Quote from LowBattery Mode on December 31, 2025, 7:46 pmSocial interaction is challenging for me as an autistic adult. I often misread others’ expressions and take things literally, which can make conversations stressful. Loud or crowded environments can be overwhelming. With support and understanding from friends and family, I’ve learned strategies to communicate better, like asking for clarification or taking breaks when needed.
