'More' Autistic

miaxx

Does anyone else feel 'more' Autistic since realising they are?

I feel like I lean into it a lot more. I'm no longer forcing myself to wear uncomfortable clothes, I barely censor myself like I used to, I go on and on about my special interests. I just feel MORE Autistic? 

Is this common?

  • Lets start with yes.

    I haven't changed but I have realised much more of my day to day behaviour was autism based. 

    I'm doing more of some stuff and less of others but the reality is I am just more aware of what I am doing and I apply my coping mechanisms better.

    I am also making my environment more autism friendly which means I'm more efficient with my masking.
