| I watched that portion of your video. You were a super cute kid. But I would not have suspected Autism from what I saw in the video. Many little kids hand flap regardless of their neurology especially when they are excited. I would need to see much more of your daily life to see if I see the Autism.... |

| Recently, some of the medical issues that I have had are getting much worse and much more severe. No doctors have ever been able to explain why I have the medical issues that I have. No matter how many tests they run, they can't find anything. I know that these issues are very real, and I have becom... |

| I don't know, I've seen plenty of autistic people who don't see through nonsense any better than NTs. That is definitely the case sometimes I have noticed that the Autistic people whom I have encountered who can't see through the nonsense are not deep thinkers. They tend to be more shallow. But the... |

| I don’t know if it’s me but I tend to see through a load of nonsense that neurotypical tend to accept. I read that it’s an autistic thing and I guess that is probably true. Probably due to the fact that our brains are wired differently. Anyone autistic individuals relate to this or am I just overth... |

| Anyone can answer this no matter what your neurotype is but I am very interested in what NTs have to say about this. I have had so many interactions with nts where when I tell them that I am Autistic, they respond by saying, "But you are doing so well." These are people are complete strang... |

| In this hypothetical, your autism can now be a trademarked brand. By your autism, that can be whatever you think of as your autism. It can be strictly medical autism spectrum disorder symptoms like sensory differences and repetitive behaviors. It can be how it plays out in your general life like sp... |
