Hey Aiyanna

Good idea. It actually improved my concentration to turn off the internet on my phone and put it away in a drawer. Then there was a new practise of taking a walk for a few minutes a day outside without the phone with me. It felt a bit uncomfortable at first but then it felt rather nice to enjoy my surroundings for a change. But I still love my phone 😛

Facebook has been off for almost 2 months, had to reinstall whatsapp to avoid actual inconvienience. Fb had just turned into a useless activity – realised I was calling people more and texting less as a result of deactivating things. Rather glad about this cuz phone calls with most people make me nervous.

Thanks for reading and good luck to you.

Regards
Nina

Hi! It’s always fun to run across a fellow Asperger’s person! Asperger’s means I have a hard time trying to make what I see fit with what other’s WANT me to see. I didn’t always know how much autism can make it easy for con artists and abusers to manipulate me. I’ve had to learn some HARD lessons. I’d like to recommend to you the book “Aspergirls” by Rudy Simone. This book is an amazing reference to consider any time you are autistic and questioning where to go next with your life. You have an exceptional gift that will attract people to you in time (Asperger people tend to bloom a little later than neurotypicals). Twenty-three is still a few years before your “prime”. But once you get a few years older, it will be surprising how quickly your world will change. Hold off on any permanent decisions about your fate. Asperger’s means you get to take your time and step forth with a unique mind that people will find youthful and attractive for your entire life.

Thanks for the book recommendation! I hadn’t heard of it before. I sure could have used something like that twenty years ago. But it’s never too late for good information.
