Thanks for your comment. In my case, my feelings are deep and complex. They are often impossible to articulate (like most of my thoughts) and my body language can't be parsed by typical people. I'm 60 and it has taken me a lifetime to get a handle on them. I use some maths that I have been cooking up since the early 80's. Today my work would be called Computational Model Theory. It helps me understand my cognition, but feelings are a tough nut to crack. I just trust that GOD knows what He was doing when He designed me.
I am half your age, but this comment resonates with me. Often my wife tells me my feelings long before I ever would have figured them out. She's everything to me. I think I would be in a dark place without her. Most of the time, she notices that I am stressed out and anxious. Then I think about it and come to the conclusion that she's indeed correct.
God had a blast sprinkling me with the 'tism. Something good is always just ahead and I am trying to reach it.
I am an astrophysicist because early on one of my autistic foci became black holes (excuse me, holes of color) and I was autistically compelled to get a PhD so I could sit alone in my office and think about them all the time.
Thanks for posting. My kid is autistic and I have found it hard as a parent b/c it can be so difficult to discern what they are thinking sometimes. But my kid is wicked smart, hopefully they can find something they are passionate about to pursue when theyre older like you did.
I have the 'tism and I have many feelings. I do not understand them all that well, but I have them nonetheless.
