I don't like people saying my name

[ofwarren]

Anyone else have this weird issue?

When people are talking to me and they say my name, I cringe so much its painful. I really hate hearing it. It doesn't matter if they use my actual name or a nickname, I just can't stand my name being used to address me and I don't know why.

I also struggle using other people's name to address them and inwardly cringe if I have to say it. I'm okay with my kids names though.

I googled it and lots of autistic people say the same.
I wonder what it is?

Yes, I have this. Although it's different to cringe, I feel removed from the name, like it is not me (it's not really, a name is just a label bestowed by someone else)
