resoluteI am in my 50s.
I do not have very strong feelings. I do not identify them well.
I do not identify strong negative emotions in other people well AT ALL. I mistake fear and sadness for anger pretty consistently.
Last night I had some sort of unpleasant emotion, very VERY strongly, enough that it shitsprayed all over my wife and adult son, and I don't know what it was.
My son, who is also autistic, patted my arm consolingly and told me I was "shmad." Sad/Hurt/Mad.
Shmad.
I was shmad.
