Autistic overloads
Autistics are often misunderstood. That can lead to verbal abuse and meltdown.
Most of the time, we just want to be heard. Listening without judgement takes time and effort though it abates conflict.
I suffer for others and I am misunderstood for that.
People think I want to be always in control.
It’s my way of prioritizing, I am confident with it.
I don’t like acting on instinct, if I know that I can do something on a better time, I opt to postpone.
People would get mad at me.
In turn, I get mad.
I want to be left alone when panicking.
People would scold at me more instead, thinking to help.
We want to protect you!
Don’t counterattack and we ll cool in few minutes!
We understand when people are distressed.
That will only add insult, resulting in rocking, mourning and undue sedation.
Respect Autistic Boundaries.
Our boundaries are different.
In fact, I wouldn’t talk of boundaries but triggers.
I’m an extremely calm, patient, sociable, altruistic person.
Only a handful of triggers can cause me to dissociate, like impulsiveness, lack of planning, change in routine still, I can adjust in due time and understanding.
