I thought I was too dumb to socialize because I was always confused. Turns out I was autistic and should have seen it coming.

This could be triggering btw-
So up until now i thought i had a monster living in me because of how id hear certain noises then id scream and cry and throw things and i have to say theres nothing better than knowing im autistic and okay.

That late diagnosis autism feel when people have been questioning your sobriety since age 13
Tudafw when allistic love to say “dance like no one’s watching” but you literally can’t do that because if they saw you stim dancing they would think you were insane. Every time someone reboots that phrase I die a little more.TV
(if this is too triggering for anyone you can delete it)
When your parents think traits that you've always had, but learned to hide to act more """normal""", are fake or you're exaggerating the problems and force you to talk when your having a shutdown because you're ""not THAT autistic"" and you've ""spoken before/were just speaking x minutes ago your fine"". Also that feel when your brother who you THOUGHT was a nice person thinks your *the r-slur* because you watch ASMR and stim videos and flap and ect. (this still happens to me but was happening before too(also the brother in question moved out in case anyone wanted to know))
when your SI is really strange conspiracy theories and unsolved deaths and when you talk about it, people think you're crazy (🐱🐶)
tuafw you deal with being in crowds by wearing a hoodie, having your hands in the big pocket playing with a stim toy and listening to music and people comment on how awkward you are 🐱🐶
Tuafw your special interest is the American Revolutionary War, and you never stop talking about Hamilton because you're just so excited and happy that there's such an amazing musical that's heavily based around your SI, but everyone just calls you annoying and a nerd for it. Seriously, though. I wrote a series of essays on the American Revolutionary War because it made me so happy, but everyone around me just told me that I'm boring/annoying them with it. Sorry, that was long.
