MODERATORS
Most people have to try really hard it fit into the world, even those who don't have Autism. What you see especially online is their highlight reel, what they don't show you is all the stress and effort it takes them to fit in and keep up with everybody else.
The good part is that once you're aware of the above it's easier to just do your own thing instead of trying to fit whatever you perceive as supposedly normal.
Yeah, thank you
