    I didn’t find out that this was caused by being autistic for most of my life so I spend the first 20 odd years of my life going completely batshit insane. It’s quite a unique hell experiencing that and having no idea what’s wrong.

    I did everything right and they indicted me.

      So fucking true - I never understood why people wouldn’t say what they were thinking, or why they assumed I was lying or being sarcastic or doublespeaking. I would catch so much shit over it at school or from family and when I got a diagnosis mid-20s I tried to talk about my experience of this with family. Best I could get from them was “well that’s just how things are/that’s just how I am” in response so 🤷

      Just glad a bunch of my friends were/are ND as well and could actually relate & communicate
