interpersonal vent /4
Also, this is another instance of my own ongoing saga of not completely grokking how an autistic person thinks.
I try to be patient, listen, and be supportive, but it's really hard for me to step into their perspective. I always feel a bit frustrated because it's like I can't really connect to them. Or at least I don't *feel* like I'm connecting, because I'm not getting the signals I expect.
I always feel like I'm not trying hard enough or something.
