Does anyone else on the spectrum have issues with dependency? As in they cling to certain people to the point where it’s unhealthy? I’ve done that all my life and I’m wondering if it’s just me or if other people experience it as well. I’m basically just looking for answers to personal problems.

For me, I clung to other people because I didn’t feel safe by myself. The world was INCREDIBLY overwhelming and scary and I would cry every day up until I found my first friend, who I then clung to as if my life depended on it. (When I was separated, I was a wreck) This pattern has continued up until now, which is when things finally started calming down for me and I can finally think for myself.

I used to.

Getting over it was very, very important to my ability to be around people without causing serious problems.
