Not relatable. I've never had anyone tell me that they thought I wasn't.
I envy you.
I'm sorry. It might be quite a privileged position indeed. My bad.
No need to apologize. Everyone has their own strengths. I'm fortunate in that I'm the stereotypical, "great with math," type. I'm in the sciences, and lack of social awareness isn't as harshly judged in the sciences as it is in most other domains.
I always wondered why some would choose to identity as Autistic. They seem fine on the outside and don't give off Autistic vibes when around others. I suppose it is more about being true to yourself.
very relatable. especially after my “neurotypical” friends started getting diagnoses. there’s nothing quite as simultaneously affirming and alienating as realizing all your friends are ALSO autismos!
Autistic people naturally come together. I suppose it is due to human nature and the desire to be around people like us.
Hey, at least they think you're hot?
My wife thinks I am!
My personal opinion is that you shouldn't go around telling people you are Autistic. More often than not it is effectively an excuse. It doesn't help you fit in more and it can end up being an excuse to be lazy. Drop your mask if you want but don't tell people it is because you are Autistic.
This is just my personal belief. You are welcome to disagree.
Yeah, I'm on your team. I told my close friends, my manager and close family.
