I just started a new job on 21 Feb, and already 3 ppl (out of about 16 total) have commented on my talking to myself. I have played it off so far, like I was just cursing my computer for not working, or something to that effect. But I know that this is going to continue, as that is how I am, so I have to prepare for the accusations.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I have no intentions of telling ANYONE I am Autistic, but I might go for "quirky/eccentric".
The thing that makes me the angriest is the fact that NTs get weirded out by it at all. Talking to yourself means NOTHING. They just confuse it with what schizophrenic people do, which isn't even talking to themselves, as they actually think there is someone else there.
