It’s funny because it was my autism that made it so hard to me to realise I was autistic, because I understood the criteria all wrong due to my literal thinking

those 'Honk if you like-" bumper stickers. I really thought people put those on their cars because they wanted people to honk if they liked whatever was on the sticker. not that they were using it as an excuse for their bad driving

I thought I didn't have special interests because I thought we had to know EVERYTHING about a topic to be able to consider it a special interest. so if I didn't know every bit of something, even if I could talk about it for hours and I was thinking of it all day everyday, I was like "meh, I don't have a special interest". I learned that it wasn't supposed to be like that TWO WEEKS AGO. I'm 32. Now, let's talk about literal thinking.

I swear the autism criteria is specifically worded so that people with autism wouldn't be able to piece it together themselves

I didn't believe I had texture issues because all my stuff was perfectly fine to touch it took me a while to realize that was because I wasn't buying things that didn't feel nice.

my assessment went like this: -do you have a routine? -no, I don't think so, I do things at different hours everyday -hm, do you make something the exact same way every single time? -oh yeah, totally, I won't drink coffee unless it's made my way

“If you do something the same 80% of the time and the 20% is little bit different? That’s a routine.” Me a diagnosed autistic: ‘No it’s not, that’s a habit-‘

that's... that's what they mean with routine? I thought they meant like an actual schedule I would follow 😭 as a kid I would freak out if I didn't have a certain drink in the morning

I think I'm autistic so much and it's driving me insane because people don't think I'm 'autistic enough to be autistic'

It took me a while to realize I had special interests bc before I always saw it talked about in regards to academics, about memorizing an encyclopedic amount of facts about something technical, and I always thought "Yeah no way I'm the same, I'm really into this fandom, and think all the time about this media, and can spend whole days only reading fanfictions of those characters, but I'm not a walking encyclopedia of a subject so of course it doesn't apply to me"

I took "practising facial expressions" too literally and thought it meant like, setting aside time in your day to practice. I was like no I don't do that. Until I remembered that in a big social or overwhelming environment I'll go to the bathroom to recover for a minute and smile at myself in the mirror until I think it looks natural enough to go back out, because when I'm overwhelmed I stop being able to put on a "natural" happy expression (mask)
