@keylimelanna: Like an alien in a human form trying to pretend and blend in as much as possible so I’m not outed and hated and ostracized. And it was SO subconscious bc I was told I was just like everyone else and I need to fit in so bad so whatever this thing is MUST be hidden away or else. I imagine it’s probably very similar for people with other neurodivergences too so if you relate but aren’t autistic pls add to the conversation! Would love to hear about it :) #actuallyautistic #audhd #neurodivergent #autisticcreator #adhd #adhdinwomen #autistic #autisticadult #autism #adhdtiktok #adhdtok
I genuinely thought i was a clinical psychopath because i had to put so much effort into learning how to do neurotypical things/mask

people disliking us because they knew we were being unauthentic but not why

“Nobody hates me more than me!” Is a ‘joke’ I’ve had since I was in middle school. All because I didn’t know I was autistic and needed help, not that I was just inherently flawed as a person

Oh absolutely I remember thinking “I don’t think I’d be friends with myself” a lot as a child

I thought i had a terrible anger problem. turns out I was just extremely dysregulated and having meltdowns the second i was home and felt safe.

I didn't think I was a monster but I definitely thought I was an alien or something. I couldn't understand how people could be so mean and not say exactly what they meant. I didn't like playing the guessing game. It was really hard to find people that didn't act condescending or infantilize me.

genuinely i appreciate these videos so deeply. my inner child needs to hear that she wasn't alone in how she felt, now that i know why she felt that way

Exactly!! I use to write poetry as a kid/teen ALL about hiding myself behind a mask of beauty & pleasantries and fooling ppl about what was hidden within. And comparing myself to things like white oleander; a beautiful flower that’s poisonous. I truly felt like I had a monster lurking within me. Turns out it was just autism 😅

Anybody else watch naruto in their formative years and really emphasize with his whole 'ostracized because of the monster inside me' bit?

No :
yes!!! I really internalized that I'm a "selfish" person who "doesn't care how other people feel". I could not accurately tell how other people felt and therefore would not always respond appropriately. I do care. I just can't tell. :( now that I have friends who know they have to tell me WITH WORDS how they feel, I'm able to have relationships that feel very good and reciprocal. But the idea that I'm selfish still kind of haunts me

especially when you struggle with friendships, it feeds into that belief that there's something wrong with you

When I was a small child I was treated as someone fragile, sensitive, talented, precious and worthy of protection. Then I grew up and the description changed to lazy, selfish, careless, bad person, not worthy of empathy, a failure. The change broke me and I lived my life thinking I’m just a horrible person

Monster is the word I used for it too. Not diagnosed yet. Looking back on some really impactful moments in my life, so many of them have been meltdowns and not being helped, being called lazy and dramatic and being dismissed.
