I don't have a home

I never did. When i was a Child i dreamt that my family was not my real family and that my real family died in a fire. They would someday come to get me.

As an adult i taught myself everything, things that my parents and school system never did. I relied on myself to change myself so people would like me and never suspect i might *gasp! * be autistic. I became a sociable person who can mask and mimics everyone's behavior. I felt like i did not have a personality of my own.

At my late 20s i built a personality for myself by myself. I can be alone with myself now and not hate myself. It is a great success for me. No one sees and knows apart from me. I can feel at home now.

Maybe my life does not have any worth for anyone. That i can cook clean and pay bills on my own. That i worked a job and Somehow did not get fired. No one ever said anything good about it. After all it is all expected. My effort means nothing to them.

Now i no longer want to be comforted. I no longer want anyone in my home to share everything i have been through. I don't want anyone to see what i have been through. Because they were too late for everything and i would resent them.

I am my own home

Imam Musa Al-Khazim (as) said:
لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَنْكَى لِإِبْلِيسَ وَ جُنُودِهِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ الْإِخْوَانِ فِي اللَّهِ بَعْضِهِمْ لِبَعْضٍ

Nothing is more hurtful to Iblis [Satan] and his army than brothers in faith visiting each other for the sake of God.

Don't take it from me, take from this person.
 
Prophet Muhammed (as):
He who does not see the bounties of God upon himself other than in his food, drink, and clothes, then his actions fall short and his punishment is near.
 
Thank you for your words of wisdom. I do like my friends and appreciate that they take time to spend with me. But at the same time socializing and masking is exhausting to me, and i have to hide my autism or anything that can make me seem disabled around them. Where i live being disabled or autistic is a taboo
 
Everyone shuns disabled people and my friends are no exception. I don't know any other autistic or disabled people irl and it is very isolating.
 
You can make it. I can make it.


Autists are IMHO Introverts. They need alone-time. ... Don't be afraid to ask your friends for alone-time. They will accept that or else.

Another Imam says:
Our Shias are kind to each other; they recall God when they are alone.
