Fellow autistics, how do you avoid litigating every social interaction that didn't go as planned in your head over and over and over for hours after the fact? Repeatedly telling myself "you didn't do anything wrong, their reaction was their fault not yours and you were in the right" is not working #autism #actuallyautistic #autistic

We are learning to unmask in order to be ourselves. I understand that the interaction rehash debrief is part of me and make time for it. Often I write out point form notes (which I never read again) to let the interactions be processed and get them resolved and out of my head.

I'm learning to give myself the grace to be myself.
