Personal Experience My community knew I had autism the whole time

[lunin7]

Now I understand why I come off as weird to everyone, they know I’m autistic.

The minute I open my mouth they figure out. I’m not even upset, I’m just at peace. because now I’ve figured out that my shortcomings weren’t really my fault but were a result of my autism and the social stigmas that followed.

All the bullying, all the psychological games, all the regrets, were a result of my autism. I somewhat curse my parents cause they never put me into special needs classes after 3rd grade. This whole time people knew I had autism, people even called me slow right to my face and had an insulting tone, how could I not realize?

At this point why even bother pretending to be NT? The gig is up.

You're labelled as autistic by many simply because you differ from what is considered the 'normie' standard. Normies believe that everyone thinks and behaves like them. However, the reality is that this assumption applies to only about 90% of the population.

Agreed, society is neurotypical, it’s a losing game to try and assimilate among them.

At least they recognize it for you, not even for me, possibly people expect me to be neurotypical like everyone else, especially my mother's little self, at least my father does recognize me as atypical, but it is still little.
