I've got this feelings... they study it, whatever, then you say "maybe are you too" and they got it as offensive.

I wasn't care about be or not, I felt as it wouldn't change it... maybe I was early too.

But they study, they are a great advocacy PRO... then never accept they can be too.

Because those people cling to the identity of "being normal" or categorized as 'not different'.

It's not the matter of being disabled or being neurotypical, not really, but more over the associations of disabled and inferior.

Those who are 'more or less obviously struggling but slipepd through the cracks', the the types to deny it usually because they strive this idea of "normal" and worked hard over the perception and illusion that they're "normal".
They associate 'full human' with the concept of 'able bodied neurotypical human "norm"' and anything else is 'subhuman'. :roll:


And if they had accepted a bit of a possibility that they're also autistic, they'd still cling over the idea of 'closer to being normal' i.e. "more neurotypical", or cope that they have something special.

Exactly my point. Isn't being or not but how much for them is cringe the idea of being it... boh.

People have said that to me online, but it's never offended me. It's been more of a compliment.

In person I have to put energy into holding myself back quite a bit. I'm too expressive, too talkative, too interested in everyone and everything...just too much in general.

If a person is offended, you are probably hitting on their secret fear.
