And what do you wish they would stop doing/saying?
I wish they knew that we aren’t all like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. I wish they would stop saying things like “everyone is a little bit autistic” as it effectively (if not intentionally) downplays the struggles we face on a daily basis.
That we're actually worth getting to know. Nearly every NT I've ever met just ignored me as soon as they found out I'm autistic. Really hurtful when you're outcasted like that.
Learn to embrace solitude. Human contact is overrated. Machinery and computers are way better than humans. Maybe dogs and cats can help, I dont know since I never tried.
I like solitude too, but human connection is important for many of us.
