Got asked by a relative today asking why I don't open up and it's so tough to just say "I'm autistic and I barely expect the majority of people to know my life experiences as is". They have no right to know everything going on in my life in my opinion. #actuallyautistic
@SHODAN Interesting and thanks for provoking some introspection. I've self-exiled from both sides of my family (both parents are dead) and I have contact with one said of the family a couple of times a year and the other side every couple of months, by text. Never considered why before and thinking on it, when my parents were alive I used them as a conduit for giving and receiving updates. I can deal with very limited numbers, but the information I divulge is superficial, colds, trips out, etc. It's enough, and if it isn't it's still all that's going out.
As I said, never really considered it at a conscious level before and no sadness or regrets about the approach either, so I'll be carrying on just the same.
Given that just fell out of my head in pretty short order, I guess my sub-concious had done some pre-processing. I shall ponder on it more in the coming days.
