Aspie_Rocco

I just saw the notification, were you asking about these ?

ECHOES

Yes,
Missed them in the other thread, thusly the change in title.
Random acts of kindness are very cool...

Aspie_Rocco

It is hard to explain how touching this act of kindness was for me.
I have a habit of over sharing at times so I will try not to, and be somewhat brief.
This has been a difficult year so far for me. Many aspects of my personal and professional life have been... less than... lately.
To be an open book, it was a Really dark time before I saw the thread authored by Kindanewish. The concept of it gave such a lift to my spirits, and seeing all the members posting to support the idea... had a intense impact on me.

If you know any other Aspies in life, you probably already know we are a unique crowd that tends to have extraordinary struggles with ordinary things.
More often than not, I do not "people" well and socializing in the "real world" is a largely unsuccessful endeavor.
I have learned to accept that being "let down" is to be expected a majority of the time and so I no longer seek "friends"
I say that objectively and entirely without self pity. Mayhap a better phrasing would be that I try to place no hope or expectations on interactions with other people.

So when I saw the outpouring of support and kindness it was like a weight had been lifted from my present struggles. It made me feel accepted and liked in a way I very rarely experience in "real life."
It meant and means so much more to me than I can begin to express.
So much for brevity

This community is awesome!
