Many of us with autism have grown up in an environment of invalidation. We have questions and thoughts we want to convey and most neurotypicals are reading from an entirely different playbook. In adult life, we still want to be heard, we want to be understood and yes, there is anxiety when talking. We know when people are uninterested in what we have to say and we still try to get a point across even when we're not well received. In all fairness, what fascinates me is of little interest to most neurotypicals and most neurotypicals bore me to tears.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I completely understand where you're coming from. It can be incredibly frustrating to feel unheard and misunderstood, especially when your interests and perspectives differ from those around you. It takes courage to keep trying to connect with others, even when it's difficult.
