Therapist Advice Today
The therapist provided this advice today:
- You need to follow-through with others on making to see other people at meetups. Do not assume that you will see the person at the next meetup. You need to put initiative into relationships with others.
- Do not put barriers or assume that people do not want to spend time with you in smaller social settings just because you have autism.
- Try to get people's phone number even though it might seem the uncomfortable task to do. State to people that using IM or text messaging is not the proper method of chatting with somebody because I feel uncomfortable doing it
Knowing me, I probably going to be a stubborn person and not do it out of fear.
All of these things are difficult for me, too. Nice insight you are building!
