How Autism Impacts Self Confidence

One of the defining features of autism is difficulty in understanding social cues and norms. Brillia is a non-prescription homeopathic medication to help control anxiety, irritability/hyperactivity and improve focus and attention for children, teens and adults. www.discoverbrillia.com [CODE: ASPIE15 for 15% OFF] For shipments to the UK please email [e-mail] They also offer a money back guarantee.
This challenge can lead to social isolation and hinder the formation of meaningful connections with others. As individuals with autism encounter obstacles in making friends or engaging in social activities, their self-confidence may wane. The feeling of being unable to relate or fit in can create a sense of inadequacy and may contribute to feelings of low self-worth.
Effective communication is an essential aspect of daily life, but for those with autism, it can be a complex endeavor. Difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication can lead to misunderstandings and frustration, both for the individual with autism and those they interact with. These challenges may cause them to doubt their abilities to express themselves adequately, leading to a loss of self-assurance and reluctance to engage in social situations.
Sensory Sensitivities
Sensory sensitivities are common in autism and can manifest as overstimulation from lights, sounds, textures, or other environmental factors. Coping with these sensory challenges can be overwhelming and exhausting, leading to stress and anxiety. Such experiences may make individuals with autism more self-conscious and hesitant to participate in activities that could potentially trigger their sensitivities, further impacting their self-confidence.
Coping with Change and Transition
Individuals with autism often thrive on routine and predictability. Sudden changes or transitions can be unsettling and disorienting, making it challenging for them to adapt to new situations. This difficulty in coping with change may lead to feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability, affecting their self-confidence in handling unfamiliar circumstances.
Negative Stereotypes and Misunderstandings
Despite increased awareness and education about autism, negative stereotypes and misunderstandings persist in society. The perpetuation of these misconceptions can result in discrimination, bullying, or exclusion, causing individuals with autism to doubt their abilities and feel devalued. Over time, these experiences can erode their self-confidence and lead to a reluctance to showcase their unique talents and interests.
Conclusion
Understanding how autism impacts self-confidence is essential in fostering a more inclusive and supportive society. By recognizing the challenges individuals with autism face in social interactions, communication, sensory processing, and adapting to change, we can work towards breaking down barriers and promoting empathy and understanding. Encouraging open conversations, education, and acceptance will enable individuals with autism to embrace their individuality, cultivate their strengths, and build self-confidence. As a community, we can help individuals with autism overcome these challenges, celebrating their unique perspectives and contributions to the world.

true self confidence comes from self esteem (especially for autistic people), false confidence comes from appearing to be somebody which is easier to do for neurotypicals and not so much for autistic people. Even women who camouflage well struggle with self confidence until they embrace self esteem. But in order to have self esteem you need to understand yourself very well. Which is why late diagnosis can be really tricky cos we created our social personnality on false confidence in order to survive (with all the consequences that go with it...). Thanks as always for your great videos!!!

I stopped caring how people see me, and it really does help in making me feel better about myself. I used to suppress my stimming to please others, and now I allow myself to do it

I feel like I lack the confidence to tell my parents about the job I want because I’m worried they’ll say no and I feel the need too add that I do have ADHD and autism.

[@turtleanton6539]

Dont ask. Just do😊

[@eloisepharmacist]

As a Mum of a 16yr old I would like to say that it is your choice and not your parents. Your parents should want you to be happy, and if they don't, then you may need to find some other supportive role models. So follow your heart. However, even if you get pushed down one track, that isn't the end. You will have decades of adulthood to retrain and go in many different directions.

[@zynlove6867]

I know that feeling but sometimes it is so hard to keep things in. Good luck with your new job I believe in you!

[@sawkrandom23]

It's your choice. Don't let anyone take that freedom away from you...

[@aspiemepoetrybanks6819]

Especially if you're not heard in your own family while growing up and what you say gets ignored, I truly had to love myself and didn't realize that I didn't until others who knew me kept saying love who you are, big wakeup call that i needed

[@pinkpinkpink7717]

All forms if autism is an evil condition that should be prevented and treated at all costs. The amount of People saying there shouldn't be a cure is criminal

[@junebug2195]

I’ve shared all your videos with my son/daughter in law, who’s two grown sons both have Aspergers, one autistic and ADHD with seizures since infancy he’s 33 now, very sad. The other is high functioning, is 22 he’s a welder for Volvo, but struggles socially…You have helped me understand a lot, so I’m passing it on. May God richly bless you for caring and sharing 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@Skrata]

youve got to overcome the anxiety of what you think other people are thinking of you. I had that moment when swimming with my shirt off for the first time lol i had worked myself up to it for a while.

[@over50gamer]

I wish the job market and businesses were more forgiving and understanding of this. I've always been mediocre to horrible with job interviews, usually getting lucky to land an entry level job. The last two long-term jobs, i got them either because a family member works there and referred me, or I got in as a temp. Both jobs, I had to really take advantage of opportunities, that I wouldn't see from the outside, to rise through the ranks in order to make something of my situation.

🎩Hi. I had that problem just yesterday. I’ve been wanting to take my flute to the woods to play for ages, and I finally got up the nerve to do it. But when I got there, there were other cars in the car park so I totally bottled it. And then when I was in the woods I just thought what have I done. I get this all the time. It’s a horrible feeling.

[@eloisepharmacist]

I would have loved to have listened to someone playing the flute - although I would be disappointed if you didn't have loads of wildlife sat listening to you.

[@zynlove6867]

It took me a long time but I love me. I am starting to love my mind too. Being nicer to my mind especially. It took being brave at first when I started to want to actually live and try to be my best. I love your channel and relate to most of your content.

Thank you.

[@ArtsyMegz_On_Etsy]

You know what gets me? Is when you go to join a group on Discord, and the group all encourages you to be yourself (and tries to convince you that they experience the world the same way as you do), and so you go and be yourself; and guess what happens? I introduce a new concept that they never heard before, they laugh at it, make fun of it (and make fun of me for identifying with the term), then try to invalidate the term, and after making fun and being rude they go: "Oh we just being silly . . ." (to excuse the rudeness I guess). And you know what happens? I start pulling away, and they start to assume that I am just too sensitive, and then seem more timid about chatting with me; and our whole dynamic that we had going on is ruined. And it feels like I am the one to blame for just not letting people treat me as a punching bag; I don't understand it! And I find that most often, people don't treat each other that way, but they will treat ME that way, and then seem to get caught off-guard, or act like they're the victim when I say anything about it (if I say it too nice and sweet, they don't take me seriously; if I am too cold, they don't want to talk to me (I wasn't being right out blunt about it either)). I don't understand the temptation that people have to disrespect somebody. It's as if they feel like they have to walk on eggshells, just because I am not going to allow them to make fun of my Autism and sexual orientation (demisexual). Why do people feel like they have to walk on eggshells if you tell them not to disrespect you? Is it THAT difficult to just show common sense mannerisms? Do people feel THAT great of an urge to act disrespectfully? If so, why?

[@kimjohns6733]

Because NO ONE cares about your sexuality. No one should even know what you do with whomever. Keep putting your sexuality front and center, and people will keep pulling away. Bedroom habits should be private

[@turtleanton6539]

It be like that😊❤😊

Love you and I get that I keep to myself.

[@rita.amstlv]

Thank you for great content. My self esteem is below zero. The n.t. people in my neighborhood decided years ago that I am rude, crazy and scary, whattt??!!!, scary!!! The NT's are bullying me for years and years. When I get meltdowns because of their bullying, they say that I might be dangerous!! I really wish that the NT's will educate themselves about aspergers. They know absolutely nothing about it!!! The NT's are scary themselves

I'm isolating. Its a bummer too. Cuz I can't strike up a conversation for sht. Especially now that explaining myself seems pointless. I'll be alone on this couch for like three weeks. If someone checks up on me and they haven't been this year. I think they're sick of me.

[@tazyou11]

I think I heard Randy making noise at the end of the video, isn't he sweet. Well, let me say that said it very well about lack of self-confidence for me, but in the end I am OK with myself and who I am, so I am good, thanks.

Does being on the spectrum, and growing up in a family that abides by a high control group, have effects on your self confidence? I wonder which can be which sometimes.
