@keylimelanna: being high masking was so hard as a kid, i wish i could go back and give her a hug #actuallyautistic #autisticcreator #audhd #autistic #neurodivergent #highmaskingautism #adhd #autisticadult #autistictiktok #autismacceptance
It’s like with accents- literally it’s ppl picking up behavior from those around them. Autistics just do it more intensely in other areas lol

Holly crap, this is the first time I heard of the term "mirroring" and yet I have done that my whole life. Only been diagnosed for like a year but even when I was younger I noticed I did that but

Mmmmkay yeah we’re basically the same person lol all of this was exactly my life experience too. I was so convinced that my performance had to be so perfectly curated back then that now it’s led to so many unnecessary heath issues…I was raised to believe that I absolutely HAD to be somebody and now I pretty much want the exact opposite bc being in that world was WAY too much of a sacrifice for like net zero gain…I just wish that I could have my childhood redone with parents that were more emotionally mature than a 12 year old…

Yes! Finally knowing I’m autistic has allowed me to accept my humanity. It’s freeing.

No cause I’m still convinced I’m not a real person sometimes because of the mirroring

100 percent! The diagnosis provides a lens through which we see ourselves and our lives so much more clearly and understand ourselves. More comfortable with myself.

sometimes it is also confusing as I do not really know who I am from mirroring

I have a question it's unrelated to this but: I really love cats and fur of a cat brings me satisfaction and joy when I pet it. of course i understand and know cat Is more then just fur. but yesterday

I have never heard a more accurate description of my existence as a Neurodivergent person like EVER. You’re so real for this :) thank you. I’m starting to get there confidence wise to share my story as well (been dabbling in writing books) but just not quite there yet.

SpoopyRaven :
it's wild to think that I'm allowed to have reactions and moods that are my own instead of mirrored behaviour... even worse to think about what truly is one's own volition and who that one actually is

DrewUK :
It's true for all of us that our outputs are a result of our inputs: I've moved to a different city and I'm picking up a different accent and I think about that in comparison to my own mirroring.
