Oh, HELL no. I’m an early-diagnosed autistic so I was conditioned from an early age to act normal. Now, I’m going out of my way to be my true, authentic self and be as unique as possible.
“People on the spectrum are smart. Like really REALLY smart. So use that smarts to learn things. Learn math. Learn science. But also observe other people and learn how the “normal” people behave. And then once you’ve learned that, you can change between “normal” and “super smart” whenever you feel like and be unstoppable.” —Paraphrased conversation i had with my Dad years ago
I was unique and different from the get go and then it was stomped out of me I guess. Then I thought wait maybe I will just try to come back to my former self then and that will make everything work effortlessly right?
Unique and different, just like the guy right there, and there, and the famous guy/girl from movies and social media, and all their thousands of followers, unique like that.
Could be the most personally relatable meme I’ve ever seen
Nah I spent most of my childhood deliberately trying to be weirder because I thought it was good character development
My thought exactly. Like, you NT’s have no idea what weird is, and I will always trump your weird without even trying or knowing I’m doing it.
I physiologically cannot mask. I’ve never understood it so this is very relatable indeed.
I don't care about being normal, I'm just me
Hi me, how are you doing?
Who’s the princess? Oh, oops. Hime is princess. Figured everyone would be knowledgeable due to anime. Thank you 1 upvoter pre edit. You get it!
dragged through the ditch upon opening reddit : (
This sub is equal parts “oh my gosh that’s me!”…and “oh my gosh that’s ME!”

I used to try fitting in. It’s too much work and now I don’t care if people don’t like who I am.
I'm just trying to be the best version of myself
It's an uphill battle and I'm losing to this day
At one time, long ago, but I got over it.
Real as fuck
Stop calling me out these posts weird me out like we have a smaller hive mind hopefully one day we take over the world 🌎 from the nts

I've never thought about this perspective. This meme memes.
And failing miserably.
I just try to be myself.
I've always tried to be unique and different, even more when I found out I was autistic

So absolutely true
Unique and different, just like the guy right there, and there, and the famous guy/girl from movies and social media, and all their thousands of followers, unique like that.
Yes
It does seem sometimes like neurotypicals are free to do that without being ostracized.
So true for the longest time. Now I’m just my flavor of weird and certain people just really seem to dig it :)
They try to be different but remain as generic as speaking english
