Provoked by a dollop of hopeful shame, there are times I still wonder if I’m “on the spectrum”. Then something about human society wallops me right into “Yes. Yes, I really am so bloody autistic.” No matter how consummately I try to emulate, anticipate, script, conscript, or model it… neurotypical human social brouhaha is a game I can never ever really play at, never mind win.
I’m too old to really care to try anymore. So… cheers to us. 🥂
@Shufei@actuallyautistic Since discovering my own #autism, I keep wondering how autistic I actually am. I keep seeing characters on TV or in videogames like Sam from #DeathStranding and feeling like a) they seem more autistic than myself and b) I share some of their traits as well. Until I get officially diagnosed, I’ll just keep asking myself the same questions. 🤔
