Saddened by words
My partner and I had an argument yesterday and it all got a bit heated and things were said. I’m autistic and take things as truth, how do I let go of the things that were said about my autism that I can never change, of all the things that could of been said why did it have to be about something my brain will go over and over.
I feel like it’s totally changed our relationship and I don’t know how to proceed 😭
I’m here. I’m listening to you.
Hugs 🤗
A councilor might be able to help. There’s just not enough information and we really don’t know the relationship dynamics.
by saying that you take things as truth means that you recognize that is Fixed thinking. You have the intellect to challenge what is said and determine if it is true or not.
In my experience so far many autistic characteristics can be managed with varying degrees of success.
personally I have no idea what “can’t be changed” or handled in a way that has less damaging impacts on life.
I wish you the best. We are here if you need to talk.

Thanks for the reply.
im not so good with putting my thoughts into the right words 🤣
basicically he said things about my autism. I can’t change my autistic brain hence why I said I don’t know how this can be fixed.
anyways I’ve had time to process and I don’t have a problem with myself so what does it matter what was said.
yes it hurt at the time. But that time has gone.
thread closed.
