Well, I’m 15F and even if I’m just high functioning theres one thing. One thing that basically ruined me, made me cry countless of times, even caused meltdowns….

Autism is mostly related to social interactions for me, I suck at them.

I have never managed to make real friends, no matter how hard I tried, people never seemed to really like me. Because I talked to much about my interests, because I was a bit to awkward, because I’m to different, because I can be impulsive… and also because I suck at showing empathy despite being super empathetic.

Plus the fact that I often need to stay alone, despite wanting friends so bad, social interactions exhaust me, and it’s to complicated too, having to pretend to be someone that I’m not just because I’m scared people wont like me.

It hurts to see teenage girls my age completely managing to find friends and get along with them and then…. Theres me. I dont know exactly why people don’t really like me but my thoughts are : My way of dressing, I don’t wear any “trendy” clothes and dont have a specific style. As long as I’m comfortable in my clothes then I’m good, the fact that I am not interested in the stuff that interests people my age, my kind of weird/childish behavior, the fact that I stim a lot, the fact that I dont like going out often….

[While writing that post I started doubting my diagnosis again ughhhh]
