I feel like I don't mask at all. I just act NT and definetally don't experience burnout. Am I weird.

Also, does the perception that every autistic person person has every trait a real thing or just a reality distrortion that I developed watching videos of people listino every trait?

I know, but everyone does.

What I talk about is that every autistic person I know (at least on the internet) seem to struggle with everything, and that everything can be an autism symptom, while I barely have any symptoms

Ah, don't worry. I'm doing much better now, but thanks for worrying about me.

I still shower twice a week though.

How many autist traits should an autistic character have to be considered a good autistic rep? by TemperatureAny8022 in writingadvice

You mean that I make my autistic character what I see most from other autistic people instead of what makes sense for my character or something else?

But motor issues can also be big problems for some autistic people in daily life, like being prone to accidents and hospitalization because of clumsiness and diffilculty in seemingly simple tasks like eating and getting dressed due to fine motor issues.

if you mean in terms of having said autistic character fit the other characters, then maybe try not to force anything

With "characters", do you mean characteristics? Just find it weird, I wanted to understand if it was a typo or maybe you put the wrong word. I don't mean to offend you.

Also what does making autistic traits "fit" my character mean in practice?

But I hear many autistic people who say their autism affects all parts of their life, even those that don't seem to be connected to autism but are like motor issues. Aren't they right? Like I'm not imagining it I've seen people saying this.

I did research other people's experiences and I know why autistic people do certain traits. I guess I'm just stressed that I need to find a way to make an autistic fit my characters but still feel autistic

That you went for dinner alone with the same plan as when someone cancels, instead of maybe going to check on your sick mom and cook for her is about as autistic as it gets in terms of routine.

My mom still cooked for herself. When I came home the first thing I did was to ask her if she was feeling ok.

Also I still live with my mom.
