Ooh! Lots Of Normal People!

Post Reply New Topic

When I first joined this site I thought "Ooh! Lots of normal people!" and what I mean by that is that I took myself as being normal but everyone else on the planet as rather odd as they didn't think like I do.
But I was delighted to find that when I joined to ask a few questions (I was going to join, ask and dissapear) I found this site full of normal people like me!

It is a type of role reversal by how I thought. It was like I was thinking "I'm the only NT on the planet!"

It is wierd. Years of reasoning to myself that it was I that was the only one with a normal thinking brain and everyone else was different, but collectively different.

No wonder it took me so long to work out what was going on. Actually it was you lot who helped me to fathom things out and a Youtube video before that entitled "Ask An Autistic", and before that I was dating a lady who was on the spectrum and so was her son...

But a huge big large big huge big "Thank you" to everyone who has helped both now and in the past by answering so many questions and helping me in my quest to fathom out who I am and what has been going on. Much appreciated! Thank you so much!

I actually had the opposite. I grew up thinking I was the weird one and different. I had the self awareness to know because if everyone else acts differently than me, I had to be the weird one.

"You met one weird person, you met one weird person. If every person you met is weird, you're the weird one."
