Idk why it’s so hard to understand that autism is just a way of processing the world and no one sees how anyone else processes the world.

I’ve heard people call it “low support” which fits better. It’s still really fucking hard sometimes. Often. Always 😅

this! 🤎 I believe my hubby thinks I'm "normal" because he can't or doesn't see my internal struggles 😓

High functioning = high masking, imho. It's just that we adapt more to our surroundings to fit in. I'm AuDHD, in the process of unmasking, because masking is exhausting. No one would label me autistic or adhd if they didn't know, but there are signs 🤪

I've been hearing the term "high masking". I like that better. I think it describes things much better.

Thank you for articulating this so well. I was just diagnosed with autism at age 34 and trying to explain to my neurotypical husband what it is like inside my brain. Sharing this with him.

Not important :
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone. Explain it as clear and eloquently as you did. This makes so much sense. I’ve always read that people with autism don’t perceive the world as people without do if that makes sense.

SOOOO TRUEEE thank you for explaining it perfectly cause honestly I can struggle SO BADLY inside but if you see me I’d be masking to the point where no one will ever know then when I go home I have the biggest meltdown ever

I use the high/low description for people who dont have a clue. I’m late self identifying and my parents just think ASD is the typical non verbal, big stims and needing full care so “high” helps.

I think people can use whatever term they want to describe their autistic experience. it’s so different for everyone that no one terminology suits everybody

people with Autism see how the world actually is while everyone is trying to be fake and try to lie to you. which leads us to being alone most of the time.

the "noise" around covid (and now politics) has put me in and has kept me in a highly sensitive state. I feel stuck there now, and it is very difficult to enjoy life.

please share what goes on "inside".. i thought it was neurology.. but if that is true people ought to get a brain scan to study possible differences. I was lead to believe that aspergers never intend to hurt others but don't agree as like you mentioned there can be more than one issue simultaneously occurring

that's why us 'H F aU' get told we ain't got autism or real autism or it doesn't affect us like the other or we don't need help like the others, or those other ones really need the help you don't, etc but I always says it doesn't mean what we feel in the inside isn't the same, what you see on the outside is just what I show you.

comparison is the thief of joy. Every being has strengths and weaknesses. Ppl on the spectrum are here to change the world. You don't walk in your purpose until you know thyself accept,love and don't judge yourself. So stop letting otheres tell you who you are. Achieve inner Balance and follow the path you came to forge.
