Fucking hell, some of the company I have kept today makes me think I'm definitely not autistic...

I read the curious incident of the dog in the night-time and it never struck me that I had the same condition. Nothing seemed odd to me about how the protagonist was acting. My friend asked me if I had aspergers and I told her no because I didn't know what that was. I thought everyone thought the same way as me and that being touched stung everyone, so that's why I tolerated it. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 17 but I think the main way to tell if you're autistic is if you have sensory issues and dislike change or wear the same clothes daily/eat the same food.

Now that I think about it it was the same friend who recommended that book to me and stole my 28 Days Later DVD. I was watching that movie every day and made a breakfast consisting of all the food referenced in it.

Ben X, Mary and Max, Submarine 2010 are good movies that depict it accurately.

If you wash the clothes you wear every day are you still autistic?

People who are actually autistic don’t typically spend all their time pointing it out to strangers.
That’s a pretty good sign that you’re not on the spectrum if every third post doesn’t contain some reference to you being autistic.

This. I've been diagnosed and I hate it and am ashamed/embarrassed of it basically, it's not something I'd ever openly admit to people or lead with or anything like that, and I highly dislike talking about it with most people or having people find that out about me.

To be fair females in general wear mental illnesses like merit badges

I think I’m probably kinda autistic but I don’t know how to tell either. When I’m talking to people a lot of times I’m sitting there thinking “eye contact, eye contact, eye contact, ok now look away, look back, nod, mm-hmm, now cross your arms” etc. is that autism?
It doesn’t happen all the time just mostly with strangers and people I don’t give a fuck about usually. This might just be boredom now that I think about it, like I’m so not invested in whatever the fuck they’re saying I just get stuck in my head like this 🤔
But yeah I’d never go to a shrink to find out anyway so I guess it doesn’t matter
