Struggling with Social Perception as an Autistic Person

Yes. Less now than when I was younger (diagnosed later), but when my mask falls, people just get mad sometimes and I am lost for a second until I realize. Then I have to explain that there was no emotion behind my words AND try to calm their emotions down🙄 So much fun. You are not alone.

I usually come of as mean.. i really dont mean to..

Sometimes yes. People who know me understand I’m not being rude. I’ve learned not to care what other people think. (Reasons i smoke cannabis) also it’s worth noting, my bipolar has forced me to learn to filter what i say a bit, which helps.
