

So I can blend into everyday life / work / meetings/ gatherings / parties and nobody would guess how traumatic each and every day can be ..

Many autistics are trapped ( to varying degrees obviously) in their own little worlds.
