autism is just being self-aware amongst npcs. instead of following the script, you question things too much and have your own values outside of culturally inherited memes which creates unavoidable friction when dealing with people. there is no room for thinking otherwise you ruin the flow of action. like a manual walker, except you are manual living. "anon is clumsy and awkward" "anon can't understand body language and can't take a hint" anon doesn't receive the same commands as us or he ignores them for some reason. anon is an anomaly. we must exclude and gaslight him until he conforms or self-destructs. the only solution ends up being isolation and communicating with other "autists" on the internet and just being a passive observer to all events.

High functioning autism is so horrible, You are normal looking enough to be perceived as a person and to have all the expectations of personhood put upon you, but everyone can notice that your practiced movements are fake. No amount of copying normiegroids will make you look like one, because normiegroids can spot a fraud from a mile away. High functioning autism means you look like a person, but there's something fundamentally off about you that makes people uncomfortable. Le uncanny valley effect.
If you have autism stop trying to win in a game that is rigged against you and try to get a disability so you can neet in comfort while pursuing your special interests.

I want to express my respect for the posters in this thread. Throughout my life, I’ve felt like a broken alien stranded on a foreign planet. I’ve always known I was different, but it’s only as an adult that I’ve gained any real self-awareness. Now, I understand the many downsides of autism—traits that often overlap with other communities. You’d think discussions like this would be common in those spaces, but I’ve only found them here.
To engage in a thread like this, you need to exist in a “Goldilocks zone” of the autism spectrum. If you’re too autistic, you may lack the self-insight to relate. If you’re not autistic enough, you might not feel the need to be here at all. The people here seem to be self-aware adults who “look normal” but struggle—or feel overwhelmed—by everyday life. Because so much of this comes down to mental processing (informational, psychological, social), there’s often no obvious behavioral difference to signal dysfunction. As a result, many of us seem to fall through the cracks.
Honestly, I think the best we can hope for is someone in a social welfare system taking pity on us and helping us secure support. When I reflect on what I have in life, it all stems from others giving me opportunities or resources because I got lucky. I feel deeply grateful for that support, but also terrified, knowing I couldn’t survive without it.

There's a structural problem with being autistic that makes you want to avoid anything that requires spontaneous precise physical action, because in order to learn anything that requires fine motoric skills an autist needs like 10 X the time and dozens of multiple repetitions before he can realize the motions even remotely as good as a normal person can after first two tries. The experience of this is what made me gave up about life mostly. I have extreme trouble learning things that require precise movement including video games but especially things like handicraft and crafting and art. This circumstance prevented me from even trying to live a decent life because it's too much effort and humiliation and feelings of lacking and shortcomings. Easier to take drugs like Kratom, weed alcohol and cope with pessimism and suicidal ideation, those things never disappointed me.

Never doing such an event again. That's how it has been with everything that requires such motoric, coordinative, spatial skills.

That is no reason to not be autistic. But I guess such statements would only be uttered by people not on the spectrum themselves.

Do any other autismos ITT struggle with sleep issues? For me, it's not so much the autism itself that holds me back—it's the lack of regular, consistent sleep. Without proper sleep, mental functioning takes a hit, and physical recovery becomes so much harder.
Every job demands a consistent schedule, but my sleep disturbances are unpredictable, which makes it impossible to stick to one. When I don't sleep well, everything falls apart: my mood tanks, my motivation disappears, and I feel like I can't accomplish anything.

They hate us because we don't play along. One of the most common normie advice is "don't think, just act" or some other feely bullshit like that. Most car drivers have no idea how a car works, and they have no interest to find out, yet they have the ability to drive it. Those NPCs have the same attitude towards everything else about life - no desire to understand, only go with the flow. We on the other hand, tend to question, analyze and systematize. This "oblivious" vs "questioning" difference is the fundamental difference, and the reason why we might never get along. We ask too many questions, while normies hate it when questions shake their status quo.

>>298716Einstein said he was in the highest flow state of his scientific career when he knew the least.
When he accumulated more and more knowledge, he came up with less and less working scientific theorems or solutions.
By all common logic, he should have been more successful and skilled when he aged and knew more.
But it ended up giving him total decision fatigue and paralysis.
In the end, his main texts surviving to this day are from the very beginning of his career when he barely understood the field and simply chose to challenge Isaac Newton in a series of three papers and it turned out he was right.
He went by pure intuition instead of *only* deep knowledge and fact, and he won.
Normies operate under the exact same principle, except with 100 times less knowledge than Einstein.
And they win because much of the time in life, winning is just the courage to challenge the current status quo in *some way*.
His involved pure scientific fact, a basic normie does it by creating a better product or idea than his peers.
In the case of normies, it's even easier than being Einstein. You don't have to *objectively* have a better product or idea, you just have to _convince_ people everyone is wrong except you. And if enough people believe you, you become successful.
