TOPIC: VIDEO CONFERENCE: Why our “Aspies” can’t affirm us

WHEN: Thursday, August 12th, 4pm PT

Register: here.

It is natural for we NTs to affirm each other. We smile, nod our heads, shake hands. We also use words of affirmation easily. Simple greetings like “Hi,” or “Good morning,” are affirmations. But we can reach deeper and offer a firm hug, a knowing look, or kind words that only the other person will understand.

Certainly, our “Aspies” have mastered a modicum of affirmative behavior, but it is lackluster isn’t it? Without Empathy, their comments miss the mark. They might care, but they aren’t caring.

This lack of affirmation hits us like a ton of bricks. We are so wired for giving and receiving affirmation that the lack of it from our ASD loved one is unnerving. Let’s meet to talk about how to protect our hearts from those with EmD-0.
