Whats your take? Creepy or not?
  • We don't know about what the girl said after the explanation. She probably didn't mention it again since it clearly didn't work the first time.

    "Anon" kinda just ignored how she felt/told her what (at least from my perspective) amounts to "your feelings are invalid because that wasn't my intent".

    As for the subsequent actions, I'd attribute that to high school level mental maturity/not knowing how to handle such situations. Talking it out would be the ideal scenario, though that rarely happens even long after high school time from what I've seen ._.

    (Rant - that might not be fully related to replied to comment anymore - over :P)

  • Post quotes from your autism assessment report!
    • a long time without two-way communication, now he can adapt because it's expected of him
    • mostly uniform "social smile" with little variation
    • generally a rather uniform and seemingly distant facial expression
    • social chatting only with family members, not others
    • little interest in other kids his age, rarely (if at all) being the one to initiate contact

    Found this in some doctors notes from a few years back, not sure if it was specifically autism related but it seems close enough :P

    It's kinda funny now seeing my smile at the time being described with little variation and sometimes seeming sightly condescending. Makes me wonder how much of that was just me trying to smile at appropriate times

  • What are some of your unmasked behaviors?
  • Sometimes it feels like I'm going into auto-pilot mode when I have to go to another room for something. Rarely it can get to the extent where I'm like "I need <thing>, it's probably in the living room.", then I'm thinking about something else and the process of walking only really registers after I've arrived
