People are expected to be good at talking and body language etc.

Because Im autistic im bad at verbal and non verbal communication and i end up being asocial and feeling like a loser.

That's all i want to say today.

I often feel the same way. Which is why I am most comfortable when I am alone, or around my close family where I can unmask if I need to.

Pre-diagnosis I felt the same way you do. Post-diagnosis I know there's a reason for it and I don't beat myself up over it anymore.
