Being autistic to me, means having a spiky skills & abilities profile. I can struggle with “simple” or new tasks, doing well with complex tasks, in my areas of expertise. It also means people are constantly over or underestimateing me. #ActuallyAutistic
I’m good with writing, mostly because anxiety drives me to second guess every word I type out.

However, I struggle to keep pace/follow back & forth communication. There is no time for me to compose my words.

I’m great at public speaking, if I have had time to write and memorize my presentation.

I can monologue, on & on. . .

It’s other people’s interruptions that get me off track. “When is it my turn to talk? Now? Now? Now? Oops - I forgot what I waned to say.”
