Have people insisted you're faking ASD?

It really sucks when people just assume we're faking it, like our experiences don't count. Just know you're not alone, and it's okay to call that out.

I've never had anyone within the past few years insist I'm faking, because it's pretty obvious. My ability to interact with people and mask varies sometimes wildly day by day though, depending on the social energy I have, so I think some people might think I'm not actually as affected as I am and that I maybe fake problems with communication that I have (like I usually apparently don't talk very well and I talk in a weird sing-songy tone, but some days I can manage to focus on speaking better and talk way better, which throws people off). Those are unimportant people that I don't interact with often enough for them to understand me or for me to worry about it though.

^ I can relate to that
