Trying to get an idea of how NTs see us. I know that when I see autistic people, I see someone that’s like me. Obviously, that’s not how NTs perceive us, so what do we look like to yall??

    I really only know when it’s on the heavier end of the spectrum, and generally those people come across as tense/on edge and incredibly serious.

      I do relate, when I go very much ‘inside of myself’ I can feel it. Tense and serious describes it well, and at that stage I am probably obsessed about some abstract problem way out there of anybody else’s concern, usually to avoid something right in front of me 😆 But I promise there’s a sense of humour in there somewhere, really!
