Hello all,
I hope that all of you are doing well. I wanted your advice because sometimes I feel lonely as an autistic person. It feels like nobody truly understands you or how you function even if you try to explain. Sometimes people don't even bother to listen which is even worse. And you see all over social media that we are just 'stupid' and people online being like 'that one autistic kid in my school', and do not get me started on the advocacy of applied behavioural therapy and people just trying to 'take the autism out of us' which definitely doesn't help either. I have noticed a pattern: when you are perceived as 'not fitting in' or 'different', no one truly gives you the chance to be 'normal'. I would really appreciate any advice about how to cope with it.
Thank you so much for reading and am looking forward to any responses!
