    My SO’s therapist said they couldn’t be autistic because they could maintain eye contact.

    That was the last time they went to that therapist.

    Been there, done that. Then people can’t understand what happens when you hit autistic burnout and can no longer function.

      Triple checking that you double checked everything and mentally preparing to go outside to play human in the hopes that no one notices that somethings off. Doesn’t really matter, there’s a thing to do and you can’t do anything till that is crossed off the list
