Hi fellow auties! I am writing a post on autism and a lack of a sense of self-identity and I’d love to hear about your experiences. My hypothesis is that autistics tend to lack a strong sense of identity partly because we are able to see the details of each personality (including our own) more clearly, and partly because being different in an ableist world has forced us to dissociate.
What do you think?
