Well, that didn't happen. I pretty much keep to myself as much as possible because I don't think people will ever be receptive to me unless I put on an NT mask. I do my own thing, trying not to worry about how things "should" be and accept myself as is.

I do the same, as that's all any of us can do... but I do feel we should have more right to be able to live a life that suits us, without having to continually swim against a tide of ignorance and endlessly feeling we have to explain selves.... educating others just to be is exhausting after a while, when will society wake up that we are all simply not all the same!
to be fair, even if you DID put on that "mask", do you really think they'd be receptive to you, or would they be trying to BS their way thru it?

Mask or no mask some for some strange reason seem to think I am a alien or something, alien to them, and it sure is not my thought they do not or can not understand!
