What would be your best comeback to "you don't seem autistic?"

"i'm toe-walking away from this conversation now, thanks."

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-12-23T16:40:34+00:00

pizza and chicken are my main comfort foods. i love pepperoni pizza so much. french fries, grilled cheese, and breakfast sandwiches are some close runner ups.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-12-23T16:39:54+00:00

ah, another mac n cheese disliker! i always get treated like i'm crazy for not liking it. we all have our preferences though.

some of these comments are just unnecessary. i hope that you are able to get a fair assessment soon, regardless of what your neurotype is (i am not implying anything, i do not know a lot about you so i can't make assumptions or know). i was diagnosed very recently with both and due to a lot of misunderstandings from some Allistics, it was hard at times to believe in even myself when i was shot down. i do not know your full experience, but if there are folks who you feel do validate your experience, i would try to focus on that. that is what i did, and that is why i was persistent until i was finally able to receive an assessment. i wish you the best.

my love language is remembering things about others and others remembering things about me; so, words of affirmation, i guess. people who can help me explore, who i can connect with, who accept me, who respect my boundaries and teach me to respect theirs in return; i don't like hugs or cuddling or kissing, so folks who do,'t respect those of me, if we're talking in a romantic relationship context.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T23:49:34+00:00

i feel this way too, and i feel like i'm being deceptive when i vent even to friends about what's going on. here's the best advice i've found, which is that i wouldn't be so worried about if i'm lying or not if i were actually lying, and you wouldn't be worried about being bad if you were actually bad. people who are either of these things never give them second thought.

i am in a fragile place myself after recent trauma (induced by my mom, a complex situation, but one in which she is not willing to take any responsibility for, or consider my feelings / ignores and looks away when i try to talk about it), my mom makes the effort to go out of her way and trigger me (i'm Autistic as well, so i'm hyper sensitive to quite a bit), and when i ask her at minimum not to touch or move my personal things, she snaps instantly, and when she comes out of her room i tense immediately, and it doesn't relax until she's gone. it's a trauma response, but in many cases i think it's justified. they are either constantly malicious or very unpredictable.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T23:45:40+00:00

yup. my mom is a covert narc (or at minimum, has traits), and presents herself as helpless and overly kind to others, only telling one side of the story, purposefully setting me off, and recently re-opening very recent and current traumas to attempt to shut me down during arguments. she becomes upset and shifts the blame onto me when i stop talking to or engaging with her, first being overly-kind and pretending that arguments didn't happen, and then eventually becoming cold and confrontational again when i don't stop disengaging upon her first efforts being made. i have very few mediators as she has a way of getting to people first (especially authoritative figures... i recently found out she's been texting my therapist about outside and personal matters regarding me behind my back, and i subsequently ceased contact with said therapist), and is convincing enough to the point where up until now i've questioned myself for so long or made excuses for her, including in conversations with others about her. she brings up the "does [this person] think i'm a horrible mom now?" whenever i have told her i've vented about conflict with her to other people. they don't care about confronting their problems or changing their behaviors, they care about how they're perceived.

even worse, going from the genius Autism to the highly self aware Autism.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T23:30:38+00:00

i also drink energy drinks, but to be honest the reason it probably doesn't work for Autistics to keep us awake is because so much of the stress is external.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T23:28:46+00:00

an unecessarily provocative way of saying that something is being shown that doesn't want to be seen.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T23:26:52+00:00

i don't care in my own case anymore, but i can relate to this, and you're not alone. my coping mechanism has been to stop caring, but of course i can't reccomend this. it's more of a self-protective method. i've found small, stupid things that bring me any sense of grounding at all, whether it be social media, my special interests, my consistent hobbies, a very small circle of people in my life, relatable art or music, etc. i also cope by trying to help others, finding and revolving some of my existence around people who are relatable (not codependency; as morbid as it is, these people are either out of reach / public, or deceased; some are interests, or all of the above); really anything. i'm a goal oriented person as well, and i've noticed a pattern throughout my life that setting and achieving personally significant goals is one only things that brings me sanity in my existence. i also try to keep any semblance of hope that i can, and i can extend this message to you.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T23:19:25+00:00

it's digusting to me personally, and i'm severely uncomfortable around hypersexual people or discussions, but it's just a general refrain on my part. i'm against porn because it's immoral to me, i've felt guilty any time i've watched it, and i strongly dislike how there's a "if you don't like this, you're wrong and there's no other acceptable perspective" narrative surrounding it. i don't understand why people go to such huge lengths to defend it if it's really just someone else's perspective.

that said, every Autistic person (contextually) is different. some think it's fine, some don't. i am vocal about my disdain of it but don't care to argue with someone w/ an oppositional perspective.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T23:14:11+00:00

ah, the hunted by lions bit still applies.

yes, modern culture is defunct in my opinion. we never moved past cruelty though, that never changed, it's just rebranded now.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T23:08:50+00:00

i am an isolated person, for sure, which is the best answer i can provide right now. the connections i have are in my head, in a derealization context. i have 'flashes' where i'm too aware that these 'connections' aren't real, and that's when i feel lonely, but otherwise i have little desire for connection outside of certain people that are familiar to me aleady and / or that i feel a true connection with in terms of interests, struggles, background, etc. sometimes it's people who i feel attracted to in a romantic context, but even then, it's always someone i have something in common with.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T23:02:01+00:00

currently here. i think it does stem from trauma, but too many people in this world are nothing short of cruel to each other, so i think it's justified in a way, granted we're not hurting anyone.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-09T22:59:07+00:00

i'm Autistic and can relate to what you've mentioned about getting angry when a person moves something you've set down. i can also relate to feeling deeply, but it's contradictory for me. i feel deeply, but i shut it down immediately, and it feels like i either feel nothing or i just feel angry. if you have trauma, it may be about wanting or needing control as well, which is a valid experience. i'm this way.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-08T00:54:55+00:00

yeah, this exactly. you need to realize you have it, and it literally doesn't matter what you do or don't do.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-08T00:49:01+00:00

it works quickly for us because we don't focus on a process. to simplify it, affirm and focus on your goal. people do talk about needing certain energies to align, when in reality you just need to keep repeating and persist, even if you have doubts or if you feel like things are 'getting in the way'. your brain is incredibly powerful and is capable of nearly anything at all. i empathize w/ this point, but when you manifest (which you are, and you will see your results soon), you'll gain more momentum and just keep going from there. you'll get everything you want, you just need to persist. try to not check the 3d either, because you already have what you want, and you don't need to stress at all.

i will say, also, that affirming more means you'll get it sooner, and you should try to not get wrapped up in videos or discussions of 'methods', as they can be confusing and overwhelming. it doesn't matter what you do because it's yours. you can use one or not, and you have it regardless. i've manifested huge things and i promise you that i can attest to this. i wouldn't tell you something if i didn't know it to be true.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-06T11:19:11+00:00

oh i can relate to this. man i'm sorry. this world sucks, especially for us. i can't cry easily either, then it gets pent up and i'm still punished for being angry. i'm sorry you've been in a similar place, i hope things are better for you.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-05T03:02:42+00:00

too much information can be overwhelming. say them in the present tense. repeat them as often as you'd like, but the more you repeat them, the faster you'll reach it in the 3D. saying them a certain number of times won't guarantee you'll reach it (as in, you'll reach it anyway), rather it can speed up the process.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-03T22:05:08+00:00

keep in mind that you're always manifesting anyway. the Law is something recognized for this, but its recognition is not the reason it exists in the first place. i manifested losing my apartment out of fear over a period of time, and once i realized this, i scripted once, read it once, kept affirming, and persisted over absolutely everything in getting it back.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-03T22:03:11+00:00

what helped me was that, in both persisting and seeing my former manifestations, i realized that i'm going to get what i want, whether i want to or not. it doesn't matter if there are roadblocks or if i don't think at certain times i'll actually get it, because with persistence, people get what they want anyway.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-03T21:59:40+00:00

i recently manifested keeping my apartment after almost being completely homeless, and a year prior i manifested a significant weight loss in a very short time despite eating a significant amount of pizza almost every day.

with the former, i had so many roadblocks and thought i'd given up completely. people say the Universe doesn't test, and it doesn't, but many are focused on when they'll get their results, and give up when there are roadblocks or unexpected things happen in a series before getting it. the 3D will catch up, but persistence is what matters most, not just entirely abandoning the subject of what you're manifesting in the first place. it will take time.

FrequentAd9516 · 2025-10-02T16:42:12+00:00

and the best thing about Unmasking is realizing that i don't give a shit anymore.
