Who else has or does Copy other people

NAS76713

I have copied people so I look more mainstream. 
The first time is when I was 7 years old. I couldn't read or write, so I watched how other children read all the books. Before long I had memorised all of the books.

when the girls played skipping or the clapping games I was not coordinated enough.

the girls didn’t include me in play they used to say, “don’t ask her she can’t skip, she’s know good at playing”. So I played on my own I felt more comfortable that way.

There have been many times I’ve copied others.

  • Copying others is automatic really, can be out of a need to learn but also fear of not fitting in.

    ND people can find it hard to copy NT people and fit-in and struggle with who they are, but others are happy and confident with who they are and no need or desire to be more NT.   Many ND people tend to be diverse in other ways because they aren't held-back by having to be a certain way, personal freedom.  It can be brave, but its liberating and good for your brain to be who you really are or want to be.
