Lately I've felt like I don't fit. Like I don't struggle enough to be considered autistic. I do struggle, of course. I probably struggle more than neurotypicals do. And I know that being autistic isn't only about struggling. But sometimes it feels like I am faking it. Like it's just another mask that I put on. These sentences are so hard to write. It's like trying to catch a specific snowflake in the blizzard that is my brain. So I'll just stop here. Have you ever felt this way?
Yep, I feel this way most of the time, it's part of reason I started the high functioning thread. I don't feel as though I fit with what many percieve as autistic, but I definately don't fit with NT's. It's a very confusing and isolating place to be and why I prefer the company of plants and animals to humans.
