I thought of this today encountering my problems where I'm trying to be normal, so do and say things normal people expect, but I overcompensate and overdo it, which is even worse.
If I was to draw a visual representation of this kind of experience of autism, I would depict a series of very ordinary views, the kind of situations you might see every day - a street, a shop, a bus, an office. Everything perfectly normal - and bisect it with a thin line that shifted the top from the bottom a few millimetres. So it looks normal at first glance or from a distance, but when you get close you realise everything is disconnected and disjointed, not meeting in the middle.
