Joking Aside- does anyone else feel a support thread might be useful?

[Begonne]

I’m still chuckling from the parody thread and kudos to @Dustyyy but did anyone else find some of the comments
resonated a little?

I’m married to a wonderful NT dh but there are times where I feel the loneliness of not being able to connect when I want to talk about my latest hyperfixation, and even though he is the person I love being with more than anyone, I still mask to a certain extent. I think he’d be appalled if he knew everything.

I wasn’t as tuned in to these feelings before I was diagnosed. I was always running in circles trying to do and be better, completely believing my own gaslighting that I just needed to try harder.

@Begonne I personally can’t bear support threads. They make me cringe. If you want to set one up feel free, but please not on this thread! 😀

Oh sorry @Begonne I didn’t see you posted this on a new thread, I thought it was the other thread. I also didn’t know there was a chat board called Neurodiverse Mumsnetters. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Please ignore my last post.

Is this an antidote to the relationships thread?

If so we definitely need a thread when having to deal with people who don't say what they mean, don't mean what they say, waffle a lot and are always reading stuff into simple factual statements and getting the hump.

No issue @Dustyyy I deliberately posted over here in the nice corner !

I’m not a fan of “support” threads that are just for bitching and blaming, with absolutely no interest in problem solving, considering other points of view etc.

Offs.

I need more sleep and a trip.to.specsavers! Took ages to get that!
