Feeling self conscious about my Autism

Hello Kitsune,

I just tend to get through the day, like you, in my own quiet way. However it can sometimes be disrupted by those I am living with, namely my parents.

Remember, you are NOT weird. Your Autism simply makes you do things differently to others.

Hi CaliforniaDreamer95 mostly I’m lucky in that most of my friends are either Autistic, probably Autistic or Autistic friendly NTs. So I can usually go about my life without feeling too self conscious about how I am. But sometimes a combination of circumstances makes me feel all socially awkward and weird!

Thanks! ‘Autistic not Weird’ right? I need a t-shirt saying exactly that

I have a variety of T shirts that say, ‘Kiss My Aspergers’. Perhaps if you wear one of these you may find that parents will offer to help with your scouting duties.

Yes, I can certainly understand and empathise with your first point. It also connects to your second point.

I can remember being told, ‘I’m not really interested in 11th and 12th century Andalusian poetry, I was hoping you were going to ask me out.’ This after a month of discussing Ibn ‘Arabi and his contemporaries. Funny lot NTs.
