▲ 10 r/autism
I used to think that if I just dressed the right way, showed interest in the right hobbies/music/tv shows, and said the right things, I could make friends and be accepted. Since learning I have autism, it's like this huge weight has been lifted off me. Now I know I can never be or do enough for NT's to like me, they don't or won't. I can just be me now, and nothing will change, as far as people liking me. Now I just have to learn who I am.
