You’re absolutely right that we auties have big empathy. The people saying autistic people are “low empathy” made more sense when I found out studies used the term empathy to mean “good at guessing what other people are thinking” rather than what I see as empathy - caring about the wellbeing of people and animals, and feeling sad when others are suffering.

That difference is empathy vs sympathy. It's a pretty common mix up.

There is intellectual empathy and emotional empathy. Intellectual empathy is often found in psychopaths lacking emotional empathy.

C-PTSD is not officially DSM-5 but it's good that it's already officially in ICD-11 since 2022, so in many countries around the world psychiatrists are now obligated to validate our C-PTSD experiences without gaslighting us that this term doesn't exist.

My dr gaslit my autism and only pointed at cptsd. Wasting so much time proving my autism too a therapist that I'm finally scheduled for. No help being in shut down when I can barely feed myself or take care of other stuff. So no access to the help I really need. Yes cptsd is valid, but if I weren't so stubborn I'd be dead 100x since I started going. They just want to drug me, and thats why I have cptsd. Wasted 20mn of my shrink eval quoting his books about cptsd instead of asking me the questions that matter. I hate talking to people in their egos built on others observations insted of knowing what to ask to get to the bottom of things. 54yrs of this. Is there any hope for them? Or me? ❤😢

As someone who is autistic and has CPTSD, I’ve been told a lot of things. “You’re just being a baby. Suck it up. Nobody else behaves or acts like that. You’re just being weak, you’re such a wimp.” I now bottle my feelings up, and if something is causing me sensory overload, I just push the feelings down and tell myself to deal with it, get over it, and that I’m not allowed to feel that way because I have no right to. I’m learning that just because I have intense emotions doesn’t make me a simp. Just because I have flashbacks doesn’t make me a baby.

Grew up being taught that I need to be learn responsibility for myself. Grew up in an ideology of self-sacrifice is the greatest good to be praised (selfless kindness was my greatest source of self-esteem). Realize now that I don't have the ability to do it all myself. Realize that I don't trust myself to the system that ignored my autistic traits when trying to make me continue living. Realize that I can't afford a personal life without the job that saps all my energy. Realize my job is suffering from my having no balance... I don't know what to do.

@didgegirl6 Ай бұрын

I'm so sorry you're feeling this. I was in the same boat until i started practicing taking care of myself first by doing little things for myself that made me happy. Ask yourself what you would really like to do with life and then take small steps toward that while you're working. This is true taking responsibility for yourself - taking good care of yourself, making sure you are safe, feeling out energy that feels better versus putting up with energy that doesn't. At first these will feel like selfish acts and they are but they are good selfish acts. They are acts of self-care and like anything they take practice so be gentle and kind with yourself as you learn new habits. It's not easy work in a world that doesn't support it but it's worth it in the long run. Sending you all my best. You got this!!

When you mentioned the nervous system being on high alert, I have been overwhelmed and when someone touched me in the past I would jump away and the person would say wow, that was an overreaction. I have severe scoliosis as well. I thought that was the cause and it might be related, but it is more than just my curved spine. It is actually my nervous system, not my skeletal or muscle system.

Finding ourselves in relationships with narcissistic and manipulative people? Ding ding ding! That's me! Taylor, thank you for what you said about the intention not to villainize narcissists and to recognize that they are real people who had reasons those characteristics developed. I have certainly fallen into my own trap of painting those in my own relationships in a bad light. I am 46 and I've been in two consecutive long term relationships with BPD women, and was married to a controlling narcissist before that. Thank you so much for researching this, I can't wait to hear what you find!

@MomontheSpectrum Ай бұрын

It's definitely a connection I've been very interested in for a while now. It's very complicated, because one might deeply love and care for a narcissistic person who is loving them back in the only way they know how, albeit imperfectly and even many times in a way that causes harm. People with narcissistic tendencies are human beings as well (obviously) and deserve kindness and empathy, but not at the cost of our own well-being and intuitive inclinations. It can be extremely difficult to start setting boundaries with a narcissist when you may love them and not know what your life looks like without them. And also, they might push back and things can sometimes escalate when you set boundaries and start taking care of yourself. It's a tricky dynamic to navigate, and both sides of the relationship deserve empathy. Thanks for your comment!

@@MomontheSpectrumit’s that pushback from them that is so heartbreaking and disregulating. I kind of can’t stop believing that, if I just manage to fully explain what does and doesn’t work for me, while reassuring him that I see him and I care about him, that he will be able to hear me without twisting my self-advocacy into some story about how I don’t love him. Him accusing me of that isn’t logical though. It’s a trauma response from his brain-damagingly traumatic childhood and adolescence. Knowing that he is on some level stuck there is so so heartbreaking. It’s also heartbreaking to constantly be on the receiving end of his dysfunction, either by caregiving for it or by getting accused of being a cold uncaring selfish person when I make the mistake bringing my needs to the table. It’s so sad. We’re both so sad. I am so grateful to be able to see what’s happening, but I hate that that means I’m the one who has to do something about it. Especially knowing exactly how much it will hurt him l, and the hurtful shit he will sling back at me in response. I don’t feel like I’ll ever have enough energy to face that, but I also don’t have the energy to do this for another 6 years let alone forever. I just feel so stuck. Sorry for the trauma dump.

@@isabelleduniway2943I deeply relate to this comment. My last relationship was a friendship (I guess we will call it that) for about a year and a half and then long distance dating for about 6 months before it imploded. I knew what was happening and I couldn’t sustain being accused of things that are really inconsistent with my character because I do take feedback seriously and I self-reflect. He would find ways for me to doubt myself even when I advocated for me. I don’t want to be in a relationship where I have to advocate for myself, though. It’s exhausting. And I hear you. We can care so deeply and feel so much empathy for our partners but it feels like a one-sided thing to me. Since my previous partners wouldn’t have any accountability hardly. Maybe a little from the last guy. He pretty much spelled it out for me that he is a narcissist. Or maybe a psychopath even. Someone revoke my dating rights. 😅

You mentioned the comparison with an overloaded computer crashing. On of the best ways to describe my ADHD issues to other people is the input filter for a computer. A neurotypical person is able to prioritize all the stimuli that impinge on the senses, keeping the number of stimuli that need to be processed to a very manageable level. But in a neurodiverse person that input filter does not work as it should, and the Central Processing Unit (also known as “The Brain”) gets overloaded and crashes as a result. For example, in a social gathering I hear what the person in front of me says, but I also hear what the person behind me says, what the person to my left says in their group, what the person to my right says to their group conversation. And since my input filter is not working correctly, I have a very hard time paying attention to my conversation with the person in front of me. It is literally physically tiring for me! Social gathering leave me absolutely exhausted and drained! I learned about ADHD about 25 years ago. It was a huge “Eureka” moment for me, and it explained so much of the struggle I had all through my school years. But I also realized very soon, that ADHD still left a lot to be explained. And it has only been in the last few years that I have come to recognize a lot of autistic symptoms. So now in my mid fifties I am pursuing a formal assessment for both ADHD and Autism.

But I am completely allergic to men’s bullshit 😂 but I also have been misunderstood so many times I will see every way I could be misunderstanding someone, and so hyperempathetic that I don’t want to hurt anybody by asserting my needs. But I have had to learn to. I had to learn that just because I can understand where bad behaviour comes from doesn’t mean it’s my job to put up with it. I can wish them well, but wish them well the hell away from me.

Wow. Had an "ah-ha!" moment watching this video. So grateful for all of the videos by the way. Anyway, about the epiphany... I have been exploring internally and subsequently uncovered that I've been subconsciously using different "modes" to navigate life. Kind of like your reference to flexible mode and (forget the other one ... but basically internal thinking mode). Also realizing that I have modes within modes and some modes developed for specific situations ( I have one I've called mission mode even before my diagnosis). The thing that your video triggered for me was that I have never been able to be in a mode in which I can feel my feelings and one in which I can evaluate and name those feelings at the same time (or at least I this feels accurate). Which might be a part of the reason I have such delayed processing of feelings. It's almost as if I have to alternate between feeling then considering what it was then rinse repeat a few times. Most times it takes me over night before I know what I felt the previous day, especially if it was intense. It also made it plain to see how it was so easy for some to de-validate and hijack my intuition from the single digit years. Incidentally, I have found that music does seem to bridge the gap between feelings and understanding them... sometimes... if it's the right music. It's almost as if I were "mind-doubling" using the musician or singer to lead the way mentally for my feelings to find their way toward cognition. ... Or maybe the music is just another stim that helps me think (lol). Its definitely one or the other.

Hey, MotS, your videos are very healing. I learn so much, I cant tell you how priceless are the tools and language you give us. The discussion I find here is safe and easy to dive into/contribute to. This is one of my comfort channels. Your videos are perfect for when I feel like a lonely astronaut. its like your videos are sent to my computer in my little spaceship and Im immediately reminded of my place on earth. Speaking for myself, youve restored a sense of human dignity. I feel at peace with myself for the first time in 32 years. Im sure its not easy running your business and doing what you do, but know that the effort is appreciated and that youve radically changed at least one life. My life has changed for the better since finding your voice out there. Im so much kinder to myself, Ive evicted my Father’s impatient tone from my mind, I have relaxed. Masking is a gentle compromise on my terms instead of a compelled distortion of my being. Im finally enough when I enter a room. I take breaks and excuse myself, I stand up for myself in my family, I voice my limits and preferences. I dont feel guilty for being different. I am joyful. Et alia… No pressure to respond if you see this, (Im serious and literal about the no pressure, some creators burn out trying to do more than hearting the discussions) I just had to express my gratitude.

I have implemented something I created on my own, called the Top of the Hour rule. This has been working very well for me. As an autistic person, who also might be ADHD and OCD, it feels like my mind and body are going in different directions. I'm sure many of you can relate. As you were saying, Taylor, this is why it is so crucial that we check in with our mind and body. With my Top of the Hour rule, I stop what I'm doing at the beginning of each waking hour, give and take a few minutes, and just let my mind and body talk to me. How am I feeling? What sensory needs do I have to meet? Do I have to do something more intellectually stimulating, like a puzzle, or read a few articles? When it feels like there are contradictory forces inside your mind and body, you have to be sure all of your needs are being met throughout the day.

Great topic. This is actually something I've become aware of in myself recently, and that a combination of severe trauma and the struggles of autism in general have left me completely disconnected with my inner self. I realised that, I don't even know who I am. And so I have begun a slow and painful process of discovery. Learning who the true "me" is without masking. Being true to my inner voice, putting my own needs first, and learning to trust that intuition that has been so blunted. It's been quite amazing so far. It's interesting what becomes clear. And how profoundly life changing it be when we finally start hearing what our inner voice has been screaming at us for so long. It hasn't been easy, but totally worth it so far.

I know it was a part of the ad but I also have problems with fake rain sounds and the video by The Relaxing Town "Rain On Window with Thunder Sounds - Rain in Forest at Night - 10 Hours Relaxation and Sleep" has been the only one I could listen to. Otherwise I just have normal KZbinrs playing. Even the other The Relaxing Town videos aren't as good as that one for me if you wanted to try another one.

Don't say you sound old for wanting phone-free/wifi-free/charger-free tech. I am in the digital minimalism subreddit and there are frequently young people posting begging for insight into how to live life if you want to minimize phone/screen usage. This is an all ages issue and we all deserve access to choosing a lifestyle with less phone/wifi requirements if we want it. ❤

Is it possible if like, if its pointed out to you a lot, what your body is doing before you see and understand it's happening to you? And then you feel embarrassed?

I have severe trust issues. Reading the comment below, I would consider myself to be very empathetic. I can feel other's emotions fairly easily . I also attract narcissists. Unfortunately, there are several in my family.

I have felt alien/weird/different my whole life. I was late diagnosed a year ago. I have met other ASD individuals and I thought I would connect more, find my tribe so to speak. Any other ASD individuals feel that way? Still looking for your tribe?

The worst piece of advice I ever got, which still affects how I perceive things 20+ years later, is that when I experience an emotional disconnect, it's my conscience telling me I'm doing something wrong. So, my programmed instinct is to shun things I enjoy when I start feeling depressed and/or anxious. I've even thrown away irreplaceable collections of things that I still miss now.

I am being more electrified by your loquacious pseudo-intellectual rant than being gaslit. You tend to dumb down things down a lot about something that doesn't exist only in the minds of people who are not authentic and in touch with their true emotions. I prefer levels of emotional intelligence, childhood background, life experiences, and using transactional analysis as way of helping people to self improvement. A guide to positive psychological well being is more productive than seeking out less important issues in life..
