Acting nice and being treated good doesn’t mean they want to associate with you. I’ve had friends in the past but I was always the back up friend. Its more of a pity thing. There is actual research on how people treat autistic people and many autistic people have encountered that sort of bias view point. And to say everyone is autistic is very downgrading to our actual problems. It invalidates our issues. Not everyone is autistic, yes you may relate to some of the things we experienced.
But it doesn’t mean you’re autistic. And even countless of posts on TikTok’s about this weird treatment we get from neurotypicals and there is obv research on this. I wouldn’t be saying this if it wasn’t true. How about you get yourself educated before invalidating autistic struggles.
I’m not “self diagnosing” I’ve been evaluated before in elementary school and I was in special education for many years. I got out of special education because they didn’t provide the needs I needed. They never took care of our needs and so I dipped out. I was able to leave because my academics was good. Also I was taking honor classes with all the neurotypicals.
