Trying to get an idea of how NTs see us. I know that when I see autistic people, I see someone that’s like me. Obviously, that’s not how NTs perceive us, so what do we look like to yall??

    No no, you didn’t use it wrong its just that there are multiple interpretations and the term is only recently gaining traction in psychiatry.

    What i am trying to say is you may not consider yourself to be autistic which is how the medical world Classifies us.

    But you sound like you have a high chance of being neurodivergent which is the group we ourselves classify ourselves and it includes any neurological diversity including classical: autism, adhd, dyslexia and many many others, including people with no discernible disabilities, difficulties or challenges.

    In yet other words, you may not be one of us the way you perceive us but you might totally be one of us the way we perceive you.

    I wholeheartedly recommend reading that wiki-article i send.
