Understanding people and interpersonal communication skills are of my biggest challenges I deal with on a regular basis. Finding ways to connect with others is difficult for me andI've often to tried explaining it people by describing it as if someone has taken a wide variety of different jigsaw puzzles of different sizes, shapes, images, etc. and mixed them all together. Then randomly handing me a pile of the pieces and expecting me to figure how they all fit together in a way that’s sense.
I have found that if I can find patterns it helps to ease the chaos of life, especially when I'm feeling overstimulated or anxious. One of the things I'm thankful for is that I've been able to find a few people who accept me for who I am and as a result I've been able to build connections with them. I've even been fortunate enough to make a few friends over the years and while I may always struggle with understanding social boundaries still thankful for the connections I've been able to build with people who are helping me learn how to navigate through life a little easier.
