Alone and Autistic
They say that autistic people like to be alone, they can't feel empathy and they shouldn't drive. For me that's not all true, because for me I do like when I have space but I don't like to be or feel alone, I feel empathy a lot of it but for that to happen I need to be able to understand someone before that happens which can sometimes take a while and lastly I have a driver's license and I'm a safe driver which is something that seems annoying to people who drive aggressive sometimes which they think I can't do but I can but choose not to. Yet I'm the one that gets screamed at and frustrated with because I am not like everyone and because of that I am harassed and bullied by classmates, coworkers, and random strangers who don't understand me, even other autistic people. I feel like I have no one and it's been taking a toll on me and I keep on asking myself when will it end it seems like it never will.

Im sorry to hear feeling alone. It must be hard to go through. It was brave of you to make this post and express how you are feeling. Reaching out is a step in the right. Take care :)
