genuinely how. and ho w many people actually do it

my entire life was thrown away because of this disease, and every day i grieve what couldve been, i dont have any friends, knowledge or experience in anything. Im a failure to my family because of all my restrictions and im apparenly unable to socialize.

I’ve barely had any real friends and evem with my own family i never fit in, i feel like not a active participant in anything

autism is a terrible disorder that’s ruined my life

for me i recently found out that the way i’ve thought having conversations was supposed to go was wrong, apparently it’s an neurodivergent thing and seen as rude to bring up an experience of your own in a conversation to relate. absolutely blew my mind when i found out this was rude

like i wouldn’t even talk to them, i just kind of followed behind while they were doing their thing, i am not even sure if they noticed me most of the time and it was not like i asked if i could be with them or that they invited me or anythin. anyone else did this?
