Being “gullible” was always my down fall especially being a kid I definitely got picked on a lot 😩 I feel everyone of these!! My son is autistic and I’m 98 percent sure I am too just never diagnosed but I relate to my son so well.

I didn’t know how to walk normally so I used to copy the girls in anime. One day my mom said why do you walk like that? I didn’t know it was strange in real life

Every time I read people’s autistic discovery stories I think to myself I must be autistic. Then I go to a psychiatrist and they say no, just extremely traumatized and are constantly regulating your nervous system. So if there is anyone out there who had an exceptionally bad childhood and and has a hard time functioning, I exist. I haven’t met anyone like me yet, but I am here.

I legitimately CANNOT comprehend math. I only know how to do basic math problems, and that’s pretty much only bc I memorized the answers, not that I know how to do the work to find the answer. 💀 outside of basic addition and subtraction I don’t understand it at all. it caused a lot of problems for me as a kid, I cried a lot over math homework
