lrt one of the main reasons i used to say i couldn't be autistic was that i "didn't get bullied". looking back now though i can think of at least 9 people who have tried to bully me, both at school and in the work force, through various social insincerities that i was just too autistic to pick up on. got a lot of mean spirited compliments and asked mocking questions that i just responded to completely earnestly. didn't even notice they were trying to shame me. most of the complimentors got a heartfelt compliment in return and everyone got a big smile. which honestly? kinda ideal. i didn't experience emotional scarring and it's very, very funny to imagine how these people must have felt. they were trying to stab me and i would giggle because it tickled and then pat them gently on the head before continuing on my way

#dan.txt #throwback to the days when i would just completely earnestly tell people i had every overlapping symptom of adhd and autism #but that i was sure it was adhd and not autism bc i 'didn't have social problems' and 'fidget too much to be autistic'#the level of delusion when i said i didn't have social problems..... sometimes i miss her #i do still think i'm living that audhd life and so many of my traits are shared between the two conditions #but i also have more of the autism only traits than i do the adhd only traits which is why it's so funny i realized them backwards
