It can be hard for me to make eye contact & stuff, but as I continue to grow so will my social experience. If I tell anyone I have autism now, they have absolutely no idea.
I can try to answer any questions people have  |
I'm sure you are just shy/nervous around new people. Do you not look your friends and family in the eye? Or do you avoid that?
Again, I think we are just over-reacting here. We like to put labels on people. It's like one of those placeabo pills I've learned in Psychology. You give someone a "fake" drug and say it's going to cure something and really it all comes down to "your brain" and nothing else. You think it's going to cure whatever your taking the pill for so you have higher hopes. But they don't tell you that.
All in all, we have a lot to learn from our brains. Take a Psychology class. I actually loved it and got an A in it.
Read about the Placabo pill and how it works with patients. In the end, it's all about how our brains work. If you just sit here and agree with what people label you as, you will of course fall into it. People say I have this disease, but I shake my head in disgust.
I am just SHY around new people and don't know what to say. But I can make eye contact and actually talk to them when I greet them. I hope this helps
