I have had so many communication issues, and being that I spent most of my life as an entrepreneur, this whole "don't speak to the boss like an equal" is just another in the long line of social faux pas that I make because I don't understand the unspoken language of the allistic world. And this cost me my job. This is apparently EXTREMELY COMMON for autistic and neurodivergent people. The video I'm referring to that I watched: https://www.tiktok.com/@csmijango/video/7037149653892222255 And here's the video where I talk more about the "hierarchy thing": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2zW3S5M3ro If you like this video please like and subscribe, thank you for your support!! #autism #adhd #audhd #neurospicy #neurodivergent #socialanxiety

    Oh, and there’s no shame in telling your therapist self-hating internal monologue that self awareness does not equal the ability to solve or develop coping strategies. Often, being able to identify and fluently discuss how you feel about something does not come with an ability to identify how you can overcome/avoid that problem or successfully manage your feelings about it.

    edited for my own self, need to come back and smack this against my forehead occasionally

    Thank you for putting this so succinctly.
