As someone who's not a native English speaker, I feel isolated and difficult to communicate with English ASD community

Hello, I know this topic might sound kind of weird, but I really want to share the challenges I have faced and hope to raise some awareness about this issue.

Sorry for my poor English If I have made any language mistakes, please forgive me. Also,if you have any questions, please ask me.Don't assume anything negative about me.

As the title says, I find it difficult and isolating to communicate with autistic folks whose language is not my first language(Mandarin Chinese)sometimes due to the language barriers and cultural differences.

I know some people here might suggest that I use translators as a tool, but I want to clarify that Chinese and English work within different systems. Their structures,expressions,and contexts work differently. For example,some words in Chinese cannot be translated directly into English. Additionally,some phrases,idioms,and expressions make no sense to my way of thinking in Chinese.

Sometimes when I want to share my thoughts,many people tend to 'fix' my sentences and the way I express myself rather than focus on the main topic I am discussing. I know you guys are amazing English teachers filled with passion and knowledge.However,this can really overwhelm me.

Also,sometimes when I spoke something unclear due to lack of English abilities or using inaccurate vocabularies, people tend to make really negative assumptions about me, rather than ask me what I am really trying to say. This lead me nearly to the meltdown. Even though I have mentioned that I come from a foreign country with different culture and languages.

The only thing I want is to feel safe and included in the community. If you can, I hope you guys can focus on my topic rather than correcting my English.If you REALLY want to fix the errors, please additionally don't make this the main topic.Getting of the topic can make me exhausted.

Thanks for everyone here who reads this post carefully.Again,I apologize if I have made anything unclear and confused.Please ask me if you have any questions.Hope you guys have a great day!
