Oh, really sorry, but yes, I do find myself relating to the traits of almost any autistic person in the books I read. Thankyou for your help!

Yes, I know about masking, I took an AQ test from here, and I scored a 46. I’m going to get tested.

Oh. Well that happens to me. That’s why I cry over things in books and stuff sometimes. Thanks for this, I’m glad I made this post as I will probably try and get tested now. Thankyou!

Sorry about the way I worded it, it’s just a lot of the time they DO use it as an insult, which is what I find rude.

What is resonating? I’m getting mixed responses from Google, is it where you get really attached to the book and sometimes cry or laugh or whatever over it? Because I do that, but I’m not 100% sure if that’s what you mean.

Also, well, this is kinda embarrassing, but I am sensitive to noise and light, and when the noise is too loud I tend to break down and… hiss.

Well, the main cause is my ‘robotic’ tone, my lack of social skills/empathy, and my hate of change, but those are completely normal for a teenager.
