autism talk
... so I'm realizing that irl, I really don't mask my autism at all, lol. I blurt things out at inappropriate times, I'm both exceedingly honest and exceedingly gullible, I don't make eye contact, I visibly act a little weird. I do not script conversations, I do not force eye contact, I do not try to copy behaviors and movements. I only fooled myself into thinking I mask because I like meeting people and I'm able to be friendly on first impression. I think I appear very neurotypical, but clearly my perception is off because if I really acted as neurotypical as I thought I did, I wouldn't have been the weird loner classmate/coworker all my life.I also thought that infodumping was not something I did, but my friends told me the other day that yeah, I do in fact infodump. I think it's because in high school, I just... really didn't get the opportunity to infodump much. But I always thought it was because I just wasn't good enough at remembering facts and stuff. It was only until I caught myself talking about veganism and communism and art and DIY for hours that I realized that yes, I do actually infodump, at least when I'm given the space to.
Having autism realizations 3 years after first taking the tests? It's more likely than you think, folks.
Congrats on the realization and having friends who give you space to info dump!
Glad things are working for you with your friends, nice to have people to infodump with
I don't mask either ^^
This has been exactly my experience my whole life. School, summer camp, job, everywhere. It used to bother me a lot, I struggled with it for years, but now that I understand that it stems from me being autistic I am a lot less bothered by it.
