Munchies:
I'm 100% on the spectrum. Although, most people seem shocked when I tell them that.
Glitter Jelly:
Same here. But that only tells you how little people know about autism.
Munchies:
No, that's not why. It used to be super obvious to tell. However, I got a lot better at functioning. The only time I get clocked nowadays is if I get overstimulated in public.
Besides, if you meet one autistic person, you've met one autistic person.
Glitter Jelly:
That's always what I tell people.
Laser:
Masking and mimicry, I use both heavily. But definitely I have slip-ups, and can be very antisocial, downright despise human interactions due to becoming over stimulated.
That's a mood.
I'm an extroverted autistic person. So while I love socializing, when I've hit my limit, I've hit my limit.
Don't talk to me. Don't touch me. As far as you're concerned, I don't exist.
Then I'll spend a few hours alone in a dark room blaring music in my earbuds. But only the overstimulation approved tunes in the correct out.
If you know, you know.
