You forgot one, the one who starts treating you like a child

i'm person 3 but only because i'm autistic too and i swear every one of my friends has eventually told me they're autistic too 💀 i'm like a magnet

[Delulubooklover]

"I'm autistic"
"Hey me too. Whats a special interest of yours??"

Told a nurse I was autistic the other day, she looked me up and down and walked away.
She also told me that my problem was easily fixed with surgery and I should just 'get it done'. It isn't deadly, I just get tonsillitis every year. Very rude nurse.

Okay but the funny thing is some of our relatives may have used the fact that we were "artistic" to explain all of our "quirky" behaviors, and they had no clue that they were only one letter off.

Lol my coworker was talking about how him and someone we work were talking about how I'm always correcting people on little shit they say and I was just like "yep that's the tism" and he was like "thats fucked you can't just say that" "why?" "You don't have autism" "I've said it several times" "I thought you were joking" I've been the undercover autist there for almost a year and everyone just thinks I'm an asshole, big ups.

People who have known me for years: That makes so much sense.
Strangers: You seem so normal.

Hahaha, I fooled them all.


Im so tired.

Honestly, if someone were to call me a lying piece of shit after I informed them I'm autistic, I would immediately break out into tears.
Like, it's caused a lot of issues in my life, arguably every single significant one that has come up, do you think I would continue to act like this if I could just stop doing it?
Do you think I want to continue to act like this and cause these problems in my life?
Of course, after I start crying, I would get mean and purposely mock them for something they can't help just because I know it would hurt my feelings, so it'll hurt their feelings.
I'm all about treating people the way I'm treated.

Do you have mild autism or ✨spicy✨ autism?

[finches.on.a.wire..]

Honestly, I'm person 3 only because I'm autistic as well and my special interest is psychology/medicine. I've been studying it for 8 years, so when it comes to meeting people and being friends with them, it's very easy to tell what mental disorders they may have before they even know it.

Sometimes I'll tell them if I pick up that it's getting worse in terms of affecting their daily life, but most of the time I just wait until they get a hint about it and want to communicate with their parents or a counselor. Then I help them through that process because I know it can be scary.

I have a friend group of a bout 10 people. All but 1 are autistic, that includes me. We're like stand users, we just attract eachother

[tomatogoose]

I’m not officially diagnosed, but there’s no way I’m not autistic. Every single time I see someone online talking about their experiences with autism, I’m like “well that’s extremely relatable”

[StormscapeX]

One time I said the ‘cool’ to somebody but they were mad and now I’m confused (I’m autistic too)😭😭

[WolfPack-bhes]

Always with the cousins man every dam time

[Lavarose]

One of my friends asked if I identify as autistic or if I'm just on the spectrum and I just stood there

[ghostnoodle]

"No you just don't want to work"

NANA I WAS WORKING 100 HOURS A WEEK

If person 3 is also autistic then vibe

[Ivy-ships]

I’m neurodivergent (adhd) and I’m person 3 I’ve got multiple neurodivergent friends who are completely different and after a while it gets pretty easy to tell if someone’s neurotypical or not

[adish]

As a person who looks autistic to about every neurologist I ever was to for unrelated issues... The regular people really don't know what does or doesn't look autistic. And I am someone who doesn't mask, I'd say at all.

I have done person three but more because im autistic and noticed they had similar struggles. They ended up being autistic. So i personally think that one is absolutely no problem. My autiwtic friend told me that they arent surprised im autistic. Sooo i feel like its not rude at all.

However there are people that can make it sound rude and condescending. But they will word it differently
