Bless you. Well done. Any speech is hard for most people but you overcame any fears to do what am I sure was a great speech to those you love. Stay well and stay safe. And thank you for sharing your story.

A Milestone for you and your Beloved, Oliver! 🙌 I have some Aspie Characteristics and I was "forced" by the circumstances in life to go out of "my shell". It's been an up-and-down journey and I wish others wouldn't have to suffer for being belittled. Keep being Strong & remain United with Vulnerable People! Take it as "kind of a Mission". Be Resourceful to others. Be the Change you want to see made.

I'm an 28 year old autistic guy and I could easily sense his stress and sense the place he was coming from with every single word he spoke, which was from the heart. Even the choice of words and stuff is exactly like how I would have done it too. My attentiveness went straight to his shaking and pacing and I instantly knew what he was going through but he had a loving and supportive upbringing that it counters (positively) the things he goes through on a daily basis to this day!

[@Deeeeeee3]

@@sanjaykarthik6180 as a self diagnosed aspie (working on maybe getting a diagnosis), you can improve on what you personally find difficult eg social situations, our individual difficulties are different. but social development doesn’t just develop naturally at the same pace as everyone else. But yeah our brains are physically less developed in certain areas I think which is why we are not as socially developed as neurotypicals the same age as us. It’s one of the hardest things to live with imo in a society that revolves a lot around social communication but it’s ok. Just my opinion pls don’t take it as science
