Living With Autism: Connecting With My Emotions
In this video I talk about connecting with my emotions. I have always had emotions, but they have been very mild in how I feel them, and I have had very limited range of emotions. Now I am approaching 40 I have definitely progressed emotionally, especially due to being in a loving relationship for a long period of time. I am generally glad about having more emotional range, although I still struggle to understand others emotions if they are subtle or if the person is trying to minimise the emotion they are experiencing. The downside is I am far less calm nowadays, life seemed more simple when I lived in my own emotionless world. I was mainly calm and relaxed, and I could avoid situations which made me feel too anxious, and although there were situations I felt anxious in I never felt angry, whereas now I experience anger - mainly at myself - I don't like this development, but as people tell me 'you can't have just the good emotions, they all come as a package'. I used to do what I could to avoid situations which made me anxious, and my main 'emotion' was feeling calm as I would live inside my own mind.
