I’ve discovered that a common misconception is that people with autism don’t experience emotions, that we are detached. So today I’m talking about autism and emotions, how I experience them and how that might differ from a neurotypical person.
I am building a following over on YouTube and if you enjoy my videos I’d really appreciate it if you subscribed to my channel. Thanks in advance for that.
Interesting video. I do the must find the solution thing. Rumination on the problem and trying to fix it is where I often get stuck and oberwhelmed. I also struggle a bit with identification. As soon as I get negative stuff my first instinct is to push it away and try and move on. I unsure if the way I deal with emotions is an aspie thing or Is neurotypical. I certainly identify with the problem solving part, but I wonder if that’s the human mind condition?
It’d be really great if you could explain how others can support when you’re feeling those strong emotions 🙂
Ok, will keep that in mind for a future video 🙂
That video is really interesting. People in hospital always told me that because of borderline disorder or later when they put a more exact diagnosis because of dissociative identity disorder. That it could come from or two I never fought off.
Like you I can say if An emotion is positive or negative. And I can say it is on a higher level or on a not so higher level. But I can’t differentiate which emotion I am feeling.
Is it a negative emotion I try to put it away and keep on doing what I have to do, what means Sentinel. If it’s a positive emotion I have to take care that doesn’t grow too big. Well can be over whelming and I don’t know how to handle it.
I think it’s can haul cell protection walked most time adjusting a certain level of “high voltage”.
It would be interesting how it’s with non-autistic and healthy people without a psychiatric diagnosis.
