on one hand i hate this site and the “culture” of it so much but on the other hand no other site lets me amass all my bizarre interests in one place then stream them straight to my skull at a speed that breaks the sound barrier.
I don’t think people realize just how much of so-called “high-functioning autism” is acting. It’s cultivating a neutotypical-friendly persona based on exaggeration of social norms you only partially understand and maintaining that persona under stress while trying to gather information to give context to behavior.
To be an autistic person who “passes” is to behave like a secret agent.
