I am autistic. He is autistic. I miss that he used
to “get” me the way NTs never do. I miss that I not only lost a boyfriend
but my best friend. I miss cuddles and kisses and holding hands. I
miss him missing me.
I don’t make friends easily and I guess I’m afraid I’ll never
meet anyone as good as him, ever again. I guess I’m scared of all the
“what ifs” in my uncertain future.
I get so anxious when I don't know what is happening and these last weeks have been brutal on my sanity. I am nervous about the future. I am nervous about how so much has changed. I am nervous because I can see my social skills regressing. I am nervous because this is all new and scary to me. I am nervous because I wonder whether I was ready for it in the first place, or whether I will ever be able to be productive and in a healthy relationship. I wonder whether I will ever meet another autistic person who can care about me like he did.
Anyone have any advice? Particularly seeking advice from
autistics (especially autistic adults) who can relate or people who are just good at feelings?
