I so appreciate this! As a docent in historic homes, I stress to visitors unseen objects like sunglasses, which were rarely included in portraiture.
You may be cool but are you Nathaniel Old’s sunglasses in 1837 cool? -

Spending time & money trying to find a “cause” or “cure” for autism is not just a waste of resources—it is actively harmful. It makes up a large amount of the research that has been done historically. It still makes up most of the budget for autism research now.

"Social skills" has always been such a loaded term for me, because of the way people equated it with masking and tried to impose that on me. At one point, I said f$#k "social skills" and became someone very nasty. I've been unlearning that and now trying to relearn neuroaffirning social skills.

This is too real. Not even because I don't want to inconvenience someone else, but because I don't want to have to engage in small talk with whomever agrees to help. At this point, I have become very dismissive avoidant.

You did what you had to do to survive. The consequences of not masking may have been more severe to you than they were to me; I still paid a huge price, but felt it was worth it.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.
