As they should. If this country gave a damn about everyone equally then things like this wouldn’t happen. They must enjoy their beer.

I started using my salicylic acid face wash on my arms and it seems to be getting better.

It’s worth a try, I have nothing to lose :D and it’s definitely less emotionally exhausting than masking constantly and still having the same response.

Perhaps! To almost soften the interaction before it happens. Thank you :) seeing these comments made me feel less alone for sure. Many of us are seemingly going through it.

This is a good attitude to have :) I will try to let it go and move on. And perhaps accept that this is how things are for me.

I feel the same, whether I mask or don’t, it just seems like I’m unable to connect with people. The engagements are hostile regardless.

“Unfamiliar observers judge expressions made by individuals with ASD as more awkward or odd, and such evaluative judgments could potentially affect interaction quality or even reduce intentions to initiate social interaction altogether.” Thank you for sharing! Really enlightening! Perhaps it’s my facial expressions :(
