A couple of my autistic friends like to insist that I'm autistic and it makes me feel like shit
Not because it would be a bad thing, but it feels like THEY need me to be autistic because we relate to each other so well, so how could I possibly not be? Because they've convinced themselves only other autistic people understand them and their world won't make sense unless I'm autistic.
But I'm not. I'm just not. It feels shit having to assert that too! I don't think I'm better than you! I just am what I am and it feels bad when you insist I must be something else!
