Thank you. But Ive been bullied throughout my life and even my father called me a freak and such, to the point I moved out the minute I became 18. So part of me wishes I was nt so I could just be accepted.
Comment on Can you live a fulfilling life with autism?

Even “NT” people are weird. Just because you work different doesn’t make you sub-human, doesn’t mean you can’t have a “normal” life, or that you don’t deserve to be happy and to be loved and to have a fulfilling “normal” life.
Keep your chin up, and keep at it.

Don’t let a few really shit people make you doubt that you’re worth being here.

What actions are leading to these reactions?
AlissaSameer@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Awkward, I had a lot of behavorial issues growing up that alienated me, Ive been in psych wards, stuff like that

Mind going further in describing the actual things or is that too personal?

Personally, I’m not really sure if a true “neurotypical” exists. Just people with traits that don’t yet have scientific/quantitative definitions or labels for. We’re all just people and our only common trait is that we’re all different and weird.

Neurotypical just means you’re in the bulge of the bell curve of traits and your traits are common. It doesn’t mean you’re normal, just average.

Or…. “Typical”…. 😉
Zachariah@lemmy.world 8 months ago
exactly
(though I was trying to avoid a circular definition)

;) that’s why I put it in quotes. Totally agree, btw!
