I find it particularly exciting to give a gift unassociated with a birthday or holiday, but rather just because I happened upon something that brings to mind a person that I care about...I fizz with enjoyment knowing that it will both delight them, and is something they wouldn’t necessarily purchase for themselves.
And, yes, I also fill every available bit of blank space on a card...laughed when you talked about that; yet another “oh, I’m not the only one!” moment...thank you, Orion
If you wake up and I have done your laundry, have cooked your food, and have washed your car, you know that I am madly in love with you :))))
I'd to meet someone like you, 😂😂😂.
@@consuelonavarrohidalgo5334 You might :) just keep in mind - we expect same too :)
I love giving gifts, and getting gifts as well. thank you for addressing it.
My ultimate love language is saving people hassles that are a time or brain drain to them and easy for me. I love lightening loads. 😊
Your love language is acts of service?
I do the same :)
Same.
Same
@@Autism_Forever Yes! Except it's more specific. 😆
At the grand age of 47, struggling with life and never fitting into 'normie world', I got officially diagnosed last Friday. It has been part relief and part mourning for not getting the help/support that I have needed and masking and not being my authentic self for all these years. For some reason I do not want to use the phrase: I am autistic/I have autism - i just do not like it. I am not in denial about the diagnosis, but for some reason just saying that I have it causes me pain.
Anyway - I have been going to town on your channel and it is validating to me and also resonates. Thanks, Orion - sending best wishes from London.
I'm so glad that you finally found out. ❤ I was diagnosed in January; I'm 44. It's been one heck of a journey so far, finding out "who I am" but I do understand what you mean when you say relief and mourning. That's all going to be part of it and that's OK. Allow yourself to just feel how you feel. It's a process. There has, for me anyway, been sort of a mental rolodex of memories, past situations, ect, that I've gone back over and said "Aha! Now that makes more sense!" and from what I gather that's very normal- figuring it out past tense.
It's a lot and learning more about it will bring you more peace the further you go. You'll find yourself- and you'll be able to see your strengths more clearly. I'm just starting to do that too, and I'm sending you all the best for your quest! Love from America. ❤❤
Similar experience. I understand you. ❤
Diagnosed at 54; basically shutdown for weeks as I revisited my entire life viewed through this new lens. Unlike you though, in that I love being able to announce that I am autistic. After a lifetime of being misjudged and misunderstood, I care not one whit what others might think about me being autistic…just so relieved to understand, and finally be able to extend myself grace where before there was tons of self loathing due to thinking of some traits as character flaws (while simultaneously dismissing positive traits and achievement only because I couldn’t overcome the “flaws” through force of will…no matter how hard I tried)
@@SkeletalSculptor THIS!!
Welcome to the other side! Woo hoo! I'm was late dx'd at 34, almost a year ago now. It's a weird emotional and mental journey, but you asked the hard questions and found the answers and you can use those to approach life however you'd like now. Identify however you'd like. It's a great community here. 🫶🏻 And well done! 🎉
Ok Orion, this video is going to accompany me to a little family meeting I’m going to have with my partner and daughter to help them understand where I am in my unmasking journey as a newly self-diagnosed, high- masking autistic woman of 55. Thanks for making this video and giving words to this idea. ❤. Appreciate your work and listen to your podcast on my drive to and from work weekly.
I hope they're just like you
With cards, it’s so funny, I love to stamp and make my own cards. And I write a lot in them. I think I’ve bought a store bought card ONCE! Or I’ll write a letter on a page I colored.
Always prided myself with some one who has to give the best gift... doesnt have to be the most expensive, just one that always evokes the reaction "I cant believe you thought of this" That said, I never realized that was another "trait" I had. Kind of thought it was just my quick
I have love me or leave me attitude and do not bother to mask at all. I have been diagnosed at birth. The only way I adjust behavior is by controlling my natural shrill monotone 140 Db voice because I discovered how much harm it does to noise sensitive people.
140Db shrill would bother most people not just ‘sensitive’ ones. Thank you for making the effort
Me personally there's nothing i would love more than to hug or kiss girls especially ones i love even though i have Autism i have never been the one who wanted to stay away. One of the main reasons was my shyness which prevented me from currently not being a virgin...
That’s not a bad thing! That’s honestly great! There’s a lot of nuance that comes with that and sex can complicate relationships. So just be aware of that! You’ll find your lady!
You should really put chapters on these things.
It's only 5 minutes...
Its a shame people lie
Do you mean how NT randomly lie?
Acts of service here.
I'm not a gift giver, cards or flowers
