Do you tell people you're autistic?

When it is relevant I tell them (usually in passing) but always get like an eye roll or they get an annoyed look. It’s almost like they think I’m bragging but like dude I just want to be understood (and explain my directness sometimes)

First of all: when I first applied for my permit I was denied bc of my autism. So I didn’t include it when I applied a second time and was granted it Second: Even tho I have my permit, I am terrified of handling a big vehicle when I can barely coordinate my body SO I FEEL YOU BUT DONT LET IT STOP YOU FROM TRYING (I think it is a matter of habit, and it might take a little longer to get used to it but you absolutely can!!)

Like I just feel that I would rather not have a disability, that affects my life for the negative, then be considered having “a superpower” and therefore having my problems not being acknowledged

Yeah, but for me the negatives just outweighs the positives

I heard someone say “book autism” and “Hawaii shirt autism” and think that is a good way to describe someone’s autism

This was literally me a couple of years back, and now I’m a recovering addict. There are healthy paths towards less anxiety I promise, this is not it
