I get the same feeling like I failed a math exam, like I should’ve known better but didn’t. I know I shouldn’t feel like this, I know nobody cares, but I can’t help it. It makes it hard to just relax and enjoy things.
I don’t even seem to have a special interest. It’s like I’m doing autism wrong.
No, you’re not doing autism wrong. Remember it is a spectrum of symptoms and behaviors. 😀
Autism spectrum can be a weird thing. But don’t worry, you’re not doing anything wrong.
For sure! I have a very poor memory so not matter how much I try, a lot of what I learn never sticks. But I do keep a book full of everything I’ve done interesting about my interest (animals) and I really love that book. I can find the pages I’ve written on a specific animal and learn it all over again.
It still makes me feel bad whenever people put me on the spot because I feel like I /should/ know. But whatever, this interests is about making me happy not other people. Just enjoy yourself!
