Anyone else feel like shit if they don't retain what they've learned with their special interest?

I get the same feeling like I failed a math exam, like I should’ve known better but didn’t. I know I shouldn’t feel like this, I know nobody cares, but I can’t help it. It makes it hard to just relax and enjoy things.

I don’t even seem to have a special interest. It’s like I’m doing autism wrong.

No, you’re not doing autism wrong. Remember it is a spectrum of symptoms and behaviors. 😀

Autism spectrum can be a weird thing. But don’t worry, you’re not doing anything wrong.
