Being separate, other, misunderstood, invisible. How can you bear it?
I find contentment in the fact I am different. Different is good. Little things give me joy too. I am lucky I work in a vaguely autistic supportive environment, a school where diversity is celebrated, among the students and by extension, among the staff too, which helps.

I agree, the one thing I feel when I’m watching people interact and go about their robotic lives is see that they are all so alike. This annoys me so much, and I feel angry inside that they are so blinded that they cannot see it either. Being different is a gift, it’s not great sometimes but I honestly wouldn’t change who I am.
