    There’s this dude at my job who has a son that has been recently diagnosed with autism and he says he doesn’t know how to handle it properly yet as he has no experience with autism. The other day I caught him changing his shoes mid day because he bought new shoes and said ‘yeah I always do this as I have troubles with getting used to new shoe feels often’

    My friend, I may have some news for you

      The amount of people who are autistic without realizing it is staggeringly high.

      Hell, I didn’t realize I was autistic for years upon years until I started learning about what autism is and realized I ticked most of the boxes lol.

      I realized my dad is autistic like a year ago. I don’t know if anyone else has figured it out.
