Feeling like everyone else has the "lack of empathy"

People who think it’s trendy to be autistic. People who think they are autistic just because they are unsociable etc. Being misunderstood Being brutally honest - doesn’t win you friends for sure. Masking - its imbedded

Oh easy! SOCIETY!! autism itself ain't the problem honey. And even what you call "severe cases" it's not the autism, it is the intellectual impairment that is the cause of most problems, but for the rest of us, society is the root cause of all our pain and suffering! Because of lack of awareness, because it makes us mentally and physically sick, since nothing is make for us, or at least with us in mind. Like imagine I ruined all aspects of your life because you can't paint, like what?

I feel like if you are black and got it, the toughness is twice as hard, these people are living in hardcore mode.

People constantly undermining the struggles of being autistic

Sometimes feeling trapped inside myself. Feeling so confused by my environment I literally can’t operate. But this being totally invisible to others because I mask so well.
