Hi, I just joined this forum :)
How are you all?

I’m pretty sure I’m an Aspie with Pathological Demand Avoidance.
Trying to connect with others on the spectrum and finding ways to cope and how to safely unmask.
 
Hi, welcome, I hope that you enjoy it here. There are plenty of threads that may be of interest, and people here are friendly.

Welcome to AF !

Definitely the place to explore one's autism, whether suspected or formally diagnosed.
 
l read a little on Pathological Demand Avoidance; very interesting. I could relate to people not wanting to deal with the phone interaction symptom. Undestand that anxiety seems to play a big part in this?
 
Thank you for all the sweet replies! :)

@Aspychata Oh yes, I hate calling people, especially strangers for stuff like a doctor’s appointment.
I’m so awkward every time and I tend to forget everything I wanted to say and what they said.

Yeah, I also have anxiety issues and motivation issues due to my depression, but I also lack focus (psychologists said I have ADHD or ADD when I was a kid) and all the combined problems cause some sort of executive disfunction.
The easiest things are a real struggle to me :(
 
I think it's great you are at this site. Alot of life stories here and we seem to struggle but you will find support here!

My issue is l am not a social animal and people do not respect that. l really like hanging around, just simple stuff, meeting people is something l choose not to do much of.

I remember having high tea? Like in place of dinner, then a very late dinner? That was nice. I went Harrods in London. And I saw the palace!
