My 'timing' has always been outside of expected parameters. A large chunk of my overbearing anxiety is caused by others wanting me to go faster. If I go faster, I trip, make more mistakes, and dont feel good.
Ah, this is a big one for me. Doctors and teachers have this mindset of expecting me to do exactly what I'm told, and few seemed to care about me. No wonder I avoided doctors and finished college out of resignation. I internalized that rigid mindset, treated myself like a slave. I abandoned my interests to please society. I had no idea my experiences were similar to ABA. Thank you for this insight.
I had a similar situation happened to me. I got hired for this company that helps people with disability. I thought it was a dream job for me even though the pay was less it did not matter to me. I was happy. Then tragedy struck for 4 years never had COVID until I worked for the company. I came back and got fired. Their reason was I was not a good fit. No one had a conversation about how I should improve instead they fired me. I was devastated I struggled looking for a job for 4 months. My daughter advised me that I needed to go for a psychological Evaluation which I did. So now my new diagnosis is Autism and ADHD @ 54 on top of being deaf/HOH. Did I know I had Autism not at the time, but as I reflect back I realize oh boy how did I not know?
