Alone, Not Lonely.

In Buddhism and Autism there is a significant difference between being alone and being lonely. Often Neurotypicals and Western Culture have a negative view of being alone and equate it with being lonely. For many Neurotypicals the idea of being alone and/or lonely is a condition that they desperately want to avoid, whereas for Buddhists and (some) Autistics, it is a highly respected condition, signifying an achievement and a life preference.

Not be overly invested in the outcomes of whether your ideas are taken up, u’re not alone when there’s so much life going in nature. Great reminders!

I can't tell how much this means to me . I'm on the spectrum , as they say , and have had all of these circumstances happen at one time or another. I'm grateful for this and it was extremely helpful ! 👍🏻🙏🏻

Thank you. That was exactly what I needed to hear today.

Very helpful perspective. Made me reframe me thoughts that I’m currently stuck in. I could do more of this. 💖✨

Joe.. They say when the student is ready, the teacher appears. I loved this talk so much. I'm busy doing a long course on meditation right now on IT but throughout these days I am going to begin consuming your beautiful words into my soul. I really really needed to hear this today. Thank you so much.
