trying to fit, i think there may be some common strategies people all employ. dunno. like pre-emptively making up a whole plan of how to position your body and your hands and feet, like a whole strategy, for instance. i do that i think, i dont really think of it. not sure

i wasnt very good at masking and ended up highly isolated at school because of it. it is due to this i feel pain when i act too autistic around allistic people. this, of course, is the cure the autism

If I haven’t run a test conversation on something I don’t say it. Sometimes I lose certain answers or scripts and can’t answer certain questions. Once somebody asked me what my name was and I couldn’t answer
