@mariaaudhd: I will argue that level 1 autism is the loneliest experience. your not "normal" enough to fit in but not autistic enough to be believed. #autism #actuallyautistic #neurodivergent

I just mask heavily… Get burnt out, isolate, skill regress, recover, and then repeat the cycle 😅

It’s neurodivergent purgatory. I’m normal enough to not be “obvious” but just “off” enough to have people ask me “when is the mother ship coming to pick you up?”

autism, adhd, and a whole mountain of chronic illnesses. I don't even bother trying to make friends anymore.

The way “I’m not making this about me I’m trying to relate to you” has become a regular preface of mine when talking to people 🫩

the need to over explain so there aren't any questions or misunderstandings that results in misunderstandings and more questions 😭 Just let me explain without interrupting and you will get all the information that you need!!!!! 😭😭

You can’t even really make friends with autistic people because it’s a spectrum and we’re all different.

I acknowledge your experience, but I don't think ranking whose experience is loneliest is productive. This is my experience in ND online communities and support groups as someone with level 2 autism. These spaces are predominantly made up of people with level 1 autism, and it is incredibly isolating when you're "too autistic" in the space you're meant to belong. I've experienced some of the worst ableism in these spaces too.

I will argue that as a 59 year old I have been missed diagnosed for decades because when I was a child there was no such thing as autism.

and your employer will point out every autistic trait you have to say you need to “work on it”

Yep.. especially if you’re undiagnosed and you know but you’re older and the pros and cons of a diagnosis have you never sure enough about getting one.

just got diagnosed about a month ago and yes I did not expect to grieve so much and feel so sad and lonely. I haven’t even told my family

At the age of 47 I’ve only come to realize in the past year that I’m most likely autistic. Every video I see about autism helps me make more sense of myself. But anytime I try to mention it to my husband or even my own mother, I get told to stop chasing labels. Just tonight my husband told me he knows how I get when I fall down a rabbit hole that I need to stay out of the autism rabbit hole. Like WTF. I feel like nobody listens to me. I feel so unheard. I’m so tired.

Fucking felt. It’s crazier when your family knows you’re level one and assume you “barely have autism” like mine. Like they know what level one looks or feels like.
