real. can you give an example of what is like in everyday life

“i tend to piss people off because i dont conform to certain social norms, like being polite and s***.“

Everyone is not polite because they are polite people. They make the effort. If you really don’t understand I’m not mad at you, genuinely want you to see

i’m still pretty mediocre in social settings, still got poor eye contact, body language, etc. not as bad as it used to be but still got lots to learn. still gotta break out my fixations though

I think when most people think of autism, we think of more severe cases where people may have no idea they're coming off as rude and don't realize what the expected behavior is in a given situation. You seem to have this understanding and simply choose to not be polite or w/e

idk probably lmao

ya i get mad withdrawn in groups usually and people usually think im weird or an a****** at first.

what are your fixations

well its a spectrum disorder so those extreme cases are not fundamentally different from what i deal with. can i understand that sometimes i do not conform to social norms and it bothers people? yes, but can i simply conform to social norms then and not piss people off? not really, i can try and act "normal" but it just comes off as extremely forced and weird

all the time at home i always walk around my house, unless i’m glued to my computer, idk why i always do that, just been stuck to me. i try just laying down and like a minute later i do the same thing. do it a lot too

I'm pretty normal now but when I was a kid , I used to say things that were "offensive" without second thought. My parents would laugh when I would make remarks about people houses being dirty when we were guests.

sounds like me tbh

Idk but all my friends tell me im autistic af

real af

like 90% sure im on the spectrum but i dont wanna pathologise it im just a weirdo tryna be a normal guy fr

My fam use to think I was when I was younger, never been diagnosed tho.
My friends lil brother is autistic and somewhere in the middle of high functioning and I hang out with him sometimes, I honestly think a lot of people have autistic traits but aren't necesarrily it if that makes sense.

post to username ratio goes f***ing crazy

its a self for-filling prophecy my g.

bone apple teeth bro

i remember my old psych had me tested for autism one time but they just said i got anxiety

If it’s a spectrum then we’re all on there somewhere

Music the goat fixation/special interest

adhd pretty close lmaooo
