My whole life being annoyed at how I don't get on with normal people and wondering why all my friends seem to be neurodivergent, being great at any subject I care about but useless in any class where I merely dislike the teacher or subject, doing overtly unusual things in public and barely noticing the stares, and thinking I was perfectly NT the whole time.
It is a deeply absurd experience.

I have this problem where I call out the absurd “normal” things people do and say to me when people do or say them and they stare back at me in utter confusion.

Yeah, that PTSD from people treating us awfully is a tough one to overcome. Especially when they deny the existence of our trauma. Thanks mom and dad.
