Feeling like the 'normal' one as an autistic person

Yes definitely! Honestly neurodivergencies seem so much more "normal" compared to neurotypicalness and yet we're considered the "weird" ones and we try to adjust as much as we can to accommodate them but they almost never try to do so for us smh

Yes! They make everything so much more confusing and uncomfortable for no reason!

YES ❤️

i honestly don’t understand how little they think. as a chronic overthinker, im built to consider everything and they genuinely seem shocked when i point out the obvious. we’re built to problem solve alone, theyre built to work as a team to do it. but whats most odd about that is how often they lie to their “team” or friends. the amount of times people have talked behind their friend’s back to me instead of having a real conversation with them is so odd to me.

HAHAHA YES

why do they hug for EVERYTHING. why are there like. unspoken laws of society why r u acting like a cult

I like being weird

I really do wonder how we're seen as weird. Realistically, we're just practical and logical. But some people have a problem with that. Oh well, I guess.

ive always been told im an overthinker by nt peers but im just, thinking about something as a whole rather then only thinking about whats directly in front of me. because of this i can come up with solutions to problems faster AND consider all these possibilities and variables, but I always get told i am overanalyzing and overthinking just because i see more than whats right in front of me

I feel like autistic brains think and communicate more directly. It’s honestly just more efficient and I don’t see why we’re the weird ones bc allistic communication has so many loopholes and unspoken cues when we could all just be direct and communicate so much more efficiently

I didn't realize being ND made me that different, my cousins also have it but they were so much more severe i felt bad for even having the label like i didn't deserve it? Until TikTok and i realized so many behaviors and habits i had i shared, like not understanding NT behaviors. I thought i was just stupid

Yeah, it's so weird being seen as the "weird one" or the "creepy one" when NTs are over here lying like it's second nature, going around with no empathy, it's just so weird. Makes me think I'm the normal one lmao

I think what surprises me the most is how regularly they lie; it's just built into how they communicate. They lie about how they're doing, what they're thinking and feeling, and stuff that doesn't even matter. And I do too when I'm masking, but I hate every minute of it
