I have ASD
I have huge problems with many situations and after fighting against it for years trying to change myself (and making myself ill) I decided I would just say that I can’t do certain things
Dh is brilliant and takes over if I can’t cope. Never makes me feel bad
Understands sometimes I just can’t do something and it’s not a big issue
Other family members (especially dm) think if I’m forced then I’ll ‘get used to it and get better’
This has resulted in meltdowns and I’ve had some really reallyawful experiences
AIBU to think that if someone has ASD and manages to explain before things get too bad you listen to them and don’t push them 😔 I’m really feeling like I can’t trust these people
